EDD claim needs reopening right after approval? Help!

Ugh, the EDD system is such a mess! 🤦‍♂️ I had a similar issue a few months back. Here's what I did: • First, double-check your UI Online account for any messages or alerts • If you don't see anything there, definitely call EDD • When you call, explain that you were recently approved and are trying to certify • Ask if there's any specific reason your claim needs to be reopened • If they say yes, ask for step-by-step instructions on how to do it Be prepared for a long wait time when you call. It took me like 3 hours to get through. Good luck!

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. 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

have you tried certifying online anyway? sometimes the system glitches and says you need to reopen when you dont actually need to

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a glitch in the system and I didn't actually need to reopen my claim. Try logging out completely, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in. Might solve the problem without having to call.

bruh edd is straight 🤡🤡🤡 good luck gettin any1 on the phone

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to figure this out for days. Let us know if you find a solution!

Quick question: did you receive your award letter yet? Sometimes you need to wait for that before you can certify, even if you've been approved.

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You'll have a better chance of getting through quickly.

Have you checked if there's been any recent changes to EDD policies? Sometimes they update stuff and it causes issues like this.

edd more like eeediot am i rite? 🤣
