SDI benefits suddenly reduced yesterday - no EDD notice. Help!
Hey everyone, I just noticed my SDI benefits got reduced yesterday and I have no idea why. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure if it's because of changes in my income or work status. I haven't received any letters or notices from EDD about changes to my benefits recently. Any advice on what I should do or who I should contact to find out what's going on?

EDD keeps calling about my SDI forms - what should I do?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my state disability forms. I sent them in a while ago but I'm not sure if they got received. Now I keep getting calls from the department but I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to handle it?

Have you tried faxing your forms? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it works better than mail or online submission.
EDD claim start date wrong? Nov file showing Jan start - missing payments?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my unemployment claim. I filed back in November, but when I check the website, it's showing January as the start date. I'm really confused about what dates they're actually paying me for. Am I only getting paid from January 3rd to January 22nd, or are they going all the way back to November when I first filed? Has anyone else dealt with something like this? I'm worried I might be missing out on payments I should be getting.

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes the website shows more detailed info than what you get in the mail.
This is why we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system. It's not equipped to handle the volume of claims, especially during times of crisis. We should be writing to our representatives about this!
Preach! 馃檶 The whole system is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point.
Yeah but good luck getting politicians to care about fixing unemployment when they've never had to rely on it 馃檮

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes that's the only way to get through to these government agencies.
Lmao faxing in 2023? What's next, sending a telegram? 馃槀
Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it! Sometimes the old ways work best with these outdated systems.
EDD using wrong income for SDI calculation - only $64/week?!
Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my disability payments. They're only giving me $64 a week, which seems way too low. When I checked, it looks like they're saying I only made $1,180 last year, which is totally wrong. I think they might be using just one check from 2023 instead of my full income for 2024. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get this fixed?

Pro tip: Keep a detailed log of all your communications with EDD. Dates, times, who you spoke to, what was said. It'll save you a ton of headaches if you need to dispute anything later.

have you tried turning it off and on again? 馃ぃ jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out and back into your EDD account can refresh things and show updated info.
