EDD Return to Work Process - What steps do I need to take?

I found a way to solve returning to work after unemployment, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-iVmLS3vcY

I just went through this last month! Here's what you need to do: • First, make sure you report your return to work date on your next certification • Stop claiming benefits as soon as you start working full-time • If you're working part-time, you may still be eligible for partial benefits - report all earnings • Update your contact info with EDD if it's changed • Keep your account active for a few months in case you need to reopen your claim Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Congrats on getting back to work! 🎉 Just remember to certify for your last week of unemployment before you start your new job. And don't forget to report any severance pay if you got any - that can affect your benefits.

ugh good luck dealing with edd 🙄 took me forever to get everything sorted when i went back to work. their system is such a mess

Hey, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone at EDD. 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 keep good records of everything! When you started work, your last day of unemployment, any communications with EDD. You never know when you might need that info later.

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us fail? like they make it so complicated on purpose smh

Pro tip: set up direct deposit if you haven't already. Makes things way smoother when you're transitioning off benefits.

Dont forget to factor in taxes! EDD doesn't always withhold enough and you don't want a nasty surprise come tax season 😱

idk if this helps but when i went back to work i had issues with my final payment. ended up having to appeal. if ur last week is partial make sure they calculate it right!
