have you considered setting up an LLC and paying yourself as an employee? might be a way to get back into the system for future benefits. just a thought 💭
I heard they're super backlogged bc of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long for legit claims too.
Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at the official EDD account can get their attention. Worth a shot!
have u tried going karen on them? sometimes u gotta be the squeaky wheel to get the grease 🤷♀️ ask for supervisors, threaten to go to the media, make a scene (politely) at the bank. it sucks but sometimes it works
This is why we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system. It's a joke that people have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits they're entitled to. Sorry you're dealing with this, OP.

Pro tip: start a job search log if you haven't already. Sometimes these reviews are just to make sure you're actively looking for work. Having documentation ready can speed things up.

•This! 💯 I keep a spreadsheet with dates, company names, and positions I've applied for. Saved my butt during a review.

Anyone else feel like they're playing unemployment benefit roulette? One week everything's fine, the next you're under review. It's exhausting.
