EDD Recomputation Nightmare: Updating for the 3rd Time, Need Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I had to do mine twice last year. It's such a headache. When did you first file your claim? That might make a difference in how they handle it.

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

Here's what I've learned about recomputations after going through it twice: 1. Double-check all your income info before submitting. Any discrepancies can trigger another recomputation. 2. If you worked for multiple employers, make sure you have accurate info from all of them. 3. Keep all your pay stubs and W-2s handy. You might need to fax or upload them. 4. Be patient. Sometimes the system updates slowly, and it might look like you need another recomputation when it's just processing. 5. If you can, try to talk to a rep directly. They can sometimes spot issues that aren't clear in the online system. Hope this helps! Hang in there, the system is frustrating but you'll get through it.

am i the only 1 who thinks this whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 like, why make it so complicated unless they WANT us to fail

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard sometimes they can help push things through faster.

Pro tip: if you're having trouble with recomputations, try filing for a formal appeal. Sometimes that gets you in front of a judge who can actually fix things.

lol welcome to the club buddy. ive been in this recomputation hell for like 5 months now. at this point im just lauging to keep from crying 😂😭

Guys, I think I figured out a hack. If you file your recomputation exactly at midnight on a Tuesday, it seems to go through faster. Worked for me and two of my friends. Worth a shot!

Anyone else notice that the recomputation issues got worse after that system "upgrade" last month? Feels like we're all beta testers for their buggy software 🙄
