EDD scheduling multiple eligibility interviews after each certification - normal or problem?

No, it's definitely not normal to have interviews after every certification. Typically, once your eligibility is established, you should just be able to certify and receive payments without additional interviews. Something might have triggered a flag in their system. My guess is either: 1. You accidentally answered something differently on your certification that raised a flag 2. Your employer submitted new information 3. There's a glitch in their system (wouldn't be the first time) I'd recommend calling EDD to find out what's going on rather than waiting two weeks. They might be able to clear it up immediately and release your payment.

omg this EXACT thing happened to me in january!! had an interview, got approved, then next certification BAM another interview scheduled. turned out my employer had contested the claim after initially not responding. super frustrating!! definitely call them asap

EDD is sooooo broken right now. They're still understaffed and their computer system is ancient. Multiple interviews is usually a sign that either you answered something that triggered their system OR there's a disagreement between what you reported and what your employer reported. Don't just wait around for 2 weeks!!! You need to get on the phone with them ASAP. Problem is getting through - I spent 3 days trying to reach someone and kept getting the "we're experiencing high call volume" message before being disconnected. ARGH!!! You might want to check out this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) - they have a system that helps you get through to an EDD rep without spending hours redialing. Worked for me when I had a similar issue. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Good luck and keep us posted!!

EDD claims specialist here. Having multiple consecutive eligibility interviews is uncommon but not unheard of. Here are the most likely reasons: 1. Your employer filed an appeal or contested your initial eligibility determination 2. There was an issue with wage verification that came up after your first payment 3. Something in your certification triggered an automatic review (even small inconsistencies can do this) 4. A quarterly review of your claim identified a potential issue I strongly recommend calling before your scheduled interview. The tier 1 rep might be able to see what triggered the new interview and possibly clear it without waiting. If not, they can at least tell you what documentation to have ready for your interview. Keep in mind that if you call, you'll want to do so early in the morning (8:00-8:30am) for the best chance of getting through. Be prepared for a long wait regardless.

LISTEN.....the EDD is DESIGNED to make u give up!!!! they hope that u will just stop trying to get ur benefits. they did this to me 3 TIMES last year!!!! interview after interview asking the same stuff over n over. its the EMPLOYERS who report different info to mess up ur claim dont let em get away with it

I had something similar happen and it turned out there was a simple explanation. When I called (after trying for days to get through), the rep told me that my employer had submitted additional separation information after my first interview, which triggered a follow-up interview automatically. When I asked if my payment would be held until the interview, the rep was actually able to review the new information, confirm it didn't contradict my previous statements, and release my payment on the spot. The interview was still scheduled, but at least I got paid while waiting. It's definitely worth calling - worst case scenario they tell you to wait for the interview, best case they resolve it immediately and release your funds. But be prepared to spend a good chunk of time trying to get through to someone. I started calling right when they opened and still had to try multiple times.

update??? did u get it fixed????
