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

I found a way to solve return-to-work date discrepancy issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnRgKnkQE1U

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.

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

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.

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. 💪

lol welcome to the wonderful world of unemployment. where the rules are made up and the dates don't matter 🤡

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 I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes old school methods work best with these outdated systems.

I went through this exact same thing a few months ago! The key is to be super persistent and don't let them brush you off. Here's what worked for me: 1. Get your documentation ready - any texts, emails, or notes about when you actually returned to work 2. When you do get through to someone, ask to speak with a supervisor if the first person can't help 3. File an appeal if they deny your claim - sometimes that's the only way to get a real review 4. Keep certifying for benefits while you're fighting it, even if there's a discrepancy The whole process took me about 6 weeks but I eventually got it sorted and received all my back pay. Don't give up! The system is broken but if you stay on top of it, you can get through this. 💪
