EDD case stuck - forgot to add employment info. What now?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD case. I realized I forgot to add and verify some information a few weeks back. Now my case hasn't cleared and I'm wondering if I'm missing any questions or info that needs to be completed. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, been there done that. The EDD system is such a mess! 🤦♂️ What kind of info did you forget to add? Employment history? Identity verification?

•Yeah, it was some employment history stuff. I completely blanked on adding a part-time gig I had last year. Now I'm worried it's gonna delay everything 😓

•Oof, that's rough. You might wanna call them ASAP to update your info. The longer you wait, the more of a headache it'll be.

I had a similar issue last month. Here's what I did: 1. Log into your EDD account and check for any pending tasks or messages. 2. If you see nothing there, try to submit a request for backdate or claim correction. 3. Gather all your employment docs, just in case they ask for them. 4. Be prepared to explain why you didn't include the info initially. 5. If all else fails, you gotta call them. It sucks, but sometimes it's the only way. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more info.

Hey, I found a method to 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

•Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

•Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

•$20 to actually talk to someone? That's highway robbery! 😤 The system is so broken

•I get it, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not spending hours redialing was worth the cost.

Have you tried checking your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there and you miss important updates.

Bruh, I feel you. EDD's got me pulling my hair out too. Been waiting 6 weeks for them to sort out a simple address change. This whole system needs an overhaul fr 😩

Yo, I went through something similar a few months back! Missing employment info can definitely hold things up. Here's what worked for me: log into your UI Online account and look for any "Action Items" or notifications. Sometimes they'll let you add missing info directly through the portal. If not, you can try filing a "Request for Backdate" form - it's in the forms section. Also keep checking your inbox for any correspondence from them. The waiting sucks but hang in there! 🤞
