SDI overpayment offset causing payment delays - $11,681 still owed, need advice

Ugh, overpayment offsets are the worst! I've been there, took me like 2 months to sort it out. Have you tried calling EDD? Good luck getting through tho, its a nightmare 🙄

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and submissions. 2. Contact your local state representative. They can often help push things along. 3. File an appeal if necessary. You have the right to challenge any decision. 4. Be persistent. Keep calling and following up. 5. Check your UI Online account daily for updates. 6. Consider reaching out to legal aid if things don't improve. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? the systems broken af 🤡

Have you checked if theres any identity verification issues? That held up my claim for weeks. Might be worth double-checking all your docs are in order.

Overpayment offset? More like overpayment upset, amirite? 🥁😆 But seriously, hang in there OP. We're all in the same sinking boat with EDD.
