EDD: Certified for wrong weeks - How to fix?

I found a way to solve unemployment certification week errors, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp8Glyc_7Do

Ugh, been there done that. It's such a pain when you mess up the certification weeks. Have you tried calling EDD? They might be able to help you sort it out.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what you need to do to fix wrong certification weeks: 1. Try to reach EDD asap. The sooner you correct it, the better. 2. Explain the situation clearly - which weeks were wrong and what the correct dates should be. 3. They might ask you to file a new claim or adjust the existing one. 4. Be prepared with all your employment info and dates. 5. If you can't reach them by phone, try sending a message through your UI Online account. 6. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what was said. 7. Be patient. It might take a few attempts to get it sorted. Remember, mistakes happen. The important thing is to address it quickly and honestly. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks the whole EDD system is a joke? like how hard is it to make a website that actually works 🤡

Have you checked if theres a way to submit a correction online? Sometimes you can avoid the whole calling nightmare if you catch it early enough.

Guys, I'm telling you, the key is to call at exactly 8:01 am. Not 8:00, not 8:02. 8:01. Trust me on this one 😎

OP, whatever you do, don't ignore this. I made that mistake and ended up owing money back. It's a nightmare to deal with later.

I had a similar issue last month! What worked for me was logging into my UI Online account and looking for the "Contact EDD" section. You can send them a message explaining the mistake with your certification weeks. Include your specific dates and what went wrong. It took about 5-7 business days to get a response, but they were able to fix it without me having to call. Way less stressful than trying to get through on the phone! Make sure to be very clear about which weeks you certified for vs which weeks you actually meant to certify for.
