I know it sounds like I’m picking on the EDD but for fucks sake…<\/p>\n

I Just got a bunch more paperwork from EDD. all of the paperwork has the same phone numbers on it.<\/p>\n

The real crack-up is that one of the documents is a confirmation of PIN number request.<\/p>\n

This one says “If you did not request a PIN Immediately call 1-800-300-5616 (English)”<\/p>\n

This is the number that I’ve been dialing for the past 6 hours<\/span><\/strong> trying to get hold of a human being to find out what the hell is happening with my EDD claim and depending on those answers to potentially report fraud<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Of EVEN more amusement is that My Social Security number, phone number, and address are all over these EDD forms.<\/p>\n

Which means that if one of these pieces of mail was to end up in someone else’s mailbox. It would be THE EDD that exposed me to complete identity theft.<\/p>\n

I swear I can’t even believe the complete and utter incompetence I’m seeing. If someone was to call and use the automated system to change my mailing address they’d be able to take my unemployment payments and at the same time they’d be able to use my social security number at a hospital, or employer, or to buy a car or to open credit cards.<\/p>\n

All of this thanks to the State of California.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why the FUCK do we bother shredding every piece of paper, fighting to protect our privacy when BIG FUCKING BROTHER has no problem violating every rule in the book?<\/p>\n

HIPPA regulations, which are enforced by the state PREVENT the exposure of this kind of personally identifiable information.<\/p>\n

So why would the fucking Employment Development Department turn around and just publish this stuff on every single document they send out?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
