Just a heads up, if you do end up having to repay, make sure you get documentation of everything. I paid mine off and then six months later they tried to say I still owed. Thank god I kept all my receipts!

This happened to me last year and I was freaking out! Here's what worked for me: 1) Don't panic - these things can often be resolved, 2) Gather all your paperwork (benefit statements, work search logs, everything), 3) Call the overpayment department specifically (different from regular EDD line), and 4) If you can't afford to pay back immediately, ask about hardship options. In my case, it turned out I had reported my part-time work correctly but their system had a glitch. Took 3 months to fix but they eventually cleared it. Good luck! 🤞

UPDATE: I talked to my HR department and they confirmed they had me coded as an Ohio employee even though I've been working in their California office for 6 years! They're fixing it in their system and providing me with a letter explaining the error. I'm also gathering all my pay stubs and W2s to upload to EDD. I also used Claimyr to get through to EDD (after trying for 3 days on my own with no luck). The agent was able to see that my claim is still with the auditor but added notes about the payroll error and flagged it for review. They said with the employer's letter, they should be able to process my claim within 2 weeks. Fingers crossed this gets resolved soon. I'll post another update when I hear more. Thank you all for your help!

Wow, what a journey you've been through! Your experience really highlights how important it is to stay persistent and get the right people involved. I'm dealing with a similar multi-state employment issue right now (different situation but same frustration with the system), and your step-by-step approach gives me hope. The fact that your HR department was able to identify and fix the coding error so quickly once you contacted them shows how crucial that step was. And using Claimyr to actually reach a specialist who could add notes to your file - that's exactly the kind of actionable progress that makes a difference. Two weeks sounds much more reasonable than the indefinite waiting you were facing before. Thanks for sharing your update and for following the advice from everyone here. It's going to help so many people who find themselves in similar situations. Please do keep us posted on the final resolution!

Hey, just wondering if you got this sorted out? I'm having the same issue and could use some advice if you found a solution!

I ran into the E324 error a few months ago and it was a nightmare! What finally worked for me was making sure my address EXACTLY matched what was on file with Social Security Administration, not just the DMV. Even things like "Street" vs "St" or apartment formatting can cause this error. Also, try using Internet Explorer or Edge if you're on Chrome/Firefox - their old system seems to work better with older browsers sometimes. The whole process is frustrating but don't give up!

Pro tip: If you haven't heard anything after 3 weeks, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite things!

I'm currently waiting on my SDI claim too and it's been about 10 days since they received it. From what I'm seeing here, sounds like I'm still within the normal timeframe. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences - it helps to know what to expect! @Connor Richards, hope you hear back soon!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD. Worth a shot if you're having trouble.

I switched mine about 6 weeks ago and it took roughly 3 weeks to go into effect. One thing I wish someone had told me - make sure to screenshot or save confirmation of your direct deposit info submission because their system doesn't always keep good records. Also, don't throw away any checks you receive during the transition period until you're 100% sure direct deposit is working. The timing can be a bit unpredictable, but once it kicks in, it's so much more convenient than waiting for checks in the mail!
