EDD refund for purged disqualifications - how to proceed?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my EDD claim. I need to get a refund for some disqualifications that were purged. Has anyone gone through this process before? I'm not sure how to proceed or who to contact. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it might be faster.

What year is it? 1995? Who even has a fax machine anymore? πŸ˜‚

I've read some comments online that faxing does work for some. Maybe there are online services that can fax for you if you don't have a machine?

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's so frustrating. Feels like we're just numbers to them, not real people struggling to make ends meet. Hang in there. πŸ’ͺ

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite EDD issues. Worth a shot!

I hadn't thought of that. Do you know how I can find my assembly member's contact info?

Just google "[your city] assembly member". Their office should have a contact form or phone number. Good luck!

Refunds for purged disqualifications can be tricky. Here's what I know based on my experience and research: 1. First, make sure the disqualifications were actually purged. Check your online account or any recent mail from EDD. 2. If confirmed, you'll need to speak with an EDD representative. They don't have a specific "refund" department, so any claims specialist should be able to help. 3. Prepare all relevant documentation: claim numbers, dates of disqualifications, any correspondence about the purge, etc. 4. When you get through, explain clearly that you're seeking a refund for purged disqualifications. They may need to transfer you to a higher-tier specialist. 5. Be patient. The process can take several weeks, even after you've spoken with someone. 6. If you're not getting anywhere, consider filing a formal appeal or contacting your local assembly member for assistance. 7. Keep detailed records of all your communications with EDD. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! πŸ’ͺ

Adding to this, documenting your experiences and steps taken can also help if you need to take your issue further or prove your case.

For those seeking assistance with their EDD claims, services like Claimyr can be incredibly useful, especially when traditional methods of contacting EDD prove ineffective. The tool automates the process of navigating the phone menu and getting through to a live representative, effectively reducing the time spent on hold. However, it's crucial to weigh the benefits against the cost, considering it charges $20 for this service. For those willing to spend a bit for efficiency, it could be a viable solution. On the other hand, reaching out to local assembly members or using the faxing method are alternatives that have helped others in the past. Regardless of the method you choose, patience and persistence remain key in dealing with EDD issues. Documenting every interaction and keeping detailed records will also support your case if escalation becomes necessary.

I found a method to 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. (https://claimyr.com

Sounds sketchy. Is it legit? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

Can you give more details about how it works? I'm desperate but wary of scams.

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. Saved me hours of frustration. You pay, they call EDD, and when an agent picks up, they connect you. Simple and worth it IMO.

I've heard about Claimyr from a friend too. Apparently, it drastically reduces wait times, especially during peak hours. Just wish it wasn't so pricey.

Have you checked if your disqualifications were actually eligible for purging? Not all disqualifications can be purged. Make sure you're not wasting your time chasing a refund you might not be entitled to.

Good point. It’s critical to double-check the eligibility criteria to avoid unnecessary hassle.

Guys, I think we're all missing the bigger picture here. The whole system is broken. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get what we're entitled to. Time for some serious reform!

100% agree. We need to start contacting our representatives and demanding change.

Public pressure and raising awareness are the first steps. Organizing or joining campaigns for reform can amplify our voices.

Pro tip: if you call right when they open, you have a better chance of getting through. Set your alarm and be ready to dial at 8:00:01 AM!
