Appeal for claim denied by EDD - What are my next steps?

Hey everyone, I just got my appeal for a claim denied and I'm not sure what to do next. Has anyone else gone through this process? Any advice on how to handle it or what steps I should take now? I'm feeling pretty lost and could use some guidance.

Have you considered reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

I hadn't thought of that. How would I go about doing that?

Just google your state rep or congressman. They usually have a 'constituent services' section on their website where you can submit your issue.

OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a bit depending on location.

I'm in California. Does that change things?

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, CA has its own quirks. Might want to check out the EDD website for state-specific info.

EDD payment delay over a week - holiday screwed everything up. Any advice?

I'm so frustrated with this payment delay. I was supposed to get paid on Monday, but it's been over a week and still nothing. I've called multiple times and keep getting different answers. They told me it was paid out, but I haven't seen a dime. The holiday messed things up, but come on! Anyone else dealing with this nonsense? Any advice on how to actually get my money?

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always get through within 15 minutes if I call at 8:01 AM sharp.

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes it updates there before they actually tell you anything on the phone.

SDI claim filed weeks ago, no response - normal or should I panic?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with SDI and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else had problems with their State Disability Insurance lately? I've been trying to figure out whats going on but I'm feeling pretty lost. Any advice or experiences would be really helpful!

Has anyone had luck with the SDI appeals process? My claim got denied and I'm not sure what to do next.

Thanks for the tip! Did you use a lawyer or handle it yourself?

0 coins

I handled it myself, but I've heard some people have success with lawyers. Depends on how complicated your case is, I guess.

Pro tip: if you're having trouble with SDI, try reaching out to them on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than their phone lines. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

Need help with EDD reapplication process - when should I reapply?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to reapply for benefits but I'm not sure when I last did it. Can anyone help me figure out how often we need to reapply? I'm worried I might have missed a deadline or something.

Quick question: does anyone know if reapplying affects your weekly benefit amount? I'm worried it might go down if I reapply.

0 coins

It can change based on your recent work history. If you earned less in the past year, it might go down. But it could also go up if you earned more!

0 coins

Ah, that makes sense. Fingers crossed it doesn't decrease then. Thanks for the info!

PSA: Be super careful when reapplying! I made a tiny mistake on my form and it delayed my benefits for weeks. Triple check everything before you submit!

EDD payments stopped for 2 weeks despite on-time certification - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my unemployment payments. For the last 2 weeks, I haven't received any money even though I've been certifying on time and everything seems to go through successfully. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what could be causing the delay or what I should do next?

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to improve the EDD system? Supposedly it'll make things faster, but idk if it'll actually help.

0 coins

Yeah, I read about that. Sounds promising, but I'll believe it when I see it. 🙄

Pro tip: if you do get through on the phone, ask them to put a ticket in for your case. It creates a paper trail and sometimes speeds things up.
