SDI benefits: How to get last payment amount for new card when EDD unreachable?

I found a way to solve EDD last payment amount issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVIOpxIf7IA

guys I just had a wild idea. what if we all pool our money together and hire a skywriter to write "EDD HELP US" over their office? Too much? ✈️☁️

Okay, listen up. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to do: 1. First, double-check your online account. Sometimes the info is there but hard to find. Look for a section called "Payment History" or "Claim Details". 2. If that doesn't work, you need to contact EDD directly. Yes, it's a pain, but it's necessary. 3. When you call, have your claim number ready (if you have it). Also, be prepared to verify your identity. 4. Ask specifically for the amount of your last payment. Make it clear you need this for a replacement card. 5. If they can't help over the phone, ask them to mail you a statement. It might take a while, but at least you'll have the info. 6. As a last resort, you can try contacting your local assemblyperson's office. They sometimes have direct lines to EDD. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! Good luck!

I had a similar issue last year. It's frustrating, but you gotta keep trying to reach them. Call early in the morning, like right when they open. That's how I finally got through.

Plot twist: what if we all show up at their office in person? They can't ignore us then! Who's with me? 😤✊

Have you tried reaching out to them on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than their phone lines. Worth a shot! 🐦

This is why I always screenshot EVERYTHING. You never know when you'll need that info again. Lesson learned the hard way, I guess.

Hey OP, when was the last time you actually received a payment? Might help to narrow down the timeframe when youre looking for the info.

Serious question: has anyone ever successfully navigated the EDD system without wanting to pull their hair out? Asking for a friend (the friend is me, I'm losing it) 😅

I found a method to 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Ugh, classic EDD nonsense. I swear they make everything as difficult as possible. Have you tried logging into your online account? Sometimes the info is buried in there somewhere.

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but sometimes that works when nothing else does. 📠

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a message through your online account. Sometimes they respond faster that way. It's not instant, but it's something.

Have you checked your bank statements? If the money was direct deposited, you might be able to find the amount there.

OMG I'm in the exact same boat!!! been trying to get my info for weeks. This system is so broken 😭

Navigating issues with the EDD can be incredibly frustrating given the volume of inquiries they receive. While Claimyr offers a service that may expedite reaching a representative, it's important to weigh the cost against personal convenience. Not everyone may want to spend $20 for this service, and it's crucial to remember that waiting patiently or trying different contact methods (phone, online messages, or social media) can also yield results without additional expense. Always explore multiple avenues to find what works best for your situation. That said, Claimyr has been validated by many users for its effectiveness in reducing wait times, which can be a lifesaver when time is of the essence.

Yall ever wonder if the EDD is just a bunch of hamsters running on wheels? Cause that would explain a lot 🐹🎡
