Here's a comprehensive guide to troubleshooting EDD technical issues: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try a different browser or device 3. Check for system maintenance schedules on the EDD website 4. Make sure all your personal info is up to date in your account 5. Double-check that you're using the correct login credentials 6. If you get an error code, write it down and search the EDD FAQ for solutions 7. Try filing during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) 8. If all else fails, you'll need to contact EDD directly. Options include: - Phone (be prepared for long wait times) - Email (responses can take weeks) - Social media (Twitter seems to be most responsive) - Contact your local assembly member's office for assistance Remember to document all your attempts to file and any communication with EDD. This can be crucial if you need to appeal or prove that you've been trying to file. Good luck!

lmao good luck. EDD is a joke. I've been trying to get my claim sorted for 6 months now. The whole system needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch 🤡

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with this system for years, and here's what I've learned: • Always document everything. Keep a record of who you talked to, when, and what they said. • If possible, use the online portal for simple updates. It's often faster than calling. • If you must call, do it early in the morning or late in the evening. Hold times are usually shorter. • Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times to get the right person who can actually help. • If all else fails, reach out to your local representative. They often have direct lines to the department. Remember, the system is designed to be complicated. Don't get discouraged, just keep pushing through. You got this! 💪

Anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel trying to deal with this stuff? 🤡

LPT: Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every interaction. You never know when you'll need to prove you've been trying to resolve an issue.

guys i just got through after trying for 2 weeks straight. keep at it, it IS possible!

Ugh, I remember going through this last year. It's so stressful! Sending you good vibes, OP. Hope you get some answers soon!

Not to be that guy, but did you double-check that you submitted all the required documents? I thought my app was in limbo, turns out I forgot to attach one form 🤦‍♂️

Pro tip: If you're trying to reach a specific department, try these menu options when you call: 1. Press 1 for English 2. Press 1 for claim questions 3. Press 2 for employer questions 4. Enter your social security number 5. Press 1 to confirm This usually gets me to a human faster. Hope it helps!

Have you considered reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push your claim through faster. Worth a shot if you're really stuck!

lol welcome to SDI hell. grab a seat, we'll be here a while 🤡

Has anyone tried faxing their docs instead of mailing? I heard it might be faster but idk

I'm convinced the EDD is run by a bunch of sloths on vacation. How hard is it to pick up a phone? 🦥☎️

Serious question: has anyone successfully scheduled their independent medical examination? If so, how long did the whole process take from start to finish? I'm trying to plan my life here and this uncertainty is killing me.

Pro tip: if you get a unhelpful agent, hang up and try again. Some are way more knowledgeable than others.

Anyone else feel like they're playing unemployment roulette? 🎰 Never know if you're gonna hit the jackpot (aka actually get your benefits) or go broke trying 😅

Pro tip: if u can, try calling right when they open. I got through faster that way. Also, be super nice to the person who answers. They deal with angry people all day, so a little kindness goes a long way!

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just learn to code? 💻🤔

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down dates, times, and details of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Send a certified letter explaining that you never received their original letter. Request that they reopen your case. 3. Contact your local representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. 4. If all else fails, consider seeking legal advice. Many lawyers offer free consultations for these types of cases. Don't give up! The system is designed to be frustrating, but you have rights. Keep pushing until you get a resolution.

have u tried faxing them? sometimes old school methods work better lol
