EDD UI Disqualification for No Reason - What to Do?

Has anyone else been disqualified from unemployment benefits for no reason? I just got a notice saying I'm disqualified but I don't understand why. I've been following all the rules and reporting my income correctly. This is so frustrating! I really need this money to pay my bills. Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do now?

I found a way to solve unemployment disqualification issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXpnnXmvemQ

this happened to my cousin last year. turns out he accidentally put the wrong date on one of his certifications. double check all ur paperwork, could be a dumb mistake like that

It's crazy how one small mistake can mess up the whole thing. Definitely worth checking.

have u tried checkin ur spam folder? sometimes important edd emails end up there. just a thought

I second this. I've found important EDD messages hiding in my spam a couple of times.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling EDD. Be persistent. 2. Document everything. Write down when you call, who you talk to, what they say. 3. Check your online account for any messages or requests for additional info. 4. If you can't get through, try contacting your local state representative. They sometimes can help push things along. 5. Make sure all your certifications are up to date and accurate. 6. If you have any proof that you're eligible (pay stubs, termination letter, etc.), gather it all in one place. 7. Consider filing an appeal if you can't resolve it over the phone. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed but you have rights. Keep fighting for what you're owed.

This should be pinned! So many people could benefit from these steps.

I had a similar issue and eventually found out it was due to an error in their system regarding my previous employer’s information. They had incorrect data and it triggered a disqualification. You might want to verify all your details in their system to ensure they are correct.

That's a good point! Errors in the system data can definitely cause issues.

Always verify the details they're working with. Mistakes happen more often than we think.

Hey, 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 the link: https://claimyr.com

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

0 coins

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too. But I was desperate and it actually worked for me. Got through in like an hour.

0 coins

$20 just to talk to EDD? That's messed up. The system is so broken 😤

0 coins

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Spent way more than $20 in time and frustration trying to call myself.

0 coins

I tried Claimyr too, it worked for me as well! But I understand $20 might not be feasible for everyone.

Ugh, same boat here. Got disqualified last week outta nowhere. EDD's system is such a mess rn. 🤦‍♂️ Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho...

0 coins

Yeah I've been trying to call all day. Keep getting busy signals or disconnected. This is ridiculous!

0 coins

Pro tip: call right when they open. Set an alarm and start dialing at 7:59am. Sometimes works for me.

0 coins

That's so frustrating! I've heard that Googling their alternative phone numbers might work as well. Good luck!

Have you checked if theres any new requirements or changes to the UI system? Sometimes they update stuff and don't tell anyone 🙄

0 coins

Good point! Checking their website regularly for updates might help avoid such issues.

0 coins

Ugh, I feel for you OP. The stress of dealing with EDD on top of being unemployed is just too much sometimes. Hang in there ❤️

0 coins

Sending you good vibes, OP. This is incredibly tough, hope you get through it soon.

0 coins

I went thru this last month. Turns out it was a "system error" on their end. 🙄 Keep calling and don't give up! Once you get someone on the phone, they can usually fix it pretty quick.

0 coins

Thanks for the hope! How long did it take you to get through to someone?

0 coins

Honestly? Like 3 days of non-stop calling. It was hell. But worth it in the end.

0 coins

Glad it eventually worked out for you. The system seems to be unreliable for so many people.

0 coins

The whole UI system needs a complete overhaul. It's not fit for purpose anymore. We should be writing to our representatives about this!

0 coins

Preach! 🙌 But good luck getting them to listen to us little guys

0 coins

We gotta try tho. Strength in numbers and all that. If we all complain maybe theyll finally do smthing

0 coins

Agreed! The more pressure we put on them, the more likely they are to act.
