EDD cancelled my baby bonding claim without notice - can't access online. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having a major issue with my baby bonding claim. It was cancelled without my knowledge and I can't even access it online to see what's going on. The expiration date isn't until next year, so I'm really confused. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Any advice on how to get this reinstated?

Ugh, that sucks! The EDD system is such a mess. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that was cancelling claims randomly. Keep trying to reach them, and document everything!

Have you checked your mail? Sometimes they send important notices about claim status changes, but they don't always update the online system right away.

This happened to me too! It took forever to get it sorted out. Here's what worked for me: 1. Keep calling every day 2. Send a message through the online portal (even if you can't access your claim) 3. Reach out to your local assembly member's office - they can sometimes expedite things 4. If all else fails, file a new claim and explain the situation Hang in there, it's a frustrating process but you'll get it figured out!

I found a method 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

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team can help escalate issues.
