Legal Question in Employment Law in California
i received a letter dated 7/23/10 stating that i have an invalid claim (for 7/4/10) under section 1277 (UI-A). it states that because i haven't worked from 5/17/09 - 5/17/10 the claim i turned in (7/4 - 7/17?) isn't valid. i was terminated on 5/1/09 and have been receiving benefits since .. until 7/3/10. the statement in this letter, "this determination does not afftect your claim for extended benefits", is NOT checked off. also, it says that i may file an appeal on the enclosed form (DE10000M), but no form was included. it also states that my claim "will be invalid under section 1277 until 10/2010 @ which time this test will no longer apply". what does all this mean? thank you for your time.

It means your claim is denied. If you think it shouldn't be denied, go to the EDD office and file an appeal and tell your story to the judge at the hearing.
