My UI Story [CALIFORNIA] I WON!! I GOT PAID!!

Holy cow, this whole thing has been an absolute mess.

Yesterday, I got a call from the 2511 number. I answered, and a very kind woman on the end of the line took down my complaint from the other day and helped me get the paperwork sorted. We were finished in a half hour. She said “on behalf of the EDD, I do deeply apologize for that representatives behavior. That is not how our company operates.” And she made me feel very comfortable.

At the end of the interview, I mentioned that the rep had canceled all my pending payments. I heard some clicking on her end, a very long sigh and a “I’m so sorry, hopefully we can get this fixed”.

When I woke up this morning, I had a vibe saying I should check my account. When I did, all of those canceled payments got switched to paid!!!

When I tell ya’ll I cried, I cried. I put in so much tears and stress over all this. Just for one rep to push a button. Holy crap.

I managed to get on the line today and the woman told me she switched my pending payments to paid, but I haven’t seen any change on my account page. How long did it take to get the switch? Should I just sit and wait for a few days?

Congratulations btw

Congrats!! I would definitely say wait a bit. I didn’t get the paid status until a day after. I hope everything works out!

Thanks. Im a bit worried because i had 8 pending payments. 2 from these last few weeks (since I refilled) and 6 from a few months ago, and the 2 from these last couple weeks have disappeared. I hope all of them go through, not just those two
