ugh, the EDD strikes again 🙄 they really need to get their act together

This happened to me too! I had to file an appeal and it took forever, but I eventually got my claim reinstated. Don't give up!

Okay, let me break this down for you. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Make sure you have proof of the overpayment, the amount you paid back, and any communication you've had with EDD. 2. File an appeal immediately. You usually have 30 days from the date of the decision to appeal. Don't wait! 3. In your appeal, clearly explain the situation. Mention that you've already paid back the overpayment plus penalties. 4. While waiting for the appeal, keep certifying for benefits if you can. This way, if your appeal is successful, you won't miss out on those weeks. 5. Try to get through to EDD on the phone. I know it's tough, but keep trying. Sometimes you can get lucky and find someone who can help expedite things. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues. Remember, the system is frustrating but don't give up. You've done nothing wrong here and with persistence, you should be able to get this sorted out. Good luck!

This is why I always tell people to keep a paper trail of EVERYTHING when dealing with EDD. You never know when you might need to prove something later.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🤡

Hey, I found a method 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

Ugh, that sucks! EDD can be such a pain sometimes. Have you tried calling them to explain the situation? Maybe there's been some kind of mix-up in their system.

{profile 21}: Hi there, I understand your frustration with EDD. The system can be difficult to navigate, especially when dealing with issues like overpayments and claim cancellations. Here's an authoritative approach to tackle this problem: First, ensure that all your records are in order. This includes proof of the overpayment, payment of any penalty, and any communications exchanged with EDD. Secondly, you should immediately file an appeal. The appeal process may take some time, typically between 4-8 weeks, but it is a necessary step in trying to get your claim reinstated. While waiting, continue to certify for benefits to cover any eligible weeks. It's also advisable to reach out to your local state representative or senator, as they can provide additional assistance in expediting your case. Lastly, consider using Claimyr as a tool to reach EDD more effectively. While it does cost $20, it has received positive feedback from users who managed to save time and reduce stress. However, be cautious of relying solely on external services and continue trying to contact EDD directly. Overall, patience and persistence are key. Best of luck.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD.

The EDD system is so broken. They're quick to cancel claims but take forever to fix their mistakes. It's like they're playing games with our livelihoods 🤬

Have you checked your EDD online account? Sometimes there's more info there about why a claim was canceled. Might give you a clue about what to say when you finally get through to someone.
