I found a way to solve EDD unemployment claim mistake correction, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63EY9LphrLQ

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local assembly member for help with EDD issues? I've heard they can sometimes expedite things.

I work in HR and deal with EDD stuff all the time. Here's a pro tip: ask for a 'claim specialist' when you call. They're usually more knowledgeable and can handle complex issues better than the regular agents.

Don't sweat it, mistakes happen. Just be honest with them and explain it was an accident. They deal with this stuff all the time. Make sure you have your employment details handy when you call.

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You'll have a better chance of getting through before the lines get jammed up.

Quick question - did you already certify for any weeks with the incorrect info? If so, make sure to mention that when you call. They might need to adjust those weeks too.

Ugh, the EDD system is such a nightmare. Good luck getting through to anyone. I've been trying for weeks 😫

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with EDD? 😅 This stuff is stressful!

I've been in the same boat, my friend. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call EDD as soon as possible. The sooner you correct the mistake, the better. 2. Have all your employment info ready - dates, employer name, income amounts, etc. 3. Explain calmly that you made an honest mistake when filling out the form. 4. Ask them what steps you need to take to correct the information. 5. Take notes during the call so you don't forget anything important. 6. If they ask you to submit any additional documents, do it right away. Remember, they're used to dealing with these issues. Just be polite and cooperative, and you should be fine. Good luck!

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic help? The system is clearly not designed for actual humans to use 🤦‍♂️

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always 'down for maintenance' at the most inconvenient times? It's like they're trolling us at this point 🤡

Remember to breathe, OP. This stuff is stressful but you'll get through it. We're all in this leaky boat together 🚣‍♀️

Guys, I cannot recommend the Claimyr service enough for getting through to EDD. Saved me so much time and headache. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

lol good luck. EDD is a joke. I've been waiting 3 months for them to fix a 'simple mistake' on my claim. The whole system is broken af

I made a similar mistake on my claim last year. Took about 3 weeks to get it sorted out, but it all worked out in the end. Hang in there!

Hey OP, don't forget to certify for your weeks while you're waiting to get this sorted out. You don't want to miss out on benefits you're eligible for!

I went through something similar a few months ago! The key is to call early (like 8:01 AM sharp) and be prepared with all your documents. When you get through, explain that you made an honest error and want to correct it ASAP. They'll likely put a note on your account and may ask you to submit a corrected form. The whole process took about 2-3 weeks for me, but it got resolved without any penalties since I was proactive about fixing it. Don't stress too much - they deal with these kinds of mistakes constantly!

I had a similar experience with EDD income reporting errors. The most important thing is to call them ASAP - don't wait! When I called, I was honest about the mistake and they actually appreciated that I was being proactive about correcting it. Make sure you have your Social Security number, claim number, and all employment details ready before you call. The agent walked me through exactly what needed to be updated and put a note on my file. It took about 10 days to see the correction reflected in my account, but there were no penalties since I reported the error myself. You've got this! 💪

I've been through this exact situation! Made the same mistake about income reporting and was terrified to call EDD. Here's what happened when I finally did: the agent was actually really understanding and said it happens more often than you'd think. They walked me through updating the information over the phone and flagged my account so there wouldn't be any issues. The whole call took maybe 15 minutes once I got through. My biggest tip is to call right at 8 AM - I literally had my phone ready at 7:59 and hit redial at exactly 8:00. Got through on the third try! Don't panic about getting in trouble - they're way more concerned about people who try to hide mistakes than those who proactively fix them. You're doing the right thing by addressing it quickly! 🙌

I went through this exact same thing last month! I was so stressed about calling EDD, but honestly it wasn't as bad as I expected. The agent I spoke with said income reporting errors are super common and they deal with them all the time. Here's what worked for me: I called at 8:02 AM on a Tuesday, had my claim number and employment details written down, and just explained honestly that I made a mistake when initially filing. The agent updated my information right there on the call and said it would be processed within 7-10 business days. No penalties or anything scary - they actually thanked me for calling to correct it rather than letting it slide. Just be straightforward about the error and have your paperwork ready. You'll be fine! 😊

I made a similar mistake when I first filed my claim - accidentally said I wasn't going to receive any income when I actually had some part-time work lined up. I was terrified to call EDD, but it turned out to be much smoother than expected! The agent was really professional and said these reporting errors happen frequently. She updated my claim information during the call and explained that since I was being proactive about correcting it, there wouldn't be any penalties. The key things that helped me: 1) Called right at 8 AM on a weekday, 2) Had my claim number and employment details organized beforehand, 3) Was completely honest about the mistake. The correction showed up in my account within about a week. Don't stress too much about this - you're doing exactly the right thing by addressing it quickly rather than hoping it goes unnoticed. Good luck with your call!

I was in a very similar situation a few months back and totally understand the anxiety! Here's what I learned from my experience: Call EDD first thing in the morning (I had success around 8:15 AM), be completely honest about the mistake, and have your employment information ready (employer name, dates, income amounts, etc.). The agent I spoke with was actually really helpful and said income reporting errors happen all the time. They corrected it during the call and put a note on my file explaining it was a voluntary correction. The whole thing was resolved within about 2 weeks with no penalties since I was proactive about fixing it. Don't overthink it - you're doing the right thing by addressing this quickly rather than ignoring it. The EDD agents would much rather help someone fix an honest mistake than deal with someone trying to hide information. You've got this! 💪

I went through this exact same situation about 6 months ago and completely understand the stress you're feeling! Here's what worked for me: I called EDD at exactly 8:00 AM on a Wednesday (set multiple alarms lol) and got through after about 20 minutes of redialing. When I explained that I had accidentally marked incorrect income information, the agent was actually really understanding and said it happens more than you'd think. They updated my claim right there on the call and explained that since I was voluntarily correcting the mistake, there wouldn't be any penalties or issues. The key is having everything ready before you call - your claim number, SSN, exact employment dates, employer info, and the correct income amounts. The agent put detailed notes on my account about the voluntary correction, and everything was updated within about 10 days. Honestly, the anticipation and worry was way worse than the actual call! You're absolutely doing the right thing by addressing this proactively rather than hoping it goes unnoticed. They really do appreciate when people are upfront about honest mistakes. Good luck - you've got this! 🍀

I was in a similar situation earlier this year and totally get how nerve-wracking it feels! Here's what helped me: I called EDD at 8:05 AM on a Thursday and was honest from the start about making an error on my income reporting. The agent was actually really patient and said these mistakes are more common than people think. They walked me through updating the information over the phone and made a note that it was a voluntary correction. The whole process took about 12 days to fully update in the system, but there were no penalties since I reported it myself rather than waiting for them to catch it. My advice: have your claim number, employment details (employer name, dates, income amounts), and Social Security number ready before calling. Stay calm and just explain that you realized you made an honest mistake and want to correct it ASAP. The agents deal with this stuff daily and they're way more understanding than you'd expect. You're doing exactly the right thing by being proactive about fixing it! 👍
