Have you considered applying for emergency assistance while you wait? Some local charities or churches might be able to help with bills in the meantime.
Try calling 211, they can connect you with local resources. Also check out Salvation Army and Catholic Charities, they often have emergency funds.
Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes works for me!
This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my old address on file even tho I updated it online. Double check everything!
Unpopular opinion: maybe we should just be grateful we have unemployment benefits at all? Some countries don't even have this safety net.
Bruh, just because others have it worse doesn't mean we can't expect better. We pay into this system!
👆 This. We shouldn't settle for a broken system just because it exists.
Plot twist: what if all the 'real' agents quit and now it's just an army of clueless call center workers? 🤔😂
lmao wouldn't even be surprised at this point 💀

Pro tip: ALWAYS appeal. Like 40% of appeals get approved just because EDD doesn't show up to the hearing. Worth a shot!

idk if this helps but when I had an overpayment issue I wrote a hardship letter explaining why I couldn't pay it back. They ended up waiving half of it. Worth a try maybe?
