EDD says max benefits paid but claim < 1 year old. Help!

Ugh, classic EDD nonsense. I swear they just throw darts at a board to decide who gets benefits 🎯 Have you tried calling them? Be prepared to spend your whole day on hold tho

I had the exact same issue! Turns out there was a glitch in their system that was incorrectly calculating benefit periods. You need to speak to a tier 2 representative to get it fixed. Don't let them brush you off with a generic response.

Hey guys, I found a method that actually works 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.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your claim documents, including the notice you received. 2. Write a clear, concise appeal letter explaining why you believe you're still eligible. 3. Include any supporting evidence (pay stubs, employment dates, etc.) 4. Submit your appeal ASAP - there's usually a deadline. 5. Keep calling until you get through to a rep who can flag your account for review. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes expedite EDD issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

am i the only 1 who thinks the whole system is rigged? 🤔 like they make it impossible on purpose so ppl just give up

Have you checked if you qualify for a claim extension? Sometimes they don't automatically apply it and you have to request it specifically.

OMG I'm literally dealing with the exact same thing rn! Filed in November, got the same notice last week. This thread is giving me life 😭 We're all in this sinking ship together I guess
