EDD calling to verify 'other income' on my application - what should I expect?
Hey everyone, I just got a call from EDD about my application. They needed to verify some info about other income I'll be receiving. Has anyone else dealt with this? What kind of questions did they ask you? I'm a bit nervous about how this might affect my claim.

Has anyone had experience with reporting income from a side hustle? I started an Etsy shop while unemployed and idk how to handle it
I did some doordash while on unemployment. You gotta report your net earnings (after expenses) each week. It's a pain but necessary
Ugh, sounds complicated. Guess I better start keeping better records 📊
EDD Nightmare: Accidental PFL/SDI overlap, need advice on repayment and new claim submission
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my PFL and SDI benefits. I accidentally got paid for PFL during the same time I was receiving SDI after my C-section and hernia surgery. Now I need to repay the PFL and submit a new claim. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice on how to handle repayment and resubmission? I'm thinking about emailing EDD but not sure what to say. Help a girl out!

Oof, sorry you're dealing with this. Bureaucracy + postpartum recovery is a nasty combo. Sending good vibes your way! ❤️
Thank you! It's definitely not fun juggling all this with a newborn 😅
FMLA extension stuck in limbo for 3+ weeks, no response from EDD. Help!
Has anyone else been waiting forever for their FMLA extension to be processed? I sent in my paperwork through my employer 3 weeks ago for an extension from 3/17 to 5/4, and I haven't heard anything back. I've tried messaging them online but got no response. This is so frustrating! I was paid for my initial claim from 2/26 to 3/16, but now I'm just waiting in limbo. Any advice on how to get through to them?

idk if this helps but I heard they just updated their system last month. might be causing delays for everyone. doesn't make it suck any less tho 😑
Anyone else notice that it seems to go in waves? Like, they'll process a bunch of claims all at once and then nothing for weeks? Maybe we're just in a slow period and they'll catch up soon. Trying to stay optimistic here! 🤞
You might be onto something. My claim was stuck for ages and then suddenly approved out of nowhere. Hang in there, everyone!
Need help getting through to EDD on 415 number - headphone issues making it worse!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with EDD and I need to call them. I've been trying to get through on their phone line (415-413-6102) but no luck so far. Has anyone had any success recently? I'm worried about missing the call when I finally get through because of some headphone problems I'm having. Any advice on how to handle this or alternative ways to contact EDD would be really appreciated!

Quick question - has anyone had luck getting through on a specific day of the week? I've heard Wednesdays are less busy but idk if thats just a myth
In my experience, it's pretty random. I've gotten through on a Monday and then spent all day Tuesday trying with no luck. It's a crapshoot tbh

have you tried faxing your documents? sometimes that works better than online submission
