EDD questionnaire about firing 2 weeks ago, now eligibility issues. What to expect when calling?
I got a questionnaire from EDD about 2 weeks ago asking why I was fired. I filled it out and sent it back, but now they're saying there's an issue with my eligibility. I'm not sure what to do next. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I expect when I call them?

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!

Yep, seconding this. Also, write down everything you tell them during the call. You might need it later if theres any discrepancies.

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

Sounds sketchy. Is it legit?

Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo

How long did it take for them to call you back?

It took about 2 hours for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still way better than trying to call yourself

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

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.
