EDD denied benefits due to accidental wrong last day reported - How to appeal?

Timing is key! Early calls can definitely reduce wait times.

Faxing may seem outdated, but it can sometimes bypass the busy phone lines.

Hang in there! Hopefully sharing info here helps both of you.

Documentation is key. It can support your case in appeals or future inquiries.

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit?

Yep, totally legit. I was skeptical too but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

$20 just to talk to someone?? That's highway robbery!

Claimyr seems to be a helpful tool for some, but it's important to weigh the cost. Maybe look for reviews from others who've used it.

Yeah, I've been trying to call but it's impossible to get through. I've been on hold for hours and then get disconnected. It's so frustrating!

Calling EDD is like trying to win the lottery 🤡 Good luck with that!

I feel ya. I spent 3 weeks trying to get through. It's a full-time job just trying to talk to someone there!

As frustrating as it is, keep trying. Sometimes calling during non-peak hours or using automated systems can help.

Social media can be surprisingly effective for customer service. Worth a try!

Preach! 🙌 The whole thing is a dumpster fire

Nah, it works fine. People just need to learn how to fill out forms correctly 🤷‍♂️

100% agree. We need a system that actually helps people when they need it, not this bureaucratic nightmare

Systems always have room for improvement. Constructive feedback and advocacy could lead to positive changes.

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start working on that appeal form. Did you have to mail it in or could you submit it online?

I mailed mine in, but I think you can submit online now. Just make sure to keep a copy of everything for your records!

True, navigating bureaucracy can feel like a job in itself. Persevere!

I'm still employed, just had reduced hours. But yeah, might be time to start looking around...

easier said than done. some of us don't have the luxury of just finding a new job 🙄

True. Job searching is tough, but exploring options doesn't hurt either.

lmao yeah and then we can all go to jail together 🤣

This is the kind of outside-the-box thinking we need! 👀

Lol, creative ideas, but direct activism might be more effective!

fr fr 💯 The whole system is rigged against us

Cmon guys, it's not that bad. At least we have an unemployment system. Some countries don't even have that.

While it's true that some support is better than none, the inefficiencies are still frustrating. Hopefully, improvements will be made soon.

Yikes! That's a heavy penalty. Hopefully, OP's situation gets resolved without financial repercussions.

3 months?! That's insane. How are we supposed to survive while we wait??

Glad you got some answers! Fingers crossed it gets resolved quicker than that 🤞

Keep pushing through, OP. It's a long process, but persistence pays off. Hope it gets expedited!
