EDD input wrong return-to-work date, affecting benefits - How to fix?

Ugh, classic EDD mess-up. I had a similar issue last year. Here's what worked for me: 1. Call EDD first thing in the morning (like 8:01 AM) 2. Have all your docs ready (application, physician form, etc.) 3. Be super polite but firm with the rep 4. Ask them to notate your account 5. Follow up with an email for a paper trail Good luck! The system is a nightmare, but persistence pays off.

omg i feel your pain. EDD is such a clusterfck. they messed up my claim 3 times before getting it right. hang in there!

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

Pro tip: 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

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes it works when nothing else does lmao

I'm in the same boat, different issue. Been trying to get through for 3 weeks. This whole system needs an overhaul.

Quick question - did you certify for any weeks with the incorrect return date? If so, you might need to ask them about retroactively adjusting those weeks too.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to an EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face works better than phone/online.

edd more like STD amirite? 🤡 (srsly tho good luck OP, the struggle is real
