Online appeal worked!!
October 20, 2009
After the dozens of failed calls to EDD, after getting hung up on every single time I thought I’d successfully navigated the phone maze, after every frantic attempt to jigger my schedule to make time for a phone interview ….
I sent a long, thorough (polite!) email through the system explaining my online classes and how they don’t interfere with my job search.
And I just got an email saying: Your online courses have been approved. The telephone interview has been cancelled. Your check will be mailed tomorrow with the subsequent claim form.
Note: Now we’ll see what the forms say, and if they make up for lost time. But in the meantime, my budget is sighing a small sigh of relief.
Whew! Glad the appeal worked (as certainly, it should have!)
Some money coming in is a whole lot better than the alternative.
That’s so great! Isn’t it lame that when something bureaucratic works as it should, we are so (pleasantly) surprised.
Awesome! EDD can be a nightmare, I didn’t know they had an online appeal option. Hopefully you won’t have any further issues with them.
Grace: Absolutely!
SP: I know, I was expecting the worst red tape …
Miss M: I’m definitely going to try and stay out of trouble with them. Head down!
[…] Result: Win. […]
