Interesting and helpful with actual information which I can find. Unlike certain websites run by government agencies.

The upshoot is that if I keep filing forms with correct information then I should be fine.

However, it appears that filing to reopen a claim is either (a) a mystical experience, and the process that can be told to me is not the True Process or (b) so obvious and simple that everybody already knows and why would you need to explain such a thing?

well...based on that and what I read on the EDD page, I went ahead and re-filed *my* claim. It would seem that some people slipped through the cracks and I guess you and I would be among them. I figure it couldn't hurt. The worst that can happen is they say no.

So the process to reopen is essentially the same as to open a claim?
That's not impossible. And yeah, if I do it wrong maybe I'll get a cranky email telling me "Do it THIS way you idiot".

that was pretty much my take on it.
