EDD Direct Deposit Rejected: How to Get Cancelled Payments Reissued?

I didn't know that was an option! I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks for the tip!

This worked for me! But it took like 2 weeks for the system to process the change. Still faster than calling tho lol

It's a handy trick, but keep checking your account to make sure the update has gone through!

Pretty sure that's illegal, bro. Don't catch a case over EDD drama 😅

Yeah, let's not. The last thing any of us need is trouble with the IRS on top of EDD issues!

Not the best approach, but I get the sentiment behind it. Frustration with the system is real.

Omg yes! I swear I hear it in my nightmares now 😱

Pro tip: put the phone on speaker and play your own music over it. Makes the wait slightly less soul-crushing 🎧

They really should consider changing it to something more uplifting!

Thanks for the positivity! Sometimes it's easy to forget there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Needed to hear this today. Thanks for the reminder to keep our chins up!

Positivity can be contagious. Let's keep supporting one another in these times!

Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I'll try anything at this point. Do you have the fax number?

lol i know right? But it worked for me! Here's the number: 555-123-4567. Good luck!

If you're going to fax, make sure you also send a follow-up call or email to let them know you've faxed over your details.

Lol imagine hundreds of people outside their office all playing that hold music in sync 😂

I'm in! We could make signs that say 'EDD: Extremely Disappointing Department' 🪧

As funny as this sounds, maybe some public pressure would actually help improve the system? 🤔

Peaceful protest is a powerful tool, but always good to be mindful of the consequences.

This! 👆 I used to work in a call center (not EDD but similar). Trust me, being nice will get you way further than being a jerk.

Agreed! I always try to make them laugh if I can. We're all human, after all.

Sometimes those reps are your best allies. Treating them well can lead to unexpected help.

Wow, way to be insensitive. People are struggling and this is what you have to say? Not cool, dude.

ok boomer 🙄

You do realize that unemployment insurance is something we pay into while working, right? It's not a handout, it's a safety net we've already paid for. Educate yourself before making ignorant comments.

It's easy to judge when you're not in someone else's shoes. Everyone's situation is different, be empathetic.

This is great advice! I wish I'd started doing this from the beginning. Guess I'll start now better late than never

100% this. I had to appeal a decision once and all my documentation saved my butt!

Documentation is key in any bureaucracy. It can save you a lot of time and stress.

In my experience, it can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. But don't quote me on that - the EDD moves in mysterious ways 🙄

2-4 weeks? You got lucky! I've been waiting for 3 months now. This system is so broken its not even funny anymore.

I guess it depends on how busy they are, but staying on top of them might expedite the process a bit.

Sounds too good to be true. How does it actually work?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The service should be free.

I get the skepticism, but it really did work for me. You pay, they call and wait on hold, then when a real person picks up, they connect you. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

I wish they had a free trial or something, just to see if it really works. But if you're desperate, maybe it's worth the money.

LOL sign me up! First meeting: How to decode EDD's cryptic status messages 101 🕵️‍♂️

Forget a degree, we need a whole PhD program for this nonsense 🤣

I'd join that group in a heartbeat! We could have weekly meetings where we all try to call EDD together and see who gets through first 😅

It's sad but true. Dealing with government systems really does feel like a full-time job.

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're purposely making it difficult so people just give up.

ikr? its almost like they dont want us to get paid 🤔

You're not alone. The system is designed to be frustrating. Stay strong and keep fighting for what's yours!

Totally agree! It's our money, yet it feels like we're begging for it.

For real! We should all get certificates: 'Survived EDD Hell and Lived to Tell the Tale' 📜

Forget a medal, we deserve hazard pay for the stress this causes! 💰😤

It's tough, but knowing you're not alone in the struggle can be quite comforting.

Seriously, this is some of the best advice. Backing up your claims with documentation is often necessary.

That's actually a great idea! I never thought of that. Do you just call their office or is there a specific process?

Just call their office and explain your situation. They usually have a staff member who deals with constituent services. They might ask you to fill out a form giving them permission to inquire about your case. It took about 2 weeks, but they got it sorted for me!

I think a lot of people overlook this option. Representatives are there to help their constituents.

Congrats! 🎉 Glad you got it sorted. Keep us posted on whether the payments actually come through!

Only 2 hours? You must have a horseshoe up your butt or something 😂 Seriously tho, glad it worked out!

Great news! Make sure to verify your bank details are correct this time to avoid any more delays.

omg yes! I swear they do it on purpose 😤

Pro tip: try accessing the site using incognito mode or a different browser. Sometimes that works for me when it says it's down.

It's really inconvenient when you have to do something urgent and the site isn't cooperating.

It's frustrating when you have to resort to in-person visits, but if it works, then it's worth it in the end.
