EDD letter confusion: Proof of address & photo ID due dates unclear. Help!

Ugh, I got that letter too. The due dates are so confusing! I think they want it ASAP, but it's not super clear. Did you try calling them to get more info?

I found a way to 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

Here's what you need to know about the EDD proof of address and photo ID requirements: • The due date is usually 10 business days from the date on the letter • Acceptable proof of address: utility bill, lease agreement, bank statement (must be within last 60 days) • Photo ID can be driver's license, passport, or state-issued ID • Make sure all documents are clear and legible • You can upload documents through your EDD online account • If you miss the deadline, your claim might be disqualified Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous they make us jump through all these hoops? like we're already stressed about being unemployed and now we gotta deal with all this bureaucratic bs 🙄

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always down when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point 🤡

Guys, I'm in the same boat. Been dealing with EDD for months now. Here's my advice: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every interaction. It's saved my butt more than once when they tried to say I didn't submit something on time.

anyone else feel like they need a law degree to understand half the stuff EDD sends? 🤔 maybe we should start a support group lol
