Can any self employed folks help with EDD question? [View all]

I filed for UI based on my NET, per my accountant, and my payments are pitiful because due to Covid I couldn't do my 2019 taxes til July, so I had to use my 2018 net, (I filed late March when I had to close my business) and in 2018 I had 2 major surgeries and lost lots of working time because I had to stay home and recover from each of them.
Lost a TON of income. I've done 2019 taxes now.

1. So how do I get them to now base my UI on 2019? Is there a place online I can put in new numbers? I can't find it.

2. Most importantly, they say that if I work, I have to put in the amount I made *when I get paid*, and they subtract that from my UI payment. But the amount I get paid would be GROSS income. I have no idea what my net would be until the end of the year...so if they subtract gross from my tiny payment I am screwed...anyone know how to proceed with this?
Thanks for any help!
