Guys, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on backpay for 3 months now. Any advice on how to expedite the process?
Bruh, EDD is straight up 🤡 these days. I swear they're trying to make it impossible to get help. Hang in there!
I filed online and it was way easier than calling. Might wanna try that first if you haven't already.
wait i'm confused... if you were paid from UK, wouldn't you need to file for unemployment in the UK not in california?? just wondering.
One more thing to consider - make sure you have documentation of your immigration/work status since this involves a foreign employer. EDD might request this information even if you're a US citizen/resident. Also, when you file, use the employer's Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) if you have it - this helps EDD match your claim to the correct employer. If you don't have it, use the California office's information and explain the situation in any text fields available during the application.

Pro tip: Always double check your entries before submitting. One small mistake can delay your claim for weeks. Learn from my fail 🤦♂️
