EDD Disqualified Me After Questionnaire - Need Help ASAP!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I just got disqualified for unemployment benefits after filling out a questionnaire they sent me. I'm not sure why I was disqualified and I really need those benefits for the last two weeks. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on what I should do or say when I call them?

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they post more detailed info there about disqualification reasons.

UI to SDI transition mess-up: Reduced benefits & worried about complications. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my UI and SDI claims. I talked to a rep about disqualifying myself from UI because I'm starting SDI, but I think I messed up and didn't disqualify myself for the previous week. Now my benefit amount is reduced and I'm worried about complications. I filed for SDI a week after my disability start date. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to handle this without it turning into a nightmare?

EDD password reset help & Spanish support options?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment account. I need to reset my password but I'm not sure how to do it. Also, does anyone know if I can get help in Spanish? My English isn't great and I'd feel more comfortable speaking with someone in Spanish. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged against us. They make it so complicated on purpose so people just give up. 🤬

Calm down, Alex Jones. It's not a conspiracy, just good old-fashioned bureaucratic incompetence. 🙄

Hey OP, just a heads up - when I updated my claim for reduced hours, it took about 3 weeks for the changes to take effect. So don't panic if you don't see an immediate change in your benefits.

AuthorThat's really good to know, thanks! Did they backpay you for those 3 weeks?

Yep, they did backpay. Just make sure you keep certifying every week like normal.
