EDD Payment Letter Received - When Will I Actually Get Paid?
Hey everyone, I got this letter about my payment but I'm not sure when I'll actually receive the money. I have all the information they sent me, but the letter doesn't specify a date. Anyone know how long it usually takes or who I should contact to find out?

EDD overpayment when switching from UI to SDI - disqualified for 2 weeks, need advice!
I was on unemployment and got hurt, so I told them I couldn't work. They paid me anyway, but when I tried to switch to disability, they said I was disqualified for 2 weeks because of overpayment. Now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to handle the EDD and this overpayment issue?

Pro tip: ALWAYS appeal. Like 40% of appeals get approved just because EDD doesn't show up to the hearing. Worth a shot!
This!!! 👆 Appeals are your friend. EDD counts on people giving up
Got through to EDD but agent couldn't access claim info - anyone else?
I finally got through to someone on the phone about my claim, but it turns out they were just from a call center and couldn't actually access any of my information. They couldn't answer any of my questions! Has anyone else had this problem? I'm so frustrated - I've been trying to get an update on my claim status for weeks.

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.
EDD maternity leave application says I have account but I don't - help!
I'm trying to apply for maternity leave online but the system keeps telling me I already have an account. I know I don't have one! Has anyone else run into this issue? I called them and they knew how to fix it, but then put me on hold forever and hung up on me. So frustrating! Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

EDD extension forms not received in mail after text confirmation - what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my unemployment benefits extension. I got a text saying they received my doctor's info, but I haven't gotten anything in the mail about extending my benefits for every 2 weeks. It's been a while and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

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!
