EDD claim shows wrong return-to-work date - How will this affect my benefits?

Ugh, dealing with incorrect info on ur claim is THE WORST. 😫 I had a similar issue last year with my weekly benefit amount being wrong. Definitely call and talk to someone ASAP. The longer u wait, the more of a headache it becomes to fix.

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 you need to know about incorrect return-to-work dates on your claim: • It can affect your benefit payments if the date is earlier than it should be • It might impact your eligibility for certain extensions • If the date is later than it should be, you could potentially receive benefits you're not entitled to When you call, make sure to: 1. Have your claim number ready 2. Explain clearly when your actual return-to-work date should be 3. Ask how this will impact your current and future benefits 4. Request a written confirmation of the change Good luck!

lol good luck getting anyone on the phone. i've been trying for weeks 🤡

Quick question - how did you notice the return-to-work date was wrong? I should probably double-check mine...

I had this exact same problem last month! Here's what I did: 1. Called the EDD (took forever to get through) 2. Explained the situation 3. They updated it on the spot 4. Got a confirmation email the next day The whole process was actually pretty smooth once I got someone on the line. Hang in there!

am i the only 1 who thinks the whole system is broken? 🤔 like, why do we have to jump through so many hoops just to fix a simple error? its ridiculous

Pro tip: Keep a detailed log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what was said. It'll save you a lot of headaches if you need to follow up or if there are any discrepancies later on.

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local assembly member's office for help? I've heard they can sometimes intervene and speed things up with EDD.

I went through this exact same situation a few months ago! My return-to-work date was off by almost 3 weeks, which would have cut my benefits short. Here's what worked for me: I called first thing Monday morning at exactly 8am (they open at 8) and got through after about 45 minutes of redialing. The key is persistence! When I finally got a rep, I had all my documentation ready - my termination letter, any correspondence from my employer, etc. They were able to correct it during the call and I got an updated notice in the mail within a week. The rep told me that incorrect dates are pretty common due to employer reporting errors or system glitches. Don't stress too much about it affecting your benefits as long as you get it fixed quickly. They can adjust any payments retroactively once the correct date is in the system. Good luck! 🤞
