r/Edd

I goofed and didn't realize I was supposed to support Doordash earnings. Once I realized the mistake I contacted EDD UI right away. I filled out the eligibility questionnaire and dated back my earnings from Doordash (I never made more than $100 a week from it). I doordashed from the end of July to mid Sept and reported all of that on the questionnaire. What is the likelihood that I will be disqualified from UI because of this? I'm an anxious mess and my benefits were covering my rent.

I had my interview yesterday. Today I got a message saying they had sent a letter in the mail with their decision. I went on myEDD and it says payment is pending. so that means I got approved or theres a big chance it will change to disqualified?

I attempted to file for SDI for my maternity leave/recovery period online and received an error message. I could not get through to speak to anyone to resolve the error for a long time and had to contact my assembly person’s office for assistance. In the meantime I ordered the form to apply by paper and was sent the incorrect form so I had an additional waiting period for the correct form. When I finally got in contact with a person from EDD about the error code, I was informed that the likely reason was someone had stolen my SSN and that I should apply by mail.

I applied for SDI by mail and received a notice of computation stating I had no wages. I received a second notice with my correct wages a few days later but still nothing had processed. At this point I was financially desperate and my disability had been signed off as done by my doctor, so I submitted a PFL application.

I was able to get through to EDD using EDDCaller today to ask about what was going on with my SSN and SDI claim. The person I spoke to told me he couldn’t help me with my claim because I had filed for Unemployment. I have never filed for unemployment. When I told him that was incorrect and asked him what my next steps would be, he said “this isn’t a conversation” and hung up on me. I called back using EDD Caller again and the second person I spoke to told me I could not have an open SDI claim and an open PFL claim (my bad for misunderstanding that I could not send the PFL application when my disability ended). When I asked for clarity about the Unemployment claim, she said I couldn’t apply for all three. I told her I didn’t and I wanted to know what I needed to do since it wasn’t my claim and she said I can’t be disabled and unemployed. I told her I understand that, this was not a claim I made and I’m looking for what to do next to resolve the issue. She then said “you’re not listening, you get no money, stop crying, I’m ending this call”

I am at a loss for how to move forward and shocked at how I was spoken to by these EDD employees. I understand it must be hard to answer calls all day since the phone line is always at capacity, but to be told that they would not help me or answer my questions is just really shocking.

Has anyone had any problems with getting through an appeal process C.U.A.B ???
It has taken three months for me to get an appointment and when I do have an appointment today, they never answered the call

Been active and approved for nearly 2.5 weeks now - have not recieved a single payment. Finally recieved a letter 3 days ago stating the payments started but they need me to call and give more info before it’s finalized. I’ve called thousands of times per day and even paid for a service to call on my behalf. and I still have not been able to get through to anybody. I’m only on family leave for a month but I think it’s to the point where I don’t know if I’ll ever get paid or if I’ll just have to be backpay eventually.

Does anyone have any tips?

Hello,

My husband was denied Paid Family Leave and we are appealing. I am the recipient of care and I am being asked to upload part C as part of the appeal process. I have it filled out but for the life of me cannot figure out how or where to upload it. Does anyone have any help out there?

Hi everyone,
My husband is currently receiving SDI due to a back injury. He received a letter for an IME appointment, in which he went and was told by the IME doctor he will be extended until December. This was on 9/17. The IME doctor’s office states they are required by EDD to mail in the paperwork confirming his extension to EDD’s P.O. Box, and that it was “mailed” the same week he visited the office. However, every rep at EDD my husband has spoke to has stated that EDD has not received it. My husband asked they submit in online, in which the office is certain they are not allowed to.
Furthermore, this office has google reviews of very similar cases happening, where the office does not provide documentation of extensions for SDI recipients.

Is there anything my husband can do to help get his extension? He is stressed and dealing with his health issue not allowing him to work. He has called each party about 5 times now and when EDD attempts to call the IME provider’s office, they do not answer. Everyone is telling him to wait, but we are concerned his claim will be discontinued.

Hi, all. Looking for some clarity/advice here. I was laid off from my marketing job in June 2026 and have been receiving UI benefits since. I took the RESEA training in July and decided to pursue a medical assistant training program nearby that is on the approved list for CalJOBS and EDD. I visited a local AJCC, and they are helping me get the training paid for, but my question is: Will I be eligible for a training benefit extension? I did notify EDD before my 16th week of benefits that I was working with AJCC to secure funding for an approved-list training program. What is the likelihood I'll be approved for extended benefits while in training, which ends in May 2027? Any help or insight would be appreciated. :)
