Quick question - when you say "sporadic light work," was that self-employment or for another company? It might make a difference in how you report it.
It was for another company, just very few hours. Like 2-3 hours a week for a couple weeks.
Ah gotcha. Yea, you definitely need to report that. EDD gets real picky about unreported work, even if it's just a few hours.
Seriously! I'd take "EDD Bureaucracy 101" if they offered it 😂

Pro tip: if you can get through to someone, ask for a supervisor right away. The regular agents often don't have the authority to actually fix anything.
I'm in the same boat. Been waiting 7 weeks now. My landlord is breathing down my neck and I'm about to lose my apartment. This system is a joke.
lol welcome to the wonderful world of california bureaucracy 🤡 good luck getting a straight answer from anyone there
Hey OP, when you do get through to someone, make sure to get their name and employee ID. It helps if you need to follow up or if theres any discrepancy later. Also, dont be afraid to ask for a supervisor if youre not getting anywhere with the first person you talk to. Stay strong! 💪
Hey OP, just a heads up - sometimes they ask for info from multiple employers, especially if you had more than one job in the past 18 months. Double check all your messages to be sure!
idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and I ended up going to my local EDD office in person. The wait was long, but I got everything sorted in one go. Might be worth a shot if you're really stuck.
This! In-person is underrated. Sometimes you gotta do it old school 👴
