Continue receiving unemployment benefits?!? Help!?

It's been a year since I worked, and I've been on unemployment since then, in California. I have been through two phases of my unemployment benefits, and then received a notice from the EDD saying my claim had expired and that I had to renew it. I called but couldn't get through, and then went online. After some clicking around, I submitted an entirely new claim to them. I just received a letter saying my claim is invalid because I had to have worked during this past year. Below that, it says "This determination does not affect your claim for extended benefits." I will be calling them first thing tomorrow, but I am nervous. Am I eligible for extended benefits or no? Am I getting cut off???
