EDD Claim Help: Confused about 'Place of Business' for WFH - What to Expect?
Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my unemployment claim. I've been working from home and I'm not sure if I filled out the place of business correctly on my claim form. Has anyone else dealt with this? I want to make sure everything is accurate before I submit it. What should I expect after I file?

I had the same issue when I filed my claim! For the place of business, I just put my home address since that's where I was actually working. It seemed to work out fine for me.

ā¢Did you have to provide any additional documentation to prove you were working from home?

ā¢I had to submit a letter from my employer confirming my WFH status. Better safe than sorry!

Here's what you need to know about filing an unemployment claim when working from home: ā¢ Use your home address as the place of business ā¢ Be prepared to provide documentation of your work-from-home arrangement if asked ā¢ Make sure to report any income accurately, even if it's reduced ā¢ Keep track of all your job search activities ā¢ Expect some delays in processing due to high volume After you file, you'll usually get a confirmation email. Then it's a waiting game. They might contact you for more info or to verify details. Just be patient and keep checking your account for updates.

ā¢Thank you so much for this detailed response! It's really helpful. Do you know how long the waiting period usually is?

ā¢It varies a lot, but these days it can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks. The system is pretty backlogged.

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

ā¢Totally agree. We need to push for reform in the unemployment system. This is unacceptable.

Has anyone else noticed that the online portal is super glitchy? I keep getting error messages when I try to update my info.

Just a heads up, they've been doing random audits on work-from-home claims. Make sure you have all your ducks in a row!
