EDD DE 429D Notice shows incorrect total wages - How to fix?
Hey everyone, I just got my DE 429D Notice of Computation and the total wages listed are completely wrong. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm freaking out because I know this affects my benefits. What should I do to get this fixed?

Ugh, been there done that. EDD's always messing up our wages š First thing you gotta do is gather all your pay stubs and W-2s. Then call them ASAP and explain the situation. Be prepared for a loooong wait time tho

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

Listen up, I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: ⢠Collect all your wage info: pay stubs, W-2s, anything that shows your correct earnings ⢠Write a clear, concise letter explaining the discrepancy ⢠Include copies (NOT originals) of your proof ⢠Mail it to EDD with your claim number clearly marked ⢠ALSO fax the same info if you can ⢠Keep trying to call, but don't rely on it ⢠Be patient, it might take a few weeks to get sorted Remember, stay calm and document EVERYTHING. Good luck!

Pro tip: if u end up faxing stuff, use an online fax service. Way easier than finding an actual fax machine in 2023 lol

Same thing happened to me last year! The key is being persistent and organized. I made copies of EVERYTHING and sent it multiple ways - mail, fax, AND uploaded through their portal if possible. Also keep a log of every call you make with date/time/who you spoke to. It took about 6 weeks but they eventually corrected mine. Don't give up! šŖ
