Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold last week!
What time do they open? Asking for a friend ๐

Hang in there, friend. We're all in this storm together. Have you tried reaching out to a local food bank or community org for temporary help?

Has anyone else noticed that the website is down like every other weekend for "maintenance"? ๐
Quick question - do we have to report cash tips as income on our certification? I work part-time as a server and idk if I should include that
Yes, you should report all income, including cash tips. It's considered taxable income.

Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the info tho!

Have you tried logging in using a different browser or device? Sometimes that can make a difference.
OP, how long have you been waiting for the email? Sometimes it can take a while... I once waited 2 hours before it came through ๐
It's been about 3 hours now. I guess I'll keep waiting and hope for the best ๐
5M
I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for what feels like forever. This whole system is a joke. ๐คก
Preach! ๐ It's like they want us to suffer or something.

Guys, I know it's frustrating, but remember the system is overloaded. Try to be patient. We're all struggling together.

Quick question - did you have any earnings to report when you last certified? That can sometimes affect the timing of payments.
Nope, no earnings to report. I've been completely unemployed for a while now.
5M
Gotcha. Then it should be pretty straightforward. Hang in there!

Just a heads up, they changed some policies last month. Make sure you're asking about the most current rules when you call. I got caught out by this and had to call back multiple times. What a waste of time ๐
Oh no, I had no idea! Thanks for the warning. Do you know where I can find info on these new policies?
5M
Try checking their official website. They usually post updates there. If not, def ask the rep when you call. Good luck!

Hey OP, quick question - did your doctor backdate the form at all? That can sometimes affect the start date of the claim. Might be worth double-checking with your doc's office.
have u tried reaching out to ur local assembly members office? they can sometimes help speed things up w/ EDD
Plot twist: EDD is actually run by a bunch of sloths. That's why everything takes forever. ๐ฆฅ๐
LOL that actually explains so much ๐คฃ
5M
Hey now, don't insult sloths like that. They're way more efficient than EDD!

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? asking for a friend ๐
LOL more like a horror movie. The Nightmare on EDD Street ๐ฑ

Hey OP, when was your last payment? And have you had any changes to your claim recently?
Last payment was about 3 weeks ago. No changes that I know of, which is why this is so confusing!

Guys, I know it sucks but don't give up. I finally got my issues resolved after 2 months of trying. Stay persistent and document EVERYTHING.
What finally worked for you? I'm about ready to throw in the towel.
5M
Honestly? A combination of daily calls, emails, and bugging my assembly member's office. It was exhausting but it paid off.
5M
Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account first. Forms are often uploaded there. 2. If it's not there, call the claims office. Be persistent. Use the tip about calling right when they open. 3. If you can't get through, try the Claimyr service mentioned above or consider using their online contact form (though responses can be slow). 4. Double-check all your contact info is correct in their system. 5. If all else fails, contact your doctor's office. Sometimes they can request the form directly. 6. Keep a record of all your attempts to contact them. This can be useful if there are delays in your claim. 7. As a last resort, reach out to your local government representative. They often have channels to expedite these issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let your claim fall through the cracks. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! This is incredibly helpful. I'm going to start working through this list right away. ๐ฏ

This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit. So many people have this issue!
