DfE demanding repayment of paternity leave benefits - Help!
I'm so confused right now. I took paternity leave last year and got paid 70% of my salary for 8 weeks by the Department of Education. Now they're asking me to give all that money back! I thought I was eligible for this benefit. Am I missing something here? Has anyone else dealt with this kind of overpayment issue?

SDI benefits issue after military service - need advice for agent call
Hey everyone, I need some advice. I'm trying to get my SDI benefits sorted out but I'm hitting a wall. I've been paying into SDI before my military service, but now they're giving me trouble. Anyone dealt with this before? What should I say when I finally get through to an agent? I've got all my documents ready, but I'm not sure how to approach this conversation.

Ive been in the same boat. its frustrating af. Make sure you document EVERYTHING. Every call, every person you talk to. You might need it if you have to appeal.
Have you checked their website? Sometimes you can upload documents directly there instead of waiting on the phone.
I tried, but the system kept giving me an error. That's why I need to talk to someone directly.
Ugh, classic SDI. Their website is always buggy. Guess you're stuck with the phone then. Good luck!
EDD account locked - Forgot password AND security question. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having a major issue with my EDD account. I forgot my password and can't reset it because I don't remember my security question answer. Every time I try to reset, it just keeps looping me back to the security question. I've tried calling EDD multiple times but can't get through. Anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to break this cycle and actually get my account reset?

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to access our own accounts? 🤡 edd needs to get their act together fr
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or somethin
To be fair, they're dealing with millions of accounts and trying to prevent fraud. But yeah, it could definitely be more user-friendly.
EDD login error: CA license already linked to active user - Help!

Quick question - when did you submit your application? That might help us give you a better idea of when to expect your next payment.
