EDD claim dates wrong - how to fix?
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my unemployment claim. The dates on my claim are wrong and I'm not sure how to fix it. Has anyone else dealt with this before? Any advice on how to get it corrected?

Ugh, I've been there. 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 things fixed.

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

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does. I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. Got through in about 2 hours.

$20 just to make a phone call? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 🤮

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Spent way more than $20 worth of time trying to call myself.

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes you can submit a request to fix dates there without calling.

Wrong dates can mess up your whole claim. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Double-check all the info on your UI Online account 2. If you can't fix it there, you NEED to call EDD 3. Be prepared with all your documents showing the correct dates 4. If the rep says they can't help, ask to speak to a tier 2 specialist 5. Keep a record of all your calls and who you spoke to It's a pain, but don't give up. Wrong dates can affect your benefits big time.

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to fix my dates for 3 weeks now. This whole system is a joke.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through with EDD.

AuthorI hadn't thought of that. How do I find my assembly member?

Just google '[your city] assembly member'. They usually have a 'contact us' form for constituents needing help with state agencies.

I went through this exact same issue last month! What worked for me was logging into UI Online and looking for the "Report Issue" or "Contact EDD" section. There's usually a form where you can explain the date discrepancy and attach supporting documents like your separation notice or pay stubs. It took about 10 business days, but they eventually corrected my dates without me having to call. Worth trying before you spend hours on hold!
