Ugh, classic EDD mix-up. 🙄 I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried faxing both forms? Sometimes that works better than waiting for them to get their act together.

I feel your pain, OP. The EDD system is a total mess rn. Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

Listen up, I've been through this rodeo before and I've got some tips for ya: 1. Document everything. Every call, every letter, every form you submit. Trust me, you'll need it. 2. Keep calling. I know it sucks, but persistence is key with these clowns. 3. Check your online account daily for updates or new messages. 4. If you can, get a fax machine or use an online fax service. Sometimes old school works best with the EDD. 5. Don't be afraid to escalate. Ask for a supervisor if you're not getting anywhere. 6. Consider reaching out to your local rep or senator's office. They can sometimes work miracles. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but you'll get through it!

Yo, 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.

have u tried goin to the edd office in person? sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get stuff done w/ these ppl

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's not fit for purpose anymore. We're all out here struggling while they can't even get their form numbers straight. 🤦‍♂️

Hey OP, sorry youre dealing with this. Quick question - when you log into your EDD account online, does it show any pending issues or required actions? Sometimes the website has more up-to-date info than what they send in the mail.

not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you filed everything correctly on your end? I thought EDD was messing up my claim, turns out I had put the wrong date on one of my forms 🤦‍♂️ felt like such a clown
