I found a way to solve EDD benefits suddenly stopped issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAJ40R7Y8yI

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the phone, try faxing them. I know it sounds like stone age tech, but sometimes it works when nothing else does

I've been in the same boat, my friend. Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, messages, and notices. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Reach out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite EDD issues. 4. Check for any identity verification issues. Sometimes benefits stop because they need additional proof of identity. 5. If you reported vacation pay, make sure it was reported correctly. This can sometimes trigger a review of your claim. 6. Keep certifying if you can, even if the system is glitchy. Try accessing it at different times of the day. 7. Consider using one of those paid services to get through on the phone if you're really stuck. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is frustrating for everyone. Hang in there!

Hey, I actually found a way to get through to someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk but seriously, EDD's website is probably running on windows 95 or smthn

The DE 2517-25 notice usually means they need more info to verify your eligibility. The fact that you can't access the form is weird tho. Definitely sounds like a glitch in their system. You might need to go to an EDD office in person to sort this out.

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul. 😤

Classic EDD move 🙄 They love to make things as confusing as possible. My advice? Keep calling and don't give up. It took me a week of non-stop calling to finally get through to someone who could help.

Hey, former EDD employee here. The DE 2517-25 notice is usually sent when there's a question about your eligibility. The fact that you can't access the form online is concerning though. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Keep trying to call. I know it's frustrating, but it's often the fastest way to resolve issues. 2. Send a message through UI Online if you can. Sometimes you'll get a faster response that way. 3. Double-check that all your reported income (including the vacation pay) was entered correctly. 4. If you can't get through, consider contacting your state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 5. As a last resort, you might need to visit an EDD office in person. Good luck! The system can be a pain, but hang in there.

I hate to say it, but you might be in for a long haul. When my benefits stopped last year, it took 3 months to sort out. Start looking for any temp work or gigs you can find to tide you over. And def follow up on that vacation pay thing - that might be what triggered the hold.

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue last month when I reported some part-time work. It's like their system freaks out anytime there's a change. Have you tried reaching out through their online messaging system?

Hang in there, OP! I know it feels hopeless, but don't give up. I was in your shoes a few months ago and eventually got it sorted. Sending good vibes your way! ❤️

Oof, sounds rough buddy. Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might work better than actually calling them 🐐🔮

Hello, OP! It sounds like you're experiencing a common issue with the EDD system when there are changes to your employment or income. The notice DE 2517-25 typically indicates a need for additional information to confirm your eligibility. Unfortunately, this can sometimes lead to delays in benefit processing if the system doesn't recognize input correctly. Claimyr can be a tool to help you get through EDD’s busy phone lines, although it comes with a fee. While some users have found it helpful, others feel it's unfair to pay additional charges for access to public services. As an alternative, you could attempt to reach out to your local representative for assistance with EDD issues. Additionally, documenting your interactions with EDD and trying different times to access their services might eventually yield results. In case of persistent issues, visiting an EDD office in person could also help resolve the problem. Stay patient and persistent; no doubt the system's inefficiencies can be frustrating, but you're not in this alone. Good luck!

I'm dealing with something similar right now! My benefits got suspended last week after I reported some freelance income, and I'm also missing the usual certification form. The whole system seems to glitch whenever there's any kind of income change. One thing that helped me was checking if there are any pending "to-do" items in your UI Online account - sometimes they hide important forms or requests in there. Also, try logging in at different times of day - I've noticed the site works better early morning or late at night when there's less traffic. For the phone calls, I've been using the trick where you call right at 8:00 AM sharp and immediately press the prompts to get to a human (1-2-1 I think?). Still takes forever but seems to work better than calling later in the day. Hope this helps and you get it sorted soon! The stress of not knowing when benefits will resume is the worst part. 😓
