EDD wants me to reopen claim right after approval - system error?

same thing happnd to me last month! so annoying lol. dont reopen it tho, its a system glitch. EDD computers r so messed up

This is actually a common EDD system issue that happens when there's a timing overlap between your initial claim processing and the certification periods being established. Here's what you should do: 1. Do NOT click "reopen claim" as this can create complications in your existing claim 2. Wait 24-48 hours and check again - the system often corrects itself during overnight updates 3. If the message persists after 48 hours, contact EDD directly Your claim is still valid since you received payment. The system sometimes displays this message erroneously when your certification schedule is being established in the database. Just be patient and keep checking back.

EDD SYSTEMS ARE THE WORST!!! I had this EXACT problem in February and ended up waiting on hold for 3+ HOURS only to have them tell me it was "just a glitch" and I didn't need to do anything. Meanwhile I was having panic attacks thinking my benefits would stop. They seriously need to fix their ancient computer systems!!

Nope, payments kept coming normally once it sorted itself out. Just caused me a ton of stress for nothing!

I actually recommend using Claimyr when you need to reach EDD about these technical glitches. I was getting the same "reopen claim" message last month despite having an active claim. Spent days trying to get through on my own with no luck. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got connected to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes who fixed it right away. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Really saved me from the frustration of constant busy signals.

The system says reopen claim when there's a gap between your approval and when the certification weeks become available in the system. I deal with UI all the time for my clients and here are the possibilities: 1. If you've received a payment already, your claim is active, not closed 2. Sometimes UI Online shows outdated status until their overnight batch process runs 3. The message might appear if your certification weeks aren't ready yet Just check your Certification section - does it show any weeks available to certify? If not, give it 2-3 days for the system to update. The reopen claim message should disappear once your certification weeks are properly loaded.

im sooooo confused about all this edd stuff too lol... my cousin's boyfriend got the same message but he just waited and then it let him certify like normal the next week. i think their computers are just really old or something???

hey did ur problem get fixed yet?? curious what happened
