EDD sent conflicting letters same day - one asking for more info, one denying claim. What do I do?

I found a way to solve EDD conflicting letters issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKa4VSCeo7A

Ugh, classic EDD bureaucracy 🙄 I've been there, friend. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call EDD ASAP. Explain the situation calmly but firmly. 2. Ask if they've received your documents from Aug 12th. 3. Request an expedited review due to financial hardship. 4. Get the name and ID of whoever you speak to. 5. Follow up with a written summary of your call (email or fax). 6. If they insist on an appeal, file it anyway while pushing for a review. 7. Document EVERYTHING. Stay strong, the system is a mess but you'll get through this!

man, the EDD is such a joke. they cant even get their own letters straight. im in the same boat, got denied for no reason and now im drowning in debt. this system is rigged against us i swear

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape and get answers from EDD faster.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD. There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then calls you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it saved me hours of hold time. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

This happened to me last year! Turns out there was a glitch in their system sending out automated denials. Keep pushing and don't give up. If you can get someone on the phone, they might be able to fix it without a formal appeal.

pro tip: fax your documents instead of mailing them. EDD's fax system is way faster and you get confirmation it was received. saved my butt when i was in a similar situation

lmao imagine expecting the government to be competent 🤡 welcome to the circus, we're all clowns here

Hey, former EDD employee here. This sounds like a case of crossed wires between departments. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. File an appeal anyway, just to be safe. You have 30 days from the date on the denial letter. 2. Call the disability claims line (not the general EDD line) and ask for a 'claim review' based on the conflicting letters. 3. If you sent your docs via regular mail, resend them via certified mail or fax. 4. Check your online account daily for updates. 5. If you don't see movement in a week, start escalating. Good luck!
