idk if this helps, but I heard they're super backed up cuz of some new system update. Might be why everythings taking forever rn
Pro tip: Next time, send your docs via certified mail. At least then you'll have proof they received it. Learned that one the hard way š
This!!! š Certified mail is a lifesaver when dealing with govt agencies

Anyone know if there's a way to check the system status? Like if they're having known issues or maintenance?
Good question! I don't think they have a dedicated status page, but sometimes they post updates on their social media accounts.

Ive been dealing with this error for 3 days now. starting to lose my mind. disability office needs to get there act together
Hang in there! It's frustrating but it'll get sorted eventually. We're all in the same boat š£āāļø

Anyone else feel like we're living in a dystopian novel where we have to pay extra just to access basic government services? š¤ This is wild.
Preach! š The system is so broken

For real tho. It's like they're purposely making it difficult š

Hey OP, just went through this last month. Here's my experience: 1. Took me 3 days of calling to get through (used the claimyr service on the 3rd day) 2. Had to send in copies of my ID, old and new SS cards, and marriage certificate 3. Took about 2 weeks for the change to show up in the system 4. Had to call AGAIN to make sure my claim was updated with the new info Total pain in the butt, but doable. Hang in there!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! This is really helpful. Did you have any issues with your payments during the process?
5M
Np! My payments were on hold for about a week while they processed everything, but then they released them all at once. Just make sure to keep certifying as usual.

Hey, don't beat yourself up too much. The EDD doesn't exactly make this stuff clear. I had a similar issue last year. Keep pushing and you'll get it sorted out eventually!
Thanks for the encouragement. It's good to know I'm not alone in this!

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD.
How do you even find your local rep? asking for a friend š
5M
Just google '[your city] state representative'. Most have contact forms on their websites.

Anyone know if the new bill that just passed will help speed things up? I heard they're hiring more people to process claims.
I saw that too, but who knows how long it'll take to actually make a difference. Govt moves at a snail's pace š

Pro tip: if you can't get thru on the main line, try the employer line instead. Sometimes they'll still help claimants and the wait is usually shorter.
Anyone else feel like we're living in a kafka novel? š¤” The bureaucracy is unreal.
LOL for real. It's like they're purposely trying to make it as confusing and frustrating as possible š
5M
Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!
lol good luck. i've been trying to get my old claim reactivated for 3 months now. EDD is a joke š¤”
Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that works better than uploading online.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? š But for real, might be worth a shot at this point...
5M
lol good luck. i've been waiting 3 months for an update. SDI is where hope goes to die š
Have you tried faxing your documents? Sometimes that gets faster results than waiting for a call back. Just a thought!
What year is it? 1995? Who still uses fax lmao š¤£
5M
You'd be surprised! A lot of government agencies still rely heavily on fax. It's outdated, but sometimes it works!
5M
lol good luck. i've been trying to follow up on my claim for 3 months now. might as well be shouting into the void š£ļøš³ļø
Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses that way.
I tried tweeting at them once. They just sent me a link to their FAQ page. š Totally useless.
5M
Ugh, that sucks. I guess it's not a reliable method then. Back to the drawing board...

Guys, I've worked for the EDD (don't hate me lol). Here's the deal: recertifications can take up to 10 business days to process. If it's been longer than that, definitely follow up. And pro tip: always send important docs via certified mail so you have proof of delivery.

10 DAYS?! Some of us can't wait that long for our benefits. The system is broken af

I hear ya. It's frustrating for us too. We're understaffed and overworked. Just trying to give some insight from the other side.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out my doctor's office forgot to sign one of the forms š¤¦āāļø Might be worth double-checking all the paperwork is filled out correctly
