Good morning ugh! I'm just fed up with this whole edd/sdi system. I have applied and recieved quite a few times. Same Dr, same diagnosis,  same address same phone number. But, I was selected for ID verification.  Ok, no problem.  I mailed (snail mail) and sent certified all the address verification,  as a matter of fact I sent one of each category that they were asking for. I sent this on 2/2 . I hadn't hear anything from them. So, I got my legislation I then finally recieved an update yesterday that said I was because I failed to send in the verification.  REALLY!!! So, they not only didn't get one package, but they did get two? I took a picture of rhe envelope at the post office and I have the return receipt. This is crazy.

Nichelle, I’m so sorry, that’s so annoying and frustrating. I would call again and see if they let you resubmit or send in the again since are long process. Ask to speak to a Tier 2, someone above the rep. $5 discount for first time callers using Claimyr $5 discount for first time callers using Claimyr! https://join.claimyr.com/be256

Thank you. I asked for a manager call back, but I had the rudest rep. These people need to be fired and held accountable.

I had 2 rude reps! I couldn’t handle the first one so I hanged up. 2nd one, at the end of the call I asked for his name and he hanged up on me. I was so mad!

Celeste, you can definitely purchase a call and be in the to receive a call tomorrow morning. :) $5 discount for first time callers using Claimyr https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

Contact edd tomorrow to request to push it through again. If still not helped, contact a local assembly member involved. 20 days or 4 months seem unfair! It’s frustrating but best is still to speak with Edd to push again. https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 (First call $5 off for claimyr to call Edd) Local assembly member https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

Does anyone know how to get my Bank of America unblocked? They have been harassing me for over a year now. I got my unblocked 3 months ago. The first I tried to make they closed it. I called edd. My had been and I was told to file an appeal. I filed an appeal. I won the appeal. I called the bank. They unblocked my card and the 26 weeks missing were added to my account. The first I made, they closed the account. I called the bank and got my card unblocked again. I was finally able to $1000 from the ATM. I ordered postmates, the card worked. I tried ordering food later that day, the card was declined. I called the bank again and they want me to go to a bank with 2 forms of ids. Banks are closing everyday because people are getting sick. I’m  an old lady, if I catch I’ll die. Does anyone know how to get the card unblocked or who to contact and complain about this harassment from the bank for the past year?

How long after you won the claim did you call to get your card unblocked ? I’m going through the same issues I won’t my over 2 weeks ago and my card still isn’t unlocked

To avoid this, I just asked for a paper to be mailed. Its the only other option.
