Share your EDD stories and troubles here. You are not alone!

Why I started this site.

Hello,
This site was inspired by my bad experiences with the CA Employment Development Department in 2009-2010. I work in construction and was working on an off throughout the year. It was during this time that I learned just how messed up the whole system is.

We've all known people who continuously abuse the system and have been for years. What I didn't know is that the system actually caters to these people. Once they get into the system it is so easy just to stay there and collect money. If you are like me and the tens of thousands of others out there who are actively looking to work (even if its temp or part time), or improving yourself by going to school, or starting a business, then you are in for a rude awakening.

I was on a website the other day where people where talking about their horror stories dealing with the EDD. Their stories were actually so much worse than mine; it is truly maddening. After reading their stories, I thought it would be great to have a safe, anonymous place where people can vent their frustrations and maybe share some tips on dealing with them. Share your stories here and they will appear below.
Thank you and good luck!

The resources page is now live but still under construction.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Has Anyone Ever Had Their Money Show Up On A Saturday?

I am just writing this in hopes of getting any feedback on whether I should bother to wait up tonight to see if my deposit gets credited, or if I have to wait till (ugh) Tuesday morning. I am at the point that I don't think I will ever get paid, but I did send a claim form over two weeks ago for the period ending Jan 7 and still am trying to have a tiny bit of hope that I will be paid. Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks

Your estimated wait time is: TWO MINUTES

And after two minutes of elevator music THEY FUCKING HUNG UP ON ME!!!! 6 hours of constant calling later I give up again, brain matter bleeding out my ears.

OUt of work School Teacher

Hi, My name is Ryan. I have been working here and there doing security work, part time teaching, pulling weeds for people off craigslist, moving yards of gravel for old people. Waiting for some miracle job to pop up on my online job boards. I have 42,000 in student loans. Gonna take another 15,000. Why? Why should I? What a waste of my life. I have friends that never went to college and secured themselves in their jobs while I was studying away. Thinking \"one day I will have a bread winning position.\" Thinking one day \"all this school is going to pay off.\" Eight years later (and a masters degree) the economic recession hit me. Like a ton of bricks. I have been tossed to this part of California that part etc. Driving three hours from my brothers house to drop off applications. Making sure I only put in 20 dollars worth of gas afraid to spend more because edd is so unreliable with their deposits! I am fed up!

Higher Claims for January

I just got off the phone with my district assemblyman's office. They were checking to see if I received my money. The rep did some research and she said this month there has been an increase in unemployment claims so they are seriously backed up. More people are becoming laid off and I guess January was hit pretty hard. I wonder if California will experience a major mass exodus if the rate remains stagnant for the next few years.
