How to reopen EDD claim after brief employment? Need advice ASAP!
Hey everyone, I need some advice. I worked for a few months after filing for unemployment, but now I'm out of work again. How do I go about reopening my claim? My last day of work was in late October. Any tips on what to say when I call?

I've been there before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your employment info from June to October 2. Call EDD and tell them you need to reopen your claim 3. Explain that you worked for a few months but are now unemployed again 4. Be prepared to provide exact start and end dates of your recent job 5. Ask if there's anything else they need from you Good luck!

•This is solid advice. I'd add: make sure you have your last paystub handy. They might ask for your earnings.

•Ugh, calling EDD is the worst. I spent hours on hold last time 😫

•True that. The hold times are brutal. Patience is key!

Quick question - did you earn enough at your recent job to qualify for a new claim? Might be worth checking before you call.

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/0UZGuPWGErg

•I wish! As far as I know, you gotta call for this one. The online system is useless for reopening claims 🙄
