EDD disqualified me after approving training program while in school - help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with EDD. I applied for their training program while I'm in school, and initially they said everything looked good. But now I've got disqualifications on my account! Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm confused because my classes don't interfere with my work availability. Any advice on how to handle this or what I should do next?

Anyone else notice that the system seems to be down every other day? I swear they're doing it on purpose to reduce the number of claims...

Guys, let's not assume malice. The systems are probably just overloaded with all the claims.

Has anyone tried going to the unemployment office in person? I'm thinking of camping out overnight if that's what it takes.

I tried that last week. They just gave me a piece of paper with the same phone number we've all been calling. Total waste of time.
