EDD SDI: Wrong return-to-work date on certification, payments not processing - What to do?

I found a way to solve disability certification date error, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtPepQZE838

I had the exact same problem last year! Don't panic, it's fixable. You'll need to speak to someone to get it sorted out though. As for the payments, in my experience, you'll need to keep certifying. They don't just automatically send money (I wish lol).

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. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

I swear, dealing with EDD is like playing a game where the rules keep changing and no one tells you. Hang in there, OP. We're all in this hellscape together. 🫠

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Put the wrong date and now I'm stuck in EDD limbo. This system is such a cluster****. Good luck, OP. Let us know if you figure it out!

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is a nightmare to navigate. I've had similar issues before. Your best bet is to call them ASAP and explain the situation. They should be able to correct it for you.

Have you tried using the online portal to correct the information? Sometimes you can make changes there without having to call.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump thru all these hoops just to fix a simple mistake?? the system is broken af 🤬

have u tried reaching out to ur local assembly members office? they can sometimes help speed things up w/ EDD

Listen up, I've been through the EDD wringer and here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic. Mistakes happen and they can be fixed. 2. Document everything. Write down the correct dates, what you entered by mistake, and any other relevant info. 3. Call EDD first thing in the morning. Be prepared to wait on hold for hours. 4. When you get through, explain the situation clearly and ask them to correct the date in their system. 5. Ask about your future payments. Confirm whether you need to keep certifying or if they'll be automatic. 6. Get the name of the person you speak to and a reference number for the call. 7. Follow up with a written request (email or mail) summarizing what was discussed and agreed upon. Remember, persistence is key with EDD. Don't give up if you don't get through on the first try. And always, always keep certifying unless explicitly told otherwise by an EDD rep. Good luck!

It might help to connect with local support groups or Facebook communities that discuss EDD issues. They might have additional tips or updates on less crowded times to call.

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling some of the other edd numbers (like the employer line or tech support). sometimes they can help or at least transfer u to the right person
