Need EDD denial letter after maxing out benefits - claim disappeared from system

Ugh, been there done that. It's such a pain to deal with the unemployment office. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes that's the only way to get a straight answer.

I found a way to actually 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your unemployment account online 2. Look for a section called "Document Center" or "Correspondence" 3. There should be an option to request a benefit exhaustion letter 4. If you can't find it, try the "Contact Us" section and send a message requesting the letter 5. Be sure to mention it's for work purposes 6. If all else fails, you might have to visit an unemployment office in person Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

man, the whole system is broken. why do they make it so hard for us to get basic info? its like they want us to fail smh

Have you checked your mail? Sometimes they automatically send out a letter when your benefits are exhausted. Might save you some trouble if you already have it.

Quick question - how long ago did you max out your benefits? There might be some extensions available depending on your state and current situation.

Oof, I feel ya. I had to get a denial letter last year for my landlord. Took forever but I finally got it by emailing them directly. Hang in there! 💪
