Need help fixing wrong return-to-work date on EDD claim - what to do?

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I just realized there's a mistake on my EDD claim regarding my return-to-work date. Has anyone gone through the process of updating this information? I'm not sure what to expect when I call them. Any tips on what I should prepare or say during the call would be really helpful. I'm kinda nervous about messing things up further.

I've been through this before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your claim documents and any proof of your correct return date. 2. Call EDD and explain the situation clearly. 3. Be patient - the wait times can be crazy long. 4. Ask for a confirmation number or email after they make the changes. 5. Follow up if you don't see the updates in a few days. Good luck! The system is a mess, but stay persistent.

This is solid advice. I'd add: write down the name of who you talk to and the time of the call. It's saved my butt before when they 'lost' my info.

Nah man, don't give up! It sucks but you gotta keep pushing. Have you tried reaching out to your local rep? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

Quick question - how did you notice the mistake? I'm paranoid now and want to double-check my own claim lol

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous, we shouldn't have to pay for basic service 😤

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

It took about 2 hours for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still way better than doing it yourself tho

make sure you document EVERYTHING. EDD is notorious for 'losing' info. I learned this the hard way 😭

I tried but ended up having to call anyway. The online system is useless for most changes 🙄

Totally agree. We need to push for reform. This isn't working for anyone.

Question for OP - how off is your return date? If it's just a day or two, it might not be worth the hassle tbh
