Need help with EDD appeal process - what should I expect?
Hey everyone, I'm dealing with an EDD appeal and I'm not sure what to do next. Has anyone gone through this process before? Any advice on how to handle it or what to expect? I'm feeling pretty lost and could use some guidance.

I went through an EDD appeal last year. It can be a bit overwhelming, but don't worry! Here's what you need to know: • First, make sure you have all your documentation in order. This includes any correspondence from EDD, pay stubs, and any other relevant paperwork. • Write a clear, concise statement explaining why you believe the EDD's decision was incorrect. Be specific and provide evidence to support your case. • Submit your appeal on time! You usually have 30 days from the date of the decision to file your appeal. • Consider getting legal help. There are some non-profit organizations that offer free or low-cost assistance with EDD appeals. • Be prepared for a hearing. You'll have a chance to present your case to an Administrative Law Judge. • Stay patient. The process can take several weeks or even months. Hang in there! It's a tough process, but many people successfully win their appeals. Good luck!

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! It's really helpful to have a roadmap of what to expect. Do you have any recommendations for those non-profit orgs that help with appeals?

Sure thing! Legal Aid at Work and the Unemployment Law Project are good places to start. They often have resources or can point you in the right direction for your specific situation.

This is great advice! I'd add that you should practice your testimony before the hearing. It helped me feel more confident when I had to present my case.

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD! I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit? Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it's 100% legit. I was desperate and took a chance. Saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo.

I've used it too! Can confirm it works. Felt like magic when my phone rang and it was actually an EDD rep on the line 🤯

pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your interactions with EDD. dates, times, names of reps you talk to, etc. it'll help your case if things get messy

Has anyone tried contacting their local state representative for help with EDD issues? I've heard they can sometimes intervene and speed things up.

How do you even find out who your local rep is? 🤔

Just google '[your city] state representative' - should pop right up. Most have contact forms on their websites for constituents.
