Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is a nightmare to navigate. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works for me.

I found a method that actually works 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They often have direct lines to EDD and can help expedite these issues.

omg the edd is such a joke 🤡 i've been trying to fix an issue for MONTHS and still no luck. good luck to you, we're all gonna need it lmao

I've been in the same boat, trying to cancel an inaccurate claim. Here's what finally worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what was said. 2. Send a written request via certified mail. This creates a paper trail. 3. File a formal appeal. Even if it's not exactly what you need, it gets your case in front of someone. 4. Contact your state representative. They can often cut through the red tape. 5. If all else fails, consider seeking legal advice. Sometimes a lawyer's letter can get things moving. It's a frustrating process, but persistence is key. Don't give up!

have u tried the online portal? sometimes u can make changes there without calling

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's not just you, it's broken for everyone. VOTE for representatives who prioritize fixing these issues!

Hey, former EDD employee here. For canceling an inaccurate claim, you need to speak with the Claims Management department. When you call, immediately ask for a tier 2 specialist in Claims Management. Don't take no for an answer. If they say they can't transfer you, hang up and try again. It might take a few attempts, but this is the fastest way to get to the right person.

lol good luck. i struck out so many times i just gave up. maybe in 2025 theyll fix my claim 😂

I had a similar nightmare with EDD last year! What finally worked for me was sending a fax (yes, a fax in 2024 🙄) to their disability services department. The fax number is (916) 464-3180. Write a clear letter explaining that you need to cancel an inaccurate SDI claim, include your claim number, SSN, and contact info. I got a callback within 3 business days! It's old school but apparently their fax system actually works unlike their phone system.
