EDD requesting employer info - not sure which job they mean. How to check for appeals/hearings?

Ugh, been there done that. The EDD system is such a mess 🤦‍♂️ Your best bet is to call them directly and ask. But good luck getting through - it's like trying to win the lottery these days.

I actually found a way to get someone on the phone without the endless waiting. There's this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your EDD account and check your inbox. Sometimes they specify which employer they're asking about in the message. 2. If that doesn't work, call the EDD. Be prepared with info for both jobs just in case. 3. For the appeal/hearing question, ask the rep when you call. They can see if anything's been filed. 4. If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a message through your online account. It might take a few days, but they usually respond. 5. Keep detailed records of all your work hours and earnings. You might need them later. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

lol welcome to unemployment hell 🔥 where the rules are made up and the points don't matter

Have you tried checking your online account? Sometimes they post notices there about what info they need.

Quick question - when you say "sporadic light work," was that self-employment or for another company? It might make a difference in how you report it.

Anyone else feel like we need a whole degree just to navigate the unemployment system? 🎓🤔
