EDD DE 429D Notice of Computation shows incorrect total wages - Need help fixing!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I had the same issue last year. Have you tried gathering all your wage statements and tax documents? That's what helped me prove the discrepancy.

I've been dealing with EDD for months now and it's a nightmare. Their system is so broken, I swear they just make up numbers sometimes 🤡

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD! There's this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what you need to do to resolve your DE 429D issue: 1. Gather all your wage information: W-2 forms, pay stubs, and any other proof of income for the period in question. 2. Write a clear, concise letter explaining the discrepancy. Include calculations showing what you believe your correct wages should be. 3. Make copies of everything - don't send originals! 4. Mail your letter and copies to: Employment Development Department PO Box 826880 Sacramento, CA 94280-0001 5. Follow up with a phone call about 2 weeks after mailing. Be persistent! 6. If you don't get a response within 30 days, consider filing an appeal. Remember, stay calm and document everything. Good luck!

have u tried faxing them? sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur agencies lol

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to fix my wage issue for weeks. Let me know if you find a solution that works!

Pro tip: keep a log of every interaction with EDD. Date, time, who you spoke to, what was said. It'll save you headaches later, trust me.

Anyone know if theres a way to check our wage records online? Seems like that would make this whole process easier...

OP, what industry do you work in? Some industries (like restaurant work) are more prone to wage reporting errors.

I went through this exact same issue about 6 months ago! The key thing that worked for me was requesting a "wage detail report" directly from EDD - it shows exactly what employers reported vs what you actually earned. You can request it by calling the UI customer service line or through UI Online. Once I had that report, I could see exactly where the discrepancy was (turned out one of my employers had reported the wrong quarters). Then I followed Zara's advice about mailing documentation. The whole process took about 6 weeks but they did correct it. Don't give up - you've got this! 💪
