lol good luck getting any useful info from EDD. might as well try to teach a rock to sing 🪨🎤

Has anyone tried using the EDD mobile app? I heard they updated it recently, might be worth checking out.

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!

lol welcome to the club 🤡 been waiting 6 weeks here

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!

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!

lol good luck. i've been trying to update my address for 3 weeks now. the system is broken af 🤡

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that works better than online submissions.

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? 🤔

Hey OP, how long ago did you submit your appeal? There should be a timeframe they have to respond by.

Has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? I heard sometimes that can help speed things up.

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 🤡 That would explain so much lmao

Guys, I know it's tough but remember to be patient. EDD is dealing with unprecedented volume. They're doing their best.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk but seriously, the system is such a joke sometimes

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 😑

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy. grab a seat, you might be here a while 😂

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.
