EDD claim start date wrong? Nov file showing Jan start - missing payments?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The unemployment system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue where my claim date was off by like 2 months. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get it sorted out.

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a glitch in their system that was showing the wrong start date. I had to file an appeal to get it fixed. It took a while, but I eventually got backpay for the missing months. Don't give up!

Have you checked your inbox on the unemployment website? Sometimes they send messages there about claim issues that don't show up in emails. It's easy to miss.

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

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: • First, double-check all your paperwork. Make sure the date you put on your initial claim matches when you actually became unemployed. • Next, gather any proof you have of your last day of work. Pay stubs, emails, anything. • If you haven't already, file for backpay. There should be an option for this on your online portal. • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online chat. You might need it later. • If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative. They often have connections and can help push things through. • As a last resort, consider filing an appeal. It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get things fixed. Remember, the system is overloaded and mistakes happen. Don't give up! You're entitled to those benefits from when you first became eligible. Good luck!

lmao welcome to unemployment hell. grab a seat, we'll be here a while 🤡

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes the website shows more detailed info than what you get in the mail.

This is why we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system. It's not equipped to handle the volume of claims, especially during times of crisis. We should be writing to our representatives about this!
