EDD questionnaire submitted late, now benefits overlap issue. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability benefits. I had a questionnaire that I needed to fill out for the EDD, but I think I submitted it too late. Now there's some kind of overlap issue between my unemployment and disability benefits. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to fix it or who to contact?

UI Benefits Issue: Not Payment Delays, Possibly Eligibility/Recent Decision Problem - Need Advice!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my UI benefits and I'm not sure what to do. It's not about payment delays, but something else. I think it might be related to eligibility or a recent decision, but I'm not 100% sure. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to handle this or who to contact?

Unfortunately, mis-calendaring the date wouldn't qualify as an "Administrative Error" since that term typically refers to mistakes made by the EDD or Appeals Board themselves, not scheduling errors by claimants. However, you still have options! California EDD allows appeals to be reopened under "good cause" provisions. While a personal scheduling error isn't automatically considered good cause, you can still request to have your appeal reopened by: 1. Acting quickly - you typically have 20 days from the decision date to request reopening 2. Filing a written request to reopen your appeal (form DE 6317) 3. Clearly explaining your situation and why you missed the hearing 4. Being honest about the scheduling error but emphasizing any factors that contributed to the confusion I recommend: - Contacting the Appeals Board immediately at 1-800-300-5616 - Following up with a written request explaining your situation - Including any documentation that might support your case While there's no guarantee they'll reopen based on a calendaring error alone, the sooner you address this, the better your chances. The Appeals Board does have some discretion in these matters, especially if you're prompt in your follow-up.
Need advice on cancelling EDD unemployment - what to prepare for the call?
Hey everyone, I need some advice. I'm planning to cancel my unemployment benefits and I'm not sure how to go about it. I've got an appointment with EDD coming up to discuss my claim. Any tips on what I should prepare or how to handle the conversation? I want to make sure I do this right and don't mess anything up.

Anyone else feel like the whole unemployment system is designed to be as confusing as possible? 🤔 Like they're trying to discourage us from using it...
Preach! 🙌 It's a bureaucratic maze designed to wear us down. Stay strong, OP!
Tin foil hat time: what if it's intentionally bad so private companies can offer "solutions" and make money off our frustration? 🤡
EDD hasn't combined wages from different states - how to fix?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment benefits. The EDD hasn't combined my wages from different states, and it's really messing up my benefit calculation. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do when I finally get through to them on the phone?

Hey OP, quick question - when exactly did you submit the questionnaire? There might be a grace period depending on when it was due.

AuthorI think it was about a week after the due date. I completely forgot about it with everything else going on. 😓

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that might cause some issues. But don't lose hope! Explain the situation when you get through to them. Sometimes they can be understanding if you're honest about what happened.
