EDD $810 overpayment conflicting with disability case - need advice ASAP
I'm in a tough spot with unemployment and disability. I got overpaid $810 by unemployment, and now it's messing up my disability case. I need to get this fixed ASAP. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to handle this when I talk to the unemployment department?

EDD missed my scheduled 1-3pm appointment yesterday. No call, no update. What now?
I applied for unemployment and they gave me an appointment yesterday from 1-3 pm but no one called. I'm trying to find out the status of my claim. Has anyone else had this happen? What should I do now?

Anyone else notice that the EDD seems to be getting worse instead of better? You'd think after all this time they'd have figured out how to handle the volume by now. SMH
For real tho. It's like they're stuck in the stone age or smthn. How hard is it to upgrade their systems? 🙄
I heard they're still using computers from the 80s. No wonder everything's so slow!
EDD Overpayment of $810 due to Unemployment/Disability overlap - How to fix?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with unemployment and disability. Apparently, there's been an overpayment of $810 due to some overlap between unemployment and disability benefits. The disability office thinks I've been overpaid, but I'm pretty sure the error is actually on the unemployment side. I've only gotten notices from disability so far. I need to explain this mess to the unemployment department and get it sorted out ASAP because it's messing with my disability case. Any advice on how to handle this? Has anyone dealt with something similar?

This happened to my cousin last year. Turns out there was a glitch in the system that didn't register her switch from unemployment to disability properly. Took forever to fix but they eventually sorted it out. Hang in there!
Oh wow, that's interesting. Did she have to do anything special to get them to discover the glitch?
She had to be super persistent. Called like every other day and eventually got to someone in IT who looked deeper into it. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that
EDD Disability: Approved 3 months ago, still no payments. Help!
I filed for disability benefits a few months ago and got approved, but I still haven't received any payments. It's been three months now and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced long delays like this? Any advice on how to speed things up or what I should do next?

Not to be that guy, but have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds archaic, but I got a response within a week after sending a fax. Might be worth a shot!
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 🤣 But hey, if it works, it works!
Lol I know right? But seriously, sometimes the old school methods cut through the digital clutter.
EDD ID verification nightmare for wildfire relief - locked out of account, faxes ignored. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having a nightmare with my unemployment claim. I'm trying to get wildfire relief but I'm stuck in ID verification hell. I've sent two faxes already but they say they haven't received them. Now I'm locked out of my online account because of this ID issue. I can't even reset my password! Anyone else dealing with this mess or know how to get through to a real person?

Quick question - when you faxed your docs, did you include your claim number on every page? I've heard that can help prevent them from 'losing' your stuff.
I did on the cover sheet, but not every page. That's a good tip, I'll try that next time. Thanks!
Guys I finaly got through on the phone after trying for WEEKS. heres what I did: 1. Call exactly at 8:01 am 2. Press 1 for English (or 2 for Spanish) 3. Then 1 for claim questions 4. Then 2 for employer 5. THEN 4 for general info Somehow this got me to a real person in like 20 minutes! no idea why but it worked 🤷♂️
You cracked the code! 🕵️♂️ Gonna try this tomorrow, thanks!
I've been playing phone menu roulette for days, will def give this a shot

Hey OP, when you do get through, make sure to emphasize how this overpayment is affecting your disability case. Sometimes they don't realize how one issue can snowball into others. Stay strong! 💪
