Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Use their online portal if they have one. Sometimes it's faster than calling. 3. Be persistent. I know it sucks, but you gotta keep trying. 4. If all else fails, contact your state labor board or ombudsman. 5. Join local Facebook groups for unemployment support. Sometimes they have insider tips. Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but don't give up!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try these steps. ๐

Have you checked if theres a closer doctor in their network? Sometimes their systems mess up and assign people to the wrong area.
This happened to me last year. It took forever, but I finally got it sorted. Hang in there!
How long did it take you to resolve it?

It took about 2 months of back and forth. But I finally got assigned to a closer doctor and they backpaid me for the missed checks.

Here's a detailed guide on updating your payment info with the unemployment office: 1. Gather all necessary information: - Your Social Security Number - Your current claim ID - Your new bank account and routing numbers - A valid form of ID 2. Call the unemployment office (be prepared for a long wait) 3. When you get through, inform the agent you need to update your payment information 4. Verify your identity with the agent (they'll ask for your SSN and claim ID) 5. Provide your new banking information 6. Ask the agent to repeat the information back to you to ensure accuracy 7. Request a confirmation number or email for the change 8. Ask when the change will take effect and if it will impact your next payment 9. Thank the agent and make a note of who you spoke with Remember, patience is key. The process can be frustrating, but stay calm and polite. Good luck!
This is super helpful, thanks for taking the time to write it all out! ๐

Saving this for later. You're the real MVP ๐ฏ

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that works better than online submissions.
What year is it? 1995? ๐ But seriously, if it works, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I feel your pain, OP. The lack of communication is the worst part. It's like they don't even care that we're struggling to pay bills and put food on the table. Hang in there, hopefully things will improve soon.
Anyone else notice how they're super quick to stop payments but take forever to start them again? ๐ค

Hey OP, how long ago did you submit your appeal? There should be a timeframe they have to respond by.
I submitted it about 6 weeks ago. Still crickets ๐ฆ

Oof, yeah that's too long. Definitely time to start making some noise.

Has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? I heard sometimes that can help speed things up.
I tried last month. Waited in line for 3 hours only to be told they couldn't help me in person and I needed to call. Total waste of time.
5M
Depends on the office and who you talk to. I got lucky and found someone super helpful at my local office. YMMV
5M
pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your calls, letters, and interactions with EDD. it'll help if you need to escalate or appeal later.
Plot twist: EDD is actually run by clowns ๐คก That would explain so much lmao
Nah, that's an insult to clowns. At least clowns are trying to make people happy ๐
5M
Guys, I know it's tough but remember to be patient. EDD is dealing with unprecedented volume. They're doing their best.
Nice try, EDD employee ๐
5M
Lol I wish. At least then I'd be getting paid ๐

have u tried turning it off and on again? ๐คฃ jk jk but seriously, the system is such a joke sometimes
lmao if only it were that easy ๐
5M
I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases. Might be why it's taking so long. Doesn't make it any less frustrating tho ๐
lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy. grab a seat, you might be here a while ๐
Have you checked if there were any recent changes to the disability claim process? Sometimes they update their procedures and it can cause delays. Might be worth looking into.

I tried it last week. It's slightly better than the website, but still pretty confusing. Couldn't find specific contribution amounts tho.
