My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California
Last September (2015) I filed an unemployment claim that used Q2 (Apr-June 2015) wages as my Highest Quarter, using the Alternate Base Period to approve my claim. So the base period was from July 2014 thru June 2015. It didn't pay much, but did help out.
I've worked a couple of more jobs since then (contract work) and I'm confident I'll be able to file a new claim once my old claim expires around Sep 7th, 2016. If I file, once I'm past this date, I see that they will use the Standard Base Period of April 2015 thru March 2016... Which I'm pretty sure you can not use the same calculated wages used on a previous claim. Would this mean that I would only get to use 9 months of wages for this Base Period calculation?
The alternative, which I would want to happen, would be to start my Base Period beginning Q3 (2015), which would then technically be calculated using the Alternate Base Period (once again) which would be July 2015-June 2016. I've read that you only can only use an alternate base period if you don't make enough money to qualify for a claim. Can base periods overlap on new claims?
One last alternative I think I have is to wait for October 2016 to come around, then I can file and my Regular Base Period would Start in Q3 (2015). but am hoping to not wait an extra month. BTW... If I do have to only accept 9 months worth of wages for my period, I could potentially lose out on over $5,000 in benefits, which would force me to wait till October to start my claim. Sorry question so long, I do apologize. Thank you so much.
