How to report wages to EDD? When did you last report?

Hey everyone, I need to report my wages to EDD but I'm not sure about the process. When did you last report your wages? Any tips or advice would be really helpful. I'm kinda new to this whole thing and don't wanna mess it up.

I just reported my wages last week. It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Make sure you have all your pay stubs ready before you start. The EDD website can be a bit slow sometimes, so be patient!

Make sure you report your wages every two weeks. Don't forget to include any overtime or bonuses. And ALWAYS keep copies of everything you submit. Trust me, you'll thank me later if there's ever a discrepancy.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been trying to report my wages for days but keep getting error messages. Anyone else having issues with the online system?

Yep, it's been a nightmare. I finally got through by using this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to your phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 🤦‍♂️

I know it sounds crazy, but after spending hours on hold myself, it was worth every penny. Saved me a ton of time and stress.

100% legit. I was skeptical too, but it got me through to an agent in like 30 minutes. Way better than waiting on hold all day.

Here's a detailed guide on how to report wages to EDD: 1. Log into your UI Online account 2. Click on 'Certify for Benefits' 3. Select the week(s) you're reporting for 4. Enter your gross wages (before taxes) for each week 5. Report any other income or changes in your employment status 6. Double-check all info before submitting 7. Keep a record of your submission Remember, you need to report wages for the week you earned them, not when you got paid. And always round up to the nearest dollar. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

This is super helpful, thank you so much! Quick question - what counts as 'other income'?

Great question! 'Other income' can include things like: - Severance pay - Vacation pay - Holiday pay - Bonuses - Self-employment income - Pension payments Basically, any money you receive that's related to work should be reported. When in doubt, report it!

Don't forget about jury duty pay! Made that mistake once and had to deal with an overpayment issue. Not fun.

Pro tip: Set a reminder on your phone for every two weeks to report wages. It's easy to forget and then you're scrambling at the last minute. Been there, done that! 😅

You can still report them, but you might face a penalty. Call EDD asap and explain the situation. They're usually understanding if it's your first time.

Just a heads up, EDD is implementing a new wage reporting system next month. Supposedly it'll be more user-friendly. Fingers crossed it actually works! 🤞
