EDD: Need claim denial letter after maxing out benefits, but claim disappeared. Help!

Ugh, been there done that. The EDD system is such a mess rn. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be persistent af to get through.

I found a method that actually works 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/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do to get that denial letter: 1. Log into your UI Online account 2. Go to 'Contact Us' 3. Select 'Benefits' as the category 4. Choose 'Claim or Payment Questions' as the subcategory 5. In the message, request a formal denial letter for your maxed-out benefits 6. Be sure to include your full name, last 4 of SSN, and current mailing address If that doesn't work, you might need to send a written request to your local EDD office. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get a simple letter? 🤡 edd needs to get their act together fr

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your UI Online contact info is up to date.

Idk if this helps, but I was in a similar situation last year. I ended up going to my local EDD office in person. Had to wait for like 2 hours, but I got the letter I needed that same day. Might be worth a shot if online/phone methods don't pan out.
