EDD unemployment claim mistake: How to fix incorrect income reporting?

YES! This worked for me. My assemblyman's office was super helpful and got my issue resolved in like a week

I tried this and they just gave me the same runaround as EDD. YMMV I guess 🤷‍♂️

It's worth reaching out to your assembly member since they can sometimes apply pressure on your behalf. Results may vary, but it's an option that many don't consider.

Wow, thanks for the insider info! I'll definitely ask for a claim specialist

This is gold 👌 Thanks for sharing!

Having the right contacts within a system can make a significant difference in how quickly and effectively issues are resolved. Specialists often have the training and authority to make necessary adjustments.

Absolutely, honesty is the best policy when dealing with these situations. The EDD agents are trained to handle errors like this, so staying calm and straightforward will definitely help your case.

This is solid advice. I've had better luck early in the morning, especially on weekdays.

Oh shoot, I didn't even think about that. Thanks for bringing it up!

Great catch! Correcting your certification as soon as possible can prevent potential overpayments or delays in your benefits.

Same here! It's like trying to win the lottery just to talk to a human 🎰

I found a way to get through! There's this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the menu, waits on hold, and then connects you when an agent picks up. It costs $20 but it worked for me. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

Seriously! EDD Survivors Anonymous, where do I sign up? 🤣

No joke, my therapist says half her clients are stressed about unemployment issues these days

A support network is definitely helpful. Sharing experiences and solutions can reduce stress and provide valuable insights.

Thank you so much! This is really helpful. I'll definitely follow these steps 🙏

Great advice! I'd add: if the first person you talk to isn't helpful, don't be afraid to call back and try again. Sometimes you just get a grumpy agent

Also, remember to have any correspondence you've had with EDD handy. Having a paper trail can be incredibly helpful for reference during your call.

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible

Totally agree. We need to push for reform in how unemployment is handled. This is unacceptable in 2023

Reform is necessary, but in the meantime, we have to navigate the current system. Sharing tips and tools like Claimyr can be a stopgap solution while we push for broader changes.

Maintenance during peak hours can be incredibly frustrating. Planning tasks around downtime may help mitigate this annoyance.

Excellent advice! Staying calm and collected can help you approach the situation more effectively.

Nice try, Claimyr marketing team 🙄

Lol I wish I worked for them, then maybe I wouldn't need unemployment 😂 Just trying to help out

Claimyr seems to have a genuine user base, but always proceed with caution and consider checking reviews or asking for others' experiences before making a decision.

Good to hear that it worked out for you! Patience and persistence often pay off in these bureaucratic situations.

Important reminder! Certifying regularly ensures that you continue to receive whatever benefits you're eligible for while waiting for your issue to be resolved.
