EDD Pandemic Assistance Claim Intercepting Current Benefits - Help!

Ugh, that sucks! I've been dealing with something similar. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? It's a pain, but sometimes talking to a real person is the only way to sort this stuff out.

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/7DieNd3C7zQ

This is a common issue rn. The system is overwhelmed with all the pandemic claims and regular claims getting mixed up. Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all your correspondence and claim info. 2. File an appeal if you haven't already. Even if you got a redetermination, you might need to appeal again. 3. Contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite these issues. 4. Keep certifying for benefits every week, even if you're not receiving them. 5. Check your online account regularly for any updates or requests for additional info. Hang in there, it's a frustrating process but persistence pays off!

the whole system is broken af. i've been dealing with this bs for months. good luck op, your gonna need it 🤡

Have you checked if there's an overpayment issue? Sometimes that can cause benefits to be intercepted. Might be worth looking into.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turned out there was a glitch in their system that was flagging my account incorrectly. Took forever to fix, but eventually got it sorted. Don't give up!
