EDD listed wrong employer address on UI claim letter. How to fix before interview?

Ugh, classic EDD mess-up. 🙄 I had a similar issue last year. Call them ASAP and explain the situation. Be prepared to wait on hold for hours tho...

I found a way to actually 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down the correct address and any other relevant info. 2. Call EDD immediately. Be polite but firm. 3. Explain the situation clearly and ask them to update your record. 4. Request a confirmation number or email for the change. 5. Follow up in writing. Send a letter or fax with the correct information. 6. If possible, get a letter from your employer confirming the correct address. 7. During your phone interview, mention this issue right away. 8. Keep checking your online account for any updates. Don't panic if it takes a few days for the change to show up in the system. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? the system is broken af 😤

Have you tried reaching out to your former employer? They might be able to contact EDD directly to correct the address. Worth a shot!

OP, whatever you do, DON'T miss that phone interview. Even if the address isn't fixed by then, make sure you're available. Missing it can really mess up your claim.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue and I ended up contacting my local assembly member's office. They have liaisons who can sometimes cut through the red tape faster than we can on our own.

I actually went through this exact same situation about 6 months ago! My employer had offices in both San Francisco and San Jose, and EDD mixed them up on my paperwork. Here's what worked for me: I called EDD first thing in the morning (around 8:01 AM) and got through after about an hour. The rep was super helpful and fixed it on the spot. She told me that address mix-ups are pretty common with multi-location employers and it's usually a quick fix once you get someone on the phone. Just make sure you have your employer's correct address, your hire date, and any employment verification documents ready. The change showed up in my online account within 24 hours. Don't stress too much - this won't delay your benefits as long as you get it sorted before your interview!

I went through something similar last month! My company had offices in LA and Orange County, and EDD put down the wrong one. What really helped me was gathering all my employment docs beforehand - like my offer letter, first paystub, and even my employee handbook that showed the correct office address. When I finally got through to someone (took 3 tries over 2 days), having all that info ready made the call go super smooth. The rep updated it immediately and even gave me a confirmation number. Also, don't forget to double-check your UI Online account after they make the change - sometimes it takes a day or two to update in the system. You got this! 💪

I had this exact same problem a few months back! My employer had locations in both Fresno and Bakersfield, and they somehow got the wrong one on my claim. What saved me was calling right at 8:00 AM sharp - I actually set an alarm and started dialing the second they opened. Got through in about 30 minutes which felt like a miracle lol. The rep was really understanding about it and said these mix-ups happen all the time with companies that have multiple offices. She fixed it right there on the call and told me it would update in the system within 1-2 business days. Make sure you have your correct work address written down clearly and maybe your employee ID number if you have it. During my phone interview later that week, I mentioned the address correction right at the beginning just to be safe, and the interviewer noted it in my file. Everything went smoothly after that! Don't panic - this is totally fixable and shouldn't mess up your benefits timeline. 👍

Hey James! I actually work for a company that helps people navigate EDD issues, and address mix-ups are super common - especially with multi-location employers. Here's my advice: First, try the online UI portal to see if there's an option to update employer info before calling. Sometimes you can submit corrections through the "Contact Us" feature without waiting on hold. If that doesn't work, definitely call early (8AM sharp like others mentioned), but here's a pro tip: have your W-2 or final paystub ready that shows the correct address. EDD reps can update it faster when they can verify the info against your tax documents. Also, if you worked remotely or split time between offices, make sure to clarify which location you were primarily assigned to - that's usually what matters for the claim. The good news is this type of correction rarely delays payments once it's fixed. You should be all set! Keep us posted on how it goes! 🤞

Just wanted to add another option that worked for me - I actually faxed a correction letter to EDD with my paystub attached showing the correct address. It took about a week to process, but it got updated without having to deal with the phone system at all. The fax number is 1-916-464-3343. I included my SSN, claim number, the incorrect info, and what it should be corrected to. Sometimes the old-school methods work when the phones are impossible! Worth trying if you can't get through by calling. Good luck! 🤞

I just went through this exact same situation a couple months ago! My employer has offices in both Oakland and San Francisco, and EDD had the wrong one listed. Here's what worked for me: I called EDD at exactly 8:00 AM and got through after about 45 minutes (which is pretty good for EDD standards!). The rep told me these mix-ups are super common with multi-location companies and she fixed it immediately over the phone. She even told me that as long as it gets corrected before your interview, it won't delay your payments at all. I'd recommend having your correct work address, employee ID if you have it, and maybe a paystub or W-2 that shows the right location ready when you call. Also during my phone interview, I mentioned the correction right at the beginning just to make sure they had the updated info - the interviewer was totally understanding about it. Don't stress too much, this is definitely fixable! The system updated within 24 hours for me. You've got this! 💪

Hey James! I actually had this exact same issue about 6 months ago with my employer who had offices in both San Diego and Riverside. EDD had listed the wrong location on my claim letter too. Here's what I did that worked: I called EDD right at 8:00 AM sharp (literally had my finger ready to dial) and surprisingly got through in about an hour. The rep I spoke with said address mix-ups with multi-location employers happen all the time and it's usually a quick fix. She corrected it immediately over the phone and gave me a confirmation number. Make sure you have: - The correct employer address written down clearly - Your employee ID number if you have it - A recent paystub or W-2 showing the right location - Your hire date and supervisor's name just in case The change showed up in my online account within 48 hours, and when I had my phone interview the following week, I mentioned the address correction right at the beginning. The interviewer was totally understanding and noted it in my file. Don't worry - this won't delay your benefits as long as you get it sorted out. The system is used to these kinds of corrections. You got this! Keep us posted on how it goes! 🤞

I went through something very similar last year! My company had offices in both Modesto and Merced, and EDD somehow got the addresses mixed up on my claim. What really helped me was calling EDD's technical support line (1-800-300-5616) instead of the main number - sometimes it's less busy and they can transfer you to the right department faster. When I finally got through, the rep fixed it in about 5 minutes and explained that these mix-ups are super common with employers who have multiple locations. She told me to always mention any corrections at the start of my phone interview just to be safe. Also, if you have any employment verification letter or offer letter that shows the correct Sacramento office address, definitely have that ready when you call. The whole thing was way less stressful than I thought it would be once I actually got someone on the phone. Don't let the horror stories scare you too much - most of the time these corrections are pretty straightforward! Good luck! 🍀
