3 weeks since filing claim, no update. Anyone else waiting this long for EDD?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for 5 weeks now and still nothing. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? That's what I'm gonna do next week if I don't hear anything.

3 weeks? That's nothing lol. I've been waiting for 2 months now. The whole system is a joke. I'm about ready to give up tbh.

Hey guys, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Be patient. The system is overwhelmed right now. 2. Double-check your application for errors. Even small mistakes can cause delays. 3. Keep all your documents organized and ready. 4. Use their online portal to check for updates if possible. 5. If you do call, be polite to the agents. They're swamped too. 6. Consider reaching out to your local representative if it's been an unusually long time. Hang in there, everyone. I know it's tough, but we're all in this together.

Has anyone else noticed that the online portal is down like half the time? It's so frustrating when I finally have time to check and I can't even log in 😤

Anyone know if there's been any news about speeding up the process? I heard they were hiring more people to handle claims, but idk if that's actually happening.

Just a heads up, I finally got my claim processed after 6 weeks. Don't lose hope! It's slow, but they are working through them.
