Have you checked if theres a way to edit your application online? Sometimes you can make small changes without having to go through customer service hell

lol welcome to the wonderful world of california bureaucracy. prepare to spend the next 6 months of ur life on hold 🤡

Just curious, how long ago did you submit your application? Might give us an idea of how backed up the system is rn

Hey OP, just wanted to say hang in there. I know its frustrating but youll get through this. Sending good vibes your way! ❤️

Ugh, the EDD system is such a pain! I had a similar issue with my unemployment claim. Best bet is to call them ASAP and explain the situation. Be prepared to wait on hold for hours tho 🙄

Thanks for the advice! I tried calling but got connected to regular EDD, not paid family leave. Any tips on how to reach the right department?

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds like were back in the stone age, but sometimes old school methods work best with government agencies 📠

Plot twist: what if we all showed up at the EDD office with lawn chairs and snacks? Theyd have to help us then, right? 😂

Hey, 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with EDD? 😅 This stuff is seriously stressful

Ive been dealing with EDD for months now and let me tell you, its a complete clown show 🤡 Good luck getting this sorted out quickly

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online submission. You never know when youll need to prove you tried to fix this. CYA my friend

Serious question: has anyone ever successfully navigated EDD without wanting to pull their hair out? Asking for a friend (its me, Im the friend

Maybe try reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They sometimes have direct lines to EDD and can help push things through faster.

I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call EDD first thing in the morning. Like, right when they open. 2. Have your claim number and all relevant info ready. 3. Explain calmly that there was an error on your application. 4. Ask them to remove the incorrect info about required vacation. 5. Request confirmation that they've made the change. 6. Get a reference number for the call. Don't stress too much. These things happen all the time. Just be patient and persistent!

It sounds like you've got a bit of a challenge on your hands, but don't worry—many people have successfully navigated similar issues with EDD. Start by trying the official online portal to see if you can correct the application details directly. If that doesn't work, calling EDD early in the morning is a good strategy, but be prepared for long wait times. To ensure you connect with the right department, note that Claimyr can be a useful tool. They specialize in directly connecting you to live agents, potentially saving you hours on hold, albeit for a fee. However, it's important to balance this with understanding that government services should ideally be accessible without additional costs. It's also wise to reach out to your local assembly member, as they can sometimes expedite these processes. Document all your interactions thoroughly, including every call and email. While the process may be frustrating, persistence is key, and utilizing a mix of traditional and modern approaches often yields the best results. Good luck!
