EDD Certification Issue: Can't Certify for New Period After Full Month Certification

I found a way to solve EDD certification period issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWpM9zNnyKE

Ugh, the EDD system is such a nightmare! I had a similar issue last year. You need to call them ASAP and explain the situation. They might need to manually adjust your certification dates.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Try logging into your EDD account and check if there are any messages or alerts about your certification. 2. If you can't find any info there, you NEED to call EDD. Be prepared to wait on hold for a long time. 3. When you get through, explain that you certified for the entire month previously and now can't certify for the new period. 4. Ask them to review your account and adjust the certification dates if necessary. 5. Make sure to get a confirmation number or the name of the rep you spoke with. 6. After they fix it, ask them to walk you through certifying for the current period to make sure it works. Good luck! The EDD system is a mess, but persistence pays off.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk, but seriously, sometimes logging out and back in can fix weird glitches on the EDD site

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had flagged my account for a quarterly review or something. Had to verify my identity again. Might be worth asking about that when you call.

Anyone else feel like the EDD is purposely making this difficult so people just give up? 🤔 It's like they don't want us to get the benefits we're entitled to.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main EDD line, try calling your local Assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help escalate your case.

Ugh, I feel your pain. Been dealing with EDD bs for months now. Hang in there, OP! 💪
