Filed DE2504REJ for EDD claim, now what? Help!

Oh man, you're barking up the wrong tree! The DE2504REJ form is for something totally different. What you need is the Continued Claim Form (DE 4581). That's the one that'll actually get you paid. Have you filled that out yet?

I feel your pain, OP. The EDD system is a total nightmare. I spent weeks trying to figure out which forms to fill out. It's like they purposely make it confusing just to mess with us 🙄

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you to a live agent when one picks up. It costs $20, but it totally worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Listen up, folks! 📢 Here's a comprehensive guide to navigating the EDD claim process: 1. File your initial claim online or by phone 2. Wait for your claim to be processed (can take 2-3 weeks) 3. Receive your Customer Account Number in the mail 4. Register for UI Online 5. Certify for benefits every two weeks using Form DE 4581 6. Keep all your documentation and correspondence Remember, persistence is key. If you're having trouble, don't give up! Keep calling, emailing, and checking your account. And don't forget to report any income you earn while receiving benefits. Hope this helps someone out there! 💪

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🎪🤡 where nothing makes sense and the forms are made up

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always down for "scheduled maintenance" whenever you actually need to use it? 🙄

Guys, I just got off the phone with an EDD rep (after waiting on hold for 3 hours 💀). They said there's been a glitch in the system affecting some DE2504REJ forms. If you filed one recently, you might want to call and check on its status.

Hang in there @Sophia! 🫂 I went through the exact same confusion last year. The DE2504REJ is actually for rejecting work offers while on unemployment - totally different from what you need for regular benefit payments. Here's what saved my sanity: create a little cheat sheet with all the form numbers and what they're for. DE 4581 (like @Aiden mentioned) is your bread and butter - that's your bi-weekly certification. Keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit, and don't be afraid to call multiple times if you get conflicting info from different reps. The system is definitely broken, but you'll get through this! 💪
