Pro tip: Set up a separate email folder for all your order confirmations and receipts. I do this and it's a lifesaver. Just automatically filter any emails with 'order' or 'receipt' in the subject line to go there. Never lose a receipt again!

If all else fails, you could try contacting their customer support directly. It might take a while, but they should be able to resend your receipt or at least give you an update on your order status. Good luck!

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try showing up in person first thing in the morning. Sometimes they keep a few slots open for walk-ins. Bring a book tho, you might be waiting a while.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of state healthcare 🤡 where the phones don't work and the appointments don't matter

Ive been waiting 6 weeks for my card. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive when they cant even mail a stupid piece of plastic? im so done with this bs

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you activate your card as soon as you get it. I made the mistake of waiting a few days and my account got flagged for fraud. Took another week to sort out. Don't be like me! 😅

Check if there's an "Ask EDD" option on your online account. You can submit questions there and sometimes get faster responses than calling.

Plot twist: what if EDD is actually run by squirrels and that's why everything takes so long? 🐿️🐿️🐿️

lol remember when they said theyd be improving the system after all the fraud stuff? yeah right 🙄

Hang in there, OP! I know it's tough, but try to stay positive. My appeal took about 2 months, but it was eventually approved. Don't lose hope! ❤️

Hey OP, don't forget to factor in any dependents you have. In some states, you can get additional benefits if you have kids or other dependents.

lol good luck. i've been waiting 3 months for them to calculate mine. the whole system is a joke 🤡

I'm in the same boat, been waiting on that form for weeks. The whole system is a joke. Anyone else think its time for a complete overhaul?

Hey OP, just a heads up - even if you get the form late, fill it out and submit it ASAP. Sometimes they're lenient if you explain the situation. Don't give up!

Guys, I think I figured out the secret code to get through the phone system! You have to press 2, then 1, then 3, then wait for the beep, then 4. It's like a video game cheat code lol

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that gets faster results than calling or uploading online.

anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get whats owed to us? the whole systems broken af

Pro tip: if you cant get through on the main line, try calling one of the other departments and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works!

Quick question - did you send your docs certified mail? That way you have proof they received them. Might help if you need to follow up.

Anyone else notice that EDD seems to be moving even slower since the pandemic? I swear it used to be better than this...
