EDD Payment Delayed 3+ Weeks After In-Person Form Submission - Need Advice for Follow-Up Call

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my payment being delayed. It's been over 3 weeks since I submitted my forms in person and I still haven't received anything. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm planning to call them tomorrow to get an update. Any advice on what I should ask or how to approach this?

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster. Worth a shot!

Just google your area + state representative. Most have a 'contact us' form on their website where you can explain your situation. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these kinds of issues.

Awesome, thanks! I'll give that a try if I don't get anywhere with my call tomorrow.

EDD Claim Denied, Appeal Filed Months Ago, No Payments Since February - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a tough spot. My unemployment claim was denied, so I filed an appeal through the mail like they told me to. It's been months now and I haven't heard anything back. The worst part is, I haven't received any payments since February. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on what I should do next? I'm getting really worried about my finances.

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's clearly not designed to handle crises or even normal fluctuations in the job market. We're all suffering because of outdated technology and understaffed agencies. ๐Ÿคฌ

Preach! ๐Ÿ™Œ The whole thing needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Totally agree. But good luck getting politicians to care about fixing it until the next crisis hits ๐Ÿ™„

Hey OP, just wondering - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you mailed in your appeal? Might be worth following up if you didn't.

No, I didn't get any confirmation. That's part of why I'm so worried. I'll try to follow up somehow. Thanks for bringing that up!

Need help modifying SDI claim date due to extension - can't reach anyone!

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my SDI claim. I need to modify the claim date due to an extension, but I can't seem to get through to anyone on the phone. I've been trying for days and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get in touch with someone who can help?

Quick question - when did you initially file your claim? There might be a waiting period before you can request modifications.

0 coins

I filed about 2 months ago. The extension just came through last week, that's why I need to modify it now.

0 coins

Ah gotcha. Yeah, you should definitely be able to modify it then. Keep pushing!

Pro tip: if u get through to ANY department, ask them to transfer u to the right one. Sometimes its easier to get through that way

PFL Benefits: Received employer payment while on leave. How to report to EDD?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I received payment from my employer while I was on Paid Family Leave Benefits. I want to make sure I report this correctly so I don't end up being overpaid. Has anyone dealt with this before? I got some notice from EDD, but it's not about this specific situation. Any advice on how to handle this?

Plot twist: what if you donate the extra money to charity? ๐Ÿค” Then technically you didn't benefit from it, right? (I'm joking, don't actually do this without consulting a professional

0 coins

LOL imagine trying to explain that to an EDD rep ๐Ÿคฃ

EDD be like: "We don't do that here" ๐Ÿคก

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the whole benefits system? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with these archaic processes smh

Preach! ๐Ÿ™Œ It's like they're stuck in the stone age or something

For real. My grandma could design a better system, and she still uses a flip phone ๐Ÿ˜‚

PFL claim vanished after first payment - what to do?

Has anyone else had their PFL claim disappear from the system? I just got my first payment and when I checked my status, it's like my claim never existed. This is so frustrating! What should I do now?

Have you tried logging out and logging back in? Sometimes that fixes weird glitches in the system.

0 coins

Yeah, I tried that a few times. Even cleared my browser cache. No luck ๐Ÿ˜•

Ugh, I feel for you. I'm in the same boat but with disability. These government systems are held together with duct tape and prayers I swear
