Question by Brad W: In CA, do you need to file for a second “Unemployment Extension” or is it automatic like the first extension?
Has anyone had to go through this before that lives in California. I have already gone through one extension of unemployment benefits, and it is now ending and you I wish to extend it for the second tire? For me, the first extension was automatic, when my first 6 months ended, they automatically sent me a form to extend the benefits when I received my last check. I am wondering if this will be the case again or if I need to “FILE for an Extension”? It is not clear on the website, it’s very vague. If I need to file again, it’s the same form located on the EDD website that you used when you first filed for unemployment? I am worried about doing the wrong thing and losing my benefits.

Looks to me that Cali will notify you by mail with papers to fill out again, or you will receive an automatic extension. I don’t remember a time when UI benefits were extended this long.

You can always call. But not on Fridays
