EDD disqualified me after address update - still have claim balance. Help!

Ugh, classic EDD move. They always find a way to screw us over. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho 🙄

hey op, hang in there. we're all in the same boat. this system is designed to wear us down, but don't let it. you got this! 💪

Have you checked your inbox on the EDD website? Sometimes they send notices explaining why you were disqualified. Might give you a starting point to appeal.

have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds crazy in 2023, but I've heard some ppl having success with that method

plot twist: what if updating your address automatically triggers a review of your claim? 🤔 maybe they're checking if you moved out of state or something

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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/?ref=red

This happened to me too! It's like they're looking for any excuse to cut us off. I had to call them every day for a week before I finally got through. Keep trying!

edd is such a joke. they probably "lost" your update somehow. wouldn't be surprised if some intern just spilled coffee on it or smthn 🙄☕️

guys, we need to organize and do something about this. how many of us are getting screwed over by edd? we should start a petition or something

Have you tried tweeting at them? Sometimes public shaming works wonders 😈

It sounds like a frustrating situation, OP. I would recommend looking into services like Claimyr which can help expedite getting through to a live EDD representative. While it does cost $20, for many, the time and stress saved can be worth the investment. However, recognize that it's a service not everyone can afford, and it’s also important to continue trying all the available free options. Persistence is key, and documenting everything clearly can help if you need to escalate your issue. Additionally, consider reaching out to your local representatives or seeking guidance from community resource centers that may offer assistance with unemployment issues. Stay persistent, document everything, and explore all avenues for resolution.

Okay, listen up. Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Save screenshots of your account, the disqualification notice, and your claim balance. 2. Write a detailed appeal letter. Explain that you updated your address as requested and include a copy of the utility bill you sent them. 3. Call EDD first thing in the morning. Like, set an alarm for 7:55 am and start dialing at 8:00 am sharp. Keep trying until you get through. 4. When you finally talk to someone, be polite but firm. Ask them to review your case and explain why you were disqualified despite following their instructions. 5. If the phone rep can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor. Don't hang up until you get some answers or a plan of action. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They often have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is broken, but you can navigate it if you're stubborn enough.
