EDD reported wrong recovery date (2025?!) - Now facing potential overpayment. Help!

Ugh, EDD and their system errors strike again! 🙄 I had a similar issue last year. Call them ASAP and explain the situation. They can usually fix these date errors pretty quickly if you catch them early. Just be prepared to wait on hold for like... forever.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the crazy wait times. 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

Make sure you document EVERYTHING. Take screenshots, write down who you talk to and when. EDD can be a real pain to deal with, and having a paper trail can save your butt if things get messy.

This happened to my cousin last month. Turns out it was just a glitch in their system. They fixed it pretty quick once he got through to someone. Don't stress too much, OP!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call EDD first thing in the morning (8:00 AM sharp) 2. Have your claim number ready 3. Explain the situation calmly and clearly 4. Ask them to review the date in their system 5. Request a correction if it's indeed wrong 6. Get the name of the rep you speak with 7. Ask for a confirmation number or reference for the call 8. Follow up with a written request through your online account If they give you any trouble, ask to speak with a supervisor. Don't let them brush you off. This is your money and your claim - be persistent! Also, check your original claim paperwork if you still have it. It might help to have that on hand when you call. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to fix THEIR mistakes?? 🤡 the whole system needs an overhaul fr

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes you can submit a correction request through there without having to call. Might be worth a shot before you spend hours on hold.

whatever u do, DON'T ignore this!! my friend did and ended up owing thousands 😱 deal with it now before it snowballs

I went through something similar about 6 months ago! Turned out their system had a bug that was automatically adding years to recovery dates. The rep I spoke with said it was happening to a bunch of people. The good news is they were able to fix it retroactively once I explained the situation. Just make sure to ask them to put a note in your file about the system error so it doesn't happen again. Also, if you have any medical documentation showing your actual recovery timeline, have that ready when you call - it helped speed up my case resolution.
