Need help recertifying EDD benefits - how to reach the right rep?

Hey everyone, I'm really stressed out about recertifying for my benefits. I need to extend them but I'm not sure how to go about it. Does anyone know how to get in touch with the right person who can help me fill out the form correctly and make sure it was received? This whole process is giving me anxiety and I could use some guidance.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they're hoping we'll just stop trying to get the benefits we're entitled to.

Preach! 🙌 It's a total clown show. But we gotta keep fighting for what's ours!

Conspiracy theory: they make it hard on purpose so people just give up and they save money 🤡

Hey OP, just wanted to say hang in there. We're all in the same boat, and it sucks, but you'll get through this. Don't let the stress get to you too much. 💪

Need help with EDD family pay benefits - what to expect when calling?

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with some family pay benefit issues and I need to call EDD. Has anyone had any experience with this recently? What should I expect when I get through to them? Any tips on how to handle the call or what information I should have ready?

Quick tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive than the phone lines. Worth a shot!

EDD still sending collection notices after overpayment reimbursed 3 months ago - Help!

I'm so frustrated with EDD right now. I paid back an overpayment 3 months ago, but they keep sending me letters saying I didn't pay and threatening legal action. I have proof from my bank and payment receipts that I paid everything on February 15th. How do I get them to update their records and stop harassing me? Has anyone else dealt with this?

This is why I always tell people to document EVERYTHING when dealing with government agencies. Take screenshots, save emails, record calls (if legal in your state). You never know when you'll need to prove your case.

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my new debit card. I recently moved and I'm not sure if the bank is sending it to my old address or my new one. It's been a while and I still haven't received it. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on what I should do?

I hadn't thought of that! I'll see if I can get in touch with the new tenants and ask them to check. Thanks for the idea!

Banks are the worst 🙄 Always making simple things complicated. Hope you get this sorted out soon, OP!

EDD SDI nightmare: 4 weeks no response, identity verification issues, can't reach Spanish line. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having a really tough time with my disability claim. I sent in my doctor's form about 4 weeks ago, but I haven't heard anything back. I'm also having trouble verifying my identity. I tried calling the Spanish line, but my call got disconnected. I'm currently disabled with no income coming in. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get through to someone?

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's so frustrating. Hang in there!

Have you considered applying for emergency cash aid while you wait for your disability to come through? Might help tide you over.

0 coins

I didn't even know that was an option. Where would I apply for that?

Check with your county's social services office. They usually handle those kinds of programs.
