EDD Notice of Computation Shows $0 Wages - What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I just got my notice of computation from EDD and it's showing $0 total wages. I know for a fact that I worked and earned money during the period they're looking at. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do when I call them? I've got all my pay stubs and W-2s ready, but I'm nervous about how to explain this to them.

Ugh, classic EDD move. 🙄 I've been there, done that. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your docs: pay stubs, W-2s, anything that proves you worked 2. Call EDD (good luck with that lol) 3. Tell them about the $0 wage issue 4. Explain you have proof of your earnings 5. Ask them to review your case 6. Follow up with any extra docs they need Stay calm and be persistent. It's probably just a system glitch or something got lost in the shuffle. You got this! 💪

•This is solid advice. I had to do something similar last year. It took a few calls, but they eventually sorted it out.

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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

•Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

•$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken.

•Can you explain more about how it works? Is it legit?

•Sure! It's an automated system that calls EDD for you. When it gets a real person, it calls your phone and connects you. Totally legit, just saves you the hold time.

This happened to me last month! Don't panic, it's fixable. Just be prepared for a loooong wait time when you call. Bring a book or something 📚

Quick question - did you work out of state at all? Sometimes that can cause issues with wage reporting.

•Nope, all in-state work. But good thinking!

I'm in the same boat, been trying to fix this for weeks. Anyone know if contacting your local rep helps speed things up?

Pro tip: keep a log of every call you make, who you talk to, and what they say. It'll help if you need to escalate later.

Same thing happened to my friend last year - turned out EDD had the wrong SSN on file somehow. When you call, make sure they verify all your personal info first before diving into the wage issue. Also, if you have your employer's EIN number handy, that can help them track down your wage records faster. Don't let them brush you off - you know you worked and have the docs to prove it!
