Help with EDD disability overpayment - how to process it?

Ugh, overpayments are the worst! I had to deal with one last year. When did you first notice it? For me, it took forever to even realize there was a problem.

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to know about disability overpayments: • First, don't panic. It's a common issue and there are ways to resolve it. • Contact the disability office ASAP. The sooner you address it, the better. • Request a waiver if you believe the overpayment wasn't your fault. • If you can't pay it all back at once, ask about a repayment plan. • Keep detailed records of all communications and payments. • Consider getting an advocate to help you navigate the process. Remember, you have rights. Don't let them bully you into a solution that doesn't work for your situation.

lol good luck getting anyone on the phone. i've been trying for WEEKS 😭

Have you considered appealing the overpayment? Sometimes they make mistakes in their calculations. It's worth a shot!

This whole system is broken af. Why do WE have to jump through hoops when THEY mess up? 🤬

Anyone else notice how they're super quick to take money back but slow af when they owe us? 🤔

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every penny. It'll save your butt if things get messy.

Hang in there, OP! We're all in the same boat. This too shall pass... eventually 😅
