EDD only approved 1 day of disability when I was out for 2 weeks! How to fix?

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling them? It's probably just a clerical error, but getting through to someone can be a nightmare.

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

This happened to me too! Turns out they had entered my return-to-work date wrong. Double-check all the dates on your claim and make sure they match your doctor's note.

The system is so broken. I've been dealing with claim issues for months now. It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible for us to get the benefits we're entitled to. 😤

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your documentation: doctor's notes, work absence records, and any communication you've had with the disability office. 2. Call the disability claims office. Be prepared to wait on hold for a while. When you get through, calmly explain the discrepancy between your actual time off and what was approved. 3. If the phone rep can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor or claims specialist. 4. If you still can't resolve it over the phone, submit a formal appeal in writing. Include copies of all your supporting documents. 5. For your new claim, make sure all dates are clearly stated and match your supporting documentation. 6. Keep detailed records of all your interactions with the office, including dates, times, and names of who you spoke with. Don't give up! It's your money, and you're entitled to it. Good luck!

have you checked your online account? sometimes they update stuff there before sending out notices

I'm in the same boat, buddy. Been trying to sort out my claim for weeks. This whole system is a joke. Good luck!

I went through something similar a few months ago. What really helped me was requesting a "claim reconsideration" through their online portal. You can upload additional documentation there, and it seems to move faster than phone calls. Also, make sure you have your doctor's original note stating the exact dates you were unable to work - sometimes they only process partial information from medical providers. The key is being very specific about the dates and having all your paperwork in order. It took about 3-4 weeks, but I eventually got the full amount I was owed retroactively.
