EDD website shows claim disqualified, but rep says it's not - Anyone else experienced this discrepancy?
Hey everyone, I'm having a weird issue with the unemployment website. It says my claim is disqualified, but when I called last week, the rep told me it's not actually disqualified. The website still hasn't updated though. This is messing with my benefits and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

EDD Mess: Accidentally filed PFL instead of SDI after c-section, now facing overpayment notice and no payments. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability claim. I accidentally filed for Paid Family Leave (PFL) after my c-section instead of Disability. I realized my mistake and submitted a disability claim, which got approved. Now my PFL claim is cancelled, but I'm not getting any disability payments. To make matters worse, I got a notice saying I was overpaid during the overlap of PFL and Disability claims, even though I didn't receive any disability payments for that time. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I'm trying to figure out how to get my disability payments started and clear up this overpayment issue. Any advice would be appreciated!

hey OP, just wondering - how long ago did you submit your disability claim? sometimes it takes a while for the payments to start, even after approval.
It's been about 3 weeks since I got the approval notice. Is that normal?
3 weeks is pushing it, but not unheard of. If you don't see anything by the end of this week, definitely call them.
EDD disability check 8 days late - what to do?
My disability check is late and I'm getting worried. It was supposed to come over a week ago but still nothing. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

Sometimes the checks get lost in the mail. It happened to me once. You might want to ask EDD about getting a replacement check issued.
I didn't even think about that possibility. Thanks for the suggestion!
EDD payment issues - need tips on reaching a real person ASAP!

Has anyone had luck with the online contact forms? I've submitted like 5 and haven't heard anything back 😤
LOL good luck with that. I think those forms go straight to the trash 🗑️
I actually got a response once... after 3 months 🙃
Guys, I'm seriously at my wits end here. Been waiting on payments for 2 months now. Any advice on how to survive while waiting for this to get sorted out?
Have you looked into local food banks or rental assistance programs? They might be able to help tide you over
Hang in there, friend. I know it's tough but keep pushing. You'll get through this 💪
Help with EDD recertification form - How to confirm receipt?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to recertify to extend my benefits and I'm feeling a bit lost. Does anyone know how to make sure I'm filling out the form correctly? Also, is there a way to confirm if they've received it? I really need this to go through smoothly.

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you're keeping track of all your job search activities. They might ask for proof during the recertification process. I learned that the hard way 😅
Does anyone know if the recertification requirements have changed recently? I heard a rumor that they're being more strict now, but I can't find any official info.
I recertified last month and it seemed pretty much the same as always. Maybe it depends on your state?
Following this thread. I'm due to recertify next week and now I'm nervous 😰

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot if you're stuck!

Just google '[your area] assembly member'. Most have a 'contact us' form on their website where you can explain your situation. They often have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues.
