EDD mistakenly reported me as employed, benefits stopped for 2 weeks. Help!

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling the EDD? It's probably the fastest way to get it sorted 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down dates, times, and names of reps you've talked to. 2. Check your online account for any status changes or messages. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try emailing them through the portal. 4. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member's office. They can often help push things through. 5. Be persistent! Don't give up. Good luck, OP! The system is a mess, but you'll get it sorted out eventually.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there

This happened to me last month! Turns out there was a glitch in their system that marked a bunch of people as employed. Took me 3 weeks to get it fixed. Hang in there!

classic edd 🙄 they need to get there act together

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes they respond faster there.

man, i feel for you. been in the same boat. its like trying to nail jello to a wall dealing with these guys sometimes

Friendly reminder to everyone: ALWAYS screenshot or save copies of your claim history and any correspondence. It's saved my butt more than once!
