EDD Wage Transfer from Another State to CA - What to Expect?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to confirm if my wages were transferred from another state to California. I called on Monday but I'm still not sure what's going on. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I expect when I'm transferred to a special claims agent? Is the wait usually long?

I went through this last year. It can be a bit of a hassle, but don't worry! When you get transferred to a special claims agent, they'll be able to help you more specifically. Make sure you have all your employment details ready. As for the wait time, it varies. I waited about 30 minutes, but I've heard others say it was quicker.

ā¢Yeah, I had to send in my W-2 from the previous state and some paystubs. They might ask for different things depending on your situation tho. Best to have everything ready just in case!

Pro tip: call right when they open. The wait times are usually shorter then. Also, be super nice to the agent - they deal with angry people all day and being friendly can go a long way!

Hey guys, I found a way to get someone on the phone without the crazy wait times. 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 for more info: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what you need to know about wage transfers between states: ⢠It can take 2-3 weeks for the process to complete ⢠You'll need to provide proof of employment from your previous state ⢠Make sure your claim is active in California ⢠Keep an eye on your UI Online account for updates ⢠If there's a delay, don't hesitate to call and ask for a status update The special claims agents are usually pretty helpful, but be prepared for a potentially long wait. Have all your documents ready and write down any questions you have beforehand. Good luck!

Quick question - did you file a new claim in CA or are you trying to transfer an existing claim? The process can be different depending on your situation.

ā¢I filed a new claim in CA. Should I have done something differently?

ā¢Nah, you did it right. Just making sure! The transfer should happen automatically, but it can take a few weeks. Hang in there!
