EDD Return-to-Work Date Discrepancy - Will This Affect My Benefits?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my return-to-work date. There's a discrepancy between what I told them and what's showing up in the system. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm worried it might affect my benefits or claim status. Any advice on how to handle this?

Ugh, I've been there. It's such a pain when the dates don't match up. Have you tried calling them to explain the situation? Sometimes talking to a real person can help sort things out.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

I get it, but think about how much time you waste on hold. For me, it was worth every penny.

Make sure you document EVERYTHING. Dates, times, who you talked to. The system is so broken, you gotta cover your own ass.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the correct info is there even if the person you talked to got it wrong.

Good idea, I'll double-check that. Thanks!

Oof, return-to-work date issues are the WORST. I had this problem last year and it took forever to fix. Here's what I learned: • Always get everything in writing. If you talk to someone on the phone, ask them to send you an email confirmation. • Keep a log of all your communications with the unemployment office. • If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes they're more responsive there. • Consider contacting your local representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. • Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence pays off. Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but you'll get it sorted out eventually. 💪

Anyone else notice how these issues always seem to happen right when you're about to go back to work? It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible smh

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes old school methods work best with these outdated systems.

Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I'll give it a shot if nothing else works.
