Ugh, the EDD strikes again! 🙄 I swear they're always messing something up. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho, it's like trying to win the lottery these days.

I actually found a way 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

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that messed up the payment calculations. You definitely need to call and get it sorted out ASAP. The longer you wait, the more complicated it gets to fix.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there are notices or explanations for payment changes there. Also, double-check that your claim dates are correct and that you didn't accidentally report any income that could have reduced your benefits.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down all your payment amounts and dates. 2. Check your online account for any messages or status changes. 3. If you can, calculate how much you think you're owed based on your normal payment amount. 4. Call EDD (use that Claimyr thing if you need to, it's worth it) 5. When you talk to someone, be polite but firm. Ask them to explain the discrepancy. 6. If they can't give you a satisfactory answer, ask to speak to a supervisor. 7. Keep calling until you get it resolved. Don't let them brush you off. 8. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, you're entitled to your full benefits. Don't let the system screw you over. Good luck!

lmao welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🤡

Could it be because of the new year? Maybe there's some kind of reset or adjustment that happens in January? Just spitballing here.

Hey OP, any updates? Were you able to get through to someone and figure out what's going on?
