EDD: How to fix wrong back-to-work date on claim?

Ugh, been there done that. It's a pain in the butt to fix, but you gotta do it ASAP. Call the EDD and explain the situation. Be prepared to wait on hold for like 3 hours tho 🙄

I found a way to actually 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/DOLxZQb92wM

Whatever you do, don't just leave it. I made that mistake and ended up owing money back 😭 Definitely get it fixed asap!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Try calling the EDD at 1-800-300-5616 2. Be ready with your claim number and correct back-to-work date 3. If you can't get through on the phone, you can try sending a message through UI Online 4. Keep a record of all your attempts to contact them 5. If all else fails, consider reaching out to your local assemblymember's office. They can sometimes help push things through Remember, the sooner you fix this, the less likely you are to have issues with your benefits. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to fix a simple mistake? the system is broken af 🤡

Quick question - how far off is your back-to-work date? If it's just a day or two, it might not be a huge deal. But if it's weeks or months, definitely get it fixed

Have you tried faxing them? Sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur systems lol

idk if this helps but i had a similar issue last year. ended up having to go to the edd office in person to get it sorted. took forever but at least i got it fixed
