EDD asking for future proof of employment? Help!

I got this letter from EDD asking me to send a picture of my ID and proof of employment pay for a whole year in the future! From April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024. That doesn't make any sense. Has anyone else gotten something like this? What should I do?

Wow, that's weird. Sounds like they messed up the dates. You should definitely call them to clarify. Make sure you have your ID and recent pay stubs ready when you do. Good luck dealing with the EDD maze! 🙄

I had a similar issue last month. Here's what I did: 1. Take a clear photo of your ID 2. Gather your most recent pay stubs (last 3 months should be fine) 3. Write a brief letter explaining the date error in their request 4. Send it all together via certified mail Then, keep calling until you get through. It took me about a week of trying, but I finally got it sorted. Hang in there!

Not really. Once I explained the situation, they were pretty helpful. Just be patient and polite, even if you're frustrated. Good luck!

Classic EDD 🤡 show. They're probably time travelers now, asking for future proof of employment. Next they'll want your great-grandkids' social security numbers 🙄

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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. After weeks of trying, I was desperate. Worth every penny to finally get my issue resolved.

How long did you have to wait once they started calling?

It took about 2 hours, but I just went about my day and got a call when they reached someone. Way better than being stuck on hold myself.

This happened to me too! I think its a glitch in their system. I called and they fixed it right away. Don't stress too much, just keep trying to get through on the phone.

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold last week. Also, be super nice to the person who answers - they deal with angry people all day and are more likely to help if you're pleasant.
