I found a way to solve unemployment certification mistake correction, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg5xOn7phAU

I've been wrestling with EDD for 6 months now. It's like trying to nail jello to a tree. Hang in there, OP!

Plot twist: what if you start a company, hire yourself, then consult for other companies through your own company? 🤔 Problem solved!

man, the EDD system is such a mess. i swear they make it confusing on purpose 🙄 hope you get it sorted out OP

Hey, quick question - when you say you listed the company as your employer, was this on the initial claim or just on the weekly certifications?

Ugh, bureaucracy at its finest. 🙄 Good luck dealing with this mess, OP.

Have you tried reaching out to the company you were consulting for? They might be able to help clarify things with EDD. Just a thought.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD. 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. (https://claimyr.com

Oof, that's a tough situation. I've been there before with unemployment paperwork. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Call EDD asap and explain the situation 2. Be honest about the mistake and ask how to correct it 3. Get everything in writing - follow up with an email after the call 4. Ask about any potential penalties and how to avoid them 5. Double check all your future certifications Good luck, hope it works out for you!

Have you checked the EDD subreddit? There's a ton of info there that might help.

Have you considered hiring a lawyer? Sometimes it's worth it to get professional help with these things.

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

Dude, you're not alone. The EDD website is like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded while riding a unicycle. 🤡 I've made so many mistakes on those forms, it's not even funny anymore.

Just wanted to say good luck, OP. We're all counting on you. ✈️

I'm in the same boat, matey. 🚢 Been trying to get this sorted for weeks. EDD is like a black hole where all logic and reason disappear.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic. Mistakes happen and EDD deals with this stuff all the time. 2. Gather all your documentation - dates you worked, how much you earned, etc. 3. Write a clear, concise explanation of what happened. 4. Call EDD (use that Claimyr thing if you need to get through). 5. Be polite but persistent. Sometimes you need to talk to a supervisor to get things fixed. 6. Follow up in writing after the call. 7. Keep checking your online account for updates. 8. For future certifications, make sure you're listing yourself as self-employed. Remember, you're not the first person to make this mistake and you won't be the last. Stay calm and keep pushing until it's resolved.
