Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you've been certifying for benefits regularly, even if you're not currently receiving them. It can affect your ability to reopen the claim smoothly.
OP, how long has it been since you requested the replacement checks? Sometimes it can take up to 10 business days for them to process and mail them out.
Anyone else feel like the whole unemployment system is held together with duct tape and prayers? 🙏 It's 2023, why is this still so complicated?
Heads up, they might try to lowball you on the c-section recovery time. My wife's doctor recommended 8 weeks, but they initially only approved 6. We had to appeal to get the full time. Don't be afraid to push back if needed!
I'm an EDD employee (not official capacity here). The system is super backed up right now due to budget cuts and increased claims. We're doing our best, but it's tough. My advice: make sure all your docs are in order and keep trying to reach out. Sorry you're dealing with this. 😕

•Just google "find my california assembly member" and enter your address. They usually have a form on their website for EDD issues.
