Dont forget to factor in taxes! Your part-time job will withhold taxes, but unemployment benefits often dont. Might wanna set some $$ aside so you dont get hit with a big bill come tax time.
Has anyone had luck getting through to EDD lately? I've been trying to ask about partial benefits but can never reach a human 😫
It took about 45 minutes for me, but I've heard others get through faster. Way better than spending all day on hold!
lol welcome to the club 🤡 been waiting on my payment for a month now. this whole system is a joke
Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on Facebook can get a faster response than calling.
I tried that last month. Waited 4 hours only to be told I needed to call the main line anyway. Total waste of time 😑
PRO TIP: If you can prove the overpayment wasn't your fault, you can request a waiver. Google 'EDD overpayment waiver' for the form
Oh wow, I didn't know about this! Definitely gonna look into it, thanks!
Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.
I didn't even know that was an option! How do I find my assembly member?
Just google '[your city] assembly member' and you should find their contact info. Send them an email explaining your situation. They usually have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues.
Ive been dealing with edd for 6 months now. its a nightmare. hope you get it sorted out faster than me

Has anyone had luck with the online portal? I've been trying to avoid calling if I can help it.

•LOL good luck with that. The online system is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine 🙄
