Suddenly disqualified from EDD unemployment - no explanation given. What now?

Hey everyone, I just got disqualified from unemployment and I have no idea why. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do next?

Ugh, that sucks. Did you get any explanation at all? Sometimes they send a letter with the reason.

Nope, nothing. Just logged in and saw I was disqualified. No letter, no email, nada. 😤

Same thing happened to me last month! It's so frustrating when they don't even tell you why.

Wow, that's messed up. You'd think they'd at least give you a heads up or something. The system is broken af 🤦‍♂️

You need to appeal ASAP! Don't wait around. Here's what you should do: 1. File an appeal immediately. You usually have 30 days from the disqualification date. 2. Gather all your employment documents, pay stubs, and any communication with EDD. 3. Write a clear, concise statement explaining why you believe the disqualification is incorrect. 4. If possible, get a letter from your former employer supporting your case. 5. Keep calling EDD for more information. Be persistent! 6. Consider getting legal aid if you can't resolve it on your own. Remember, many disqualifications are overturned on appeal. Don't give up!

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll start working on the appeal right away. 🙏

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 about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate after trying to call for weeks. Got through in about an hour.

$20 seems steep just to make a phone call. Is it worth it?

0 coins

For me it was. I was losing way more than $20 each week I couldn't get my claim sorted. Time is money, ya know?

have you checked your spam folder? sometimes the disqualification notices end up there

This happened to me last year. Turns out they thought I hadn't provided enough job search evidence. Check if that might be the issue for you too.

Oh man, I didn't even think about that. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the tip!

Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul.

Did you miss any weekly certifications? That can sometimes trigger a disqualification.

I don't think so, but I'll double-check. Thanks for the suggestion!

Whatever you do, don't give up! I was disqualified twice before finally getting approved. It's a pain, but persistence pays off.
