EDD questionnaire about firing 2 weeks ago, now eligibility issues. What to expect when calling?

I found a way to solve EDD eligibility issues quickly, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKms_4WwCsc

Ugh, I've been there. EDD is such a pain to deal with. When I had to verify my eligibility, it took forever. Make sure you have all your documents ready when you call. They might ask for pay stubs, termination letter, anything related to why you were fired. Good luck!

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

Listen up, cause I've been down this road before. Here's what you need to do: • First, don't panic. This is pretty common. • Make sure you have a clear, concise explanation for why you were fired. Stick to the facts. • Gather any documentation you have about your termination. Emails, performance reviews, anything. • When you call, be polite but firm. The person on the other end is just doing their job. • Take notes during the call. Write down the name of who you spoke to and any case numbers they give you. • If they ask for additional documents, send them ASAP. Don't delay. • Follow up if you don't hear back within a week. Remember, the system is slow and frustrating, but stay persistent. You got this! 💪

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? the system is broken af 🤡

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation after you submitted the questionnaire? Might be worth checking your spam folder just in case they sent a follow-up that you missed.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a discrepancy between what I reported and what my employer reported. Double-check all your dates and amounts to make sure everything matches up.

pro tip: if u can, try calling right when they open. I got through way faster that way

Anybody else feel like we need a support group just for dealing with EDD? 😅 This stuff is stressful!
