EDD Underpayment: What to do when they don't pay full amount owed?
Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with EDD. They didn't give me all the payment they owe me. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do?

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just be gratefull for what we get? At least were getting something. Some ppl have nothing

Bruh, we PAID into this system. It's not charity, it's insurance. We deserve to get what we're owed. šÆ

Exactly! And for many of us, this is the difference between paying rent or not. It's not about being grateful, it's about survival.

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative? I've heard some success stories, but idk if it's worth the effort.

I did! It took a few weeks, but their office was actually able to help push my claim through. Definitely worth a shot if you're stuck.

Same here. My rep's office got back to me within 48 hours and had my issue resolved in a week. YMMV tho

I've been dealing with this issue for months now. Here's what I've learned: ā¢ First, double-check your claim details online. Sometimes there are errors that cause underpayment. ā¢ If you can't find any obvious mistakes, you need to speak with an EDD rep. (Easier said than done, I know) ā¢ Keep detailed records of all your communications and payments received. ā¢ If you still can't resolve it, consider filing an appeal. You have 30 days from the date of the decision to do this. ā¢ As a last resort, contacting your local state representative can sometimes help move things along. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! I'll definitely start by checking my claim details online. Do you know where exactly I should look for errors?

Sure thing! Log into your EDD account and go to the 'Claim Summary' page. Check your weekly benefit amount, claim balance, and payment history. Make sure the dates and amounts match what you expect. Also, look for any messages about 'pending' payments or eligibility issues.

This is great advice! I'd also add: take screenshots of everything. EDD's website can be glitchy, and having proof of what you saw can be super helpful later.

I feel your pain, OP. I've been fighting with EDD for 6 months now. They overpaid me, then underpaid me, then said I owe them money... it's a total mess. Hang in there!

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by squirrels šæļø and they're hoarding all our nuts... I mean, money. It's the only explanation that makes sense at this point š

Guys, I think I figured it out. EDD actually stands for 'Eventually, Dude... Dammit!' š¤Æ

Pro tip: if you do manage to get someone on the phone, ask for a tier 2 specialist right away. The first-level reps often can't help with complex issues like underpayment.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. EDD shorted me on my last payment too. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? That's what I'm planning to do, but I hear it's nearly impossible to get through.

Good luck with that! I spent 3 days trying to call and never got through. The system is a joke š¤”

I found a way to get 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 sends the call to your phone when an agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Wait, seriously? $20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The government should do better.

I know it sounds crazy, but after wasting hours trying to get through, it was worth it for me. Saved me a ton of time and stress.

It's legit, I promise. They even have reviews on Trustpilot. But yeah, it sucks we have to pay extra just to get basic service š¤·āāļø
