EDD notice about sick pay received - what to expect when I call?

Hey everyone, I got a notice to call about my payment but I'm not sure what it's about. The notice mentioned something about sick pay received. Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm kinda lost here and don't know what to expect when I call. Any advice?

I found a way to solve EDD sick pay verification issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5JhYo1B-BM

Ugh, I hate when they send those vague notices! 🙄 It could be a few things: 1. They might be checking if you reported your sick pay correctly 2. There could be a discrepancy in the amount of sick pay you received vs what they have on record 3. They might need to adjust your benefits based on the sick pay Best thing to do is call and find out. Be prepared with any sick pay stubs or documentation you have. Good luck!

Thanks for the breakdown! I'll dig up my pay stubs before I call. Fingers crossed it's nothing major 🤞

This is solid advice. I had a similar situation last year and having my docs ready saved me a ton of headache.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? That's steep. Is it really worth it?

I get the skepticism, but for me it was totally worth it. Spent hours trying to get through before. This saved me a day of frustration.

I had a similar notice about sick pay last month. Turns out they just needed to verify the dates I received it. No big deal in the end, but definitely stressful at first. Hope it's the same for you!

That's reassuring to hear. How long did it take to get it sorted out?

About a week after I called. The wait time was brutal tho, like 2 hours on hold 😫

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always have better luck getting through early in the morning. Also, have a pen and paper ready to jot down any info they give you. And don't forget to ask for a reference number for the call!
