EDD: Checked wrong box on continued certification form. How to fix?

Ugh, I've been there. It's such a pain when you make a small mistake like that. Have you tried calling the EDD to explain the situation? They might be able to help you correct it.

I found a method to 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do to fix a mistake on your continued certification form: 1. Try to contact EDD immediately. The sooner, the better. 2. Prepare a written statement explaining your mistake in detail. 3. If you can't get through by phone, send a message through your UI Online account. 4. Keep records of all your attempts to contact them. 5. If possible, submit any supporting documents that prove the correct information. 6. Be patient but persistent. It might take time, but they should be able to correct it. Remember, mistakes happen. The important thing is to address it promptly and honestly. Good luck!

lol welcome to the club. EDD's system is a joke. I swear they make it confusing on purpose 🤡

Have you tried checking if there's an option to amend your certification online? Sometimes you can make small corrections without having to call.

Ive been dealing with edd for months now and let me tell you. its a nightmare. good luck getting this fixed quickly

Quick question - how long ago did you submit the form? If it's within 14 days, you might have an easier time getting it corrected.

I had a similar issue a few months ago! Don't panic - it's more common than you think. Here's what worked for me: I sent a message through the UI Online portal explaining exactly what happened and what the correct answer should have been. Include your certification date and which question you answered incorrectly. It took about a week, but they corrected it without any issues. Also, screenshot everything for your records. The key is being proactive and honest about the mistake. They deal with these mix-ups all the time, so they have processes in place to fix them.

Don't stress too much about this! I made the exact same mistake last year and was convinced I'd ruined everything. Here's what I learned: document everything you do to try to fix it - dates you called, messages sent, etc. This creates a paper trail that shows you're trying to resolve it in good faith. Also, if you do get through to someone on the phone, ask for a reference number for your call and the agent's name/ID. That way if you need to call back, you can reference the previous conversation. The system definitely has flaws, but they're usually pretty reasonable about honest mistakes if you're upfront about it. You've got this!

I went through this exact same situation a couple months ago and honestly, it was way less scary than I thought it would be! The messaging system through UI Online is definitely your best bet - I got a response within 5 business days and they fixed it without any hassle. Just make sure to be really specific about which question you answered wrong and what the correct answer should have been. Also include your certification week ending date. I was worried they'd think I was trying to commit fraud or something, but the rep who responded was totally understanding and said these kinds of mix-ups happen all the time. The whole thing was resolved without affecting my payments at all. You caught it quickly which is great - that definitely works in your favor!
