Need help with EDD reapplication process - when should I reapply?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to reapply for benefits but I'm not sure when I last did it. Can anyone help me figure out how often we need to reapply? I'm worried I might have missed a deadline or something.

Quick question: does anyone know if reapplying affects your weekly benefit amount? I'm worried it might go down if I reapply.
It can change based on your recent work history. If you earned less in the past year, it might go down. But it could also go up if you earned more!
Ah, that makes sense. Fingers crossed it doesn't decrease then. Thanks for the info!
EDD payments stopped for 2 weeks despite on-time certification - what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my unemployment payments. For the last 2 weeks, I haven't received any money even though I've been certifying on time and everything seems to go through successfully. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what could be causing the delay or what I should do next?

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to improve the EDD system? Supposedly it'll make things faster, but idk if it'll actually help.
Yeah, I read about that. Sounds promising, but I'll believe it when I see it. 🙄
EDD OTHER PAY letter - need advice on clearing up employer payments
Hey everyone, I just got a letter in the mail about OTHER PAY and dates covered by my employer. I need to call and discuss this with them to make sure I'm getting the correct payment from the state. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm trying to clear up the payments from my employer to ensure everything is accurate. Any advice on what I should ask or how to approach this conversation?

I've been dealing with this OTHER PAY nonsense for months now. Turns out my employer reported my final paycheck wrong and it's been a nightmare to fix. Don't give up, OP!
Oh no, that sounds awful! How long did it take you to get it sorted out?
It took about 3 months of back and forth. Stay on top of it and keep calling!
EDD Account Locked - Can't Login, Need Help ASAP!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble logging into my account. It's locked and I can't get in. I've tried multiple times but no luck. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get back in?
Join the conversation
Oof, account lockouts are the worst. Here's what I'd try: 1. Password reset (obvi) 2. Check your email for any notifications from EDD 3. Try logging in from a different device or browser 4. Clear your cache and cookies 5. If all else fails, call their support line Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it sorted.
Thanks for the detailed steps! I'll work through these and update you all on how it goes.
This is solid advice 💯 Saving this for future reference!

This might sound weird, but try reaching out to them on Twitter. I've seen some people get responses that way.

Make sure you're answering all the certification questions correctly. One wrong answer can delay everything.
