How to cancel EDD UI claim to file for disability instead? Urgent help needed

Thanks for the detailed advice! Did you have any trouble getting through on the phone? I've been trying for days with no luck 😫

Oh yeah, getting through is the worst part. I had to call like 50 times before I got through. Try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes that works better.

This is solid advice. I'd add: document EVERYTHING. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. You might need it later if there's any confusion.

Great tips! I would also suggest considering reaching out to a local advocate or legal aid service for additional support if you're struggling.

I tried that but it didn't work for me. The website kept giving me an error. Guess I'm stuck with calling 😞

Classic EDD. Their website is about as useful as a chocolate teapot 🍫☕

You might want to try different browsers or clearing your cache. Sometimes tech compatibility can be an issue.

3 months?? That's insane! I hope you get it sorted soon 😔

Same boat here. 4 months and counting. At this point, I'm considering a seance to contact EDD 👻📞

It's a difficult wait, but try checking if there are any updates online or through different EDD contact numbers.

For real tho. My blood pressure spikes every time I see an EDD envelope in the mail 📬😰

Sign me up! We can all scream into the void together 😩

Sharing experiences and support can be incredibly helpful. You're not alone in this!

I feel your frustration, but sometimes understanding how the system works can make navigating it a bit easier.

Thanks for the encouragement! This thread has been super helpful. Gonna try calling again tomorrow 🤞

Persistence is key! Wishing you the best of luck in getting this resolved soon.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that. How do I find out who my rep is?

Just google '[your city] state representative'. They usually have a constituent services office that can help with stuff like this. They've saved my butt more than once!

Contacting local representatives can indeed be effective. It's amazing how a little political leverage can sometimes expedite these processes.

Preach! 🙌 I swear they make it complicated on purpose. Like, do they want us to give up or what?

Ikr? Sometimes I think they have a dartboard with 'Approve' and 'Deny' and just throw darts to decide our fate 🎯😂

I agree it's frustrating, but sometimes patience and persistence are rewarded. Have you tried visiting in person?

Idk man, sounds risky. Don't wanna get accused of fraud or something 😬

Terrible advice. That's a one-way ticket to Audit City, population: you. 🚫🙅‍♀️

It's crucial to actively manage your claims and avoid potential legal issues. Always better to be proactive in these situations.

Thanks for breaking this down so clearly. It's great to have all these suggestions consolidated in one place.

That's frustrating, but persistence is key. It's also helpful to have a list of questions ready to make the most of your call.

True, but that doesn't mean we can't criticize and try to improve it. We deserve better!

Found the EDD employee 👀

Valid point. While improvements are necessary, appreciating the system's existence can provide some perspective.

Bruh 💀 EDD would come for your kneecaps so fast

lmao imagine thinking you could outsmart the government. They always get their money back... with interest 😭

It's never worth the risk to try and game the system. Integrity is key when it comes to claims like these.

omg what year is it? 1995? 😂 but honestly, might be crazy enough to work

Instructions unclear. Faxed my sandwich to EDD. Still no response. 🥪📠

A fax might actually do the trick, especially if other methods aren't working. Always good to try all avenues.

Smart tactic! Just be sure to be polite and explain your situation clearly when you reach someone.

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

Totally get the skepticism, but it's legit. I was desperate and took a chance. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

$20 to skip the hold time? Sign me up! 🏃‍♂️💨 EDD owes me way more than that for all the stress they've caused lol

While it's great there's a service like Claimyr, always ensure you're comfortable with third-party services handling sensitive information.
