Make sure to ask about any overpayment issues. Sometimes they hold payments if they think they overpaid you before. Happened to me and took forever to sort out.

just a reminder to everyone: be nice to the reps on the phone. theyre probably just as frustrated with the system as we are. killing them with kindness usually gets better results anyway

I'm in the same boat, trying to access an old claim. Has anyone had luck requesting their records through the California Public Records Act? I've heard it's an option but haven't tried it myself.

Pro tip: If you get through to someone but they can't help, ask to speak to a Tier 2 specialist. They have more access and can usually solve trickier problems.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all show up at the EDD office in person. They can't ignore us if we're right there, right? 🤔

Hey OP, sorry youre dealing with this. Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you submitted your updated medical notice? Sometimes those get lost in the shuffle and it might explain the delay.

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's so frustrating. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. Starting to feel like I'm screaming into the void.

Pro tip: if you have a fax machine (or can use an online fax service), try faxing your inquiry. Sometimes they respond to those faster than phone calls or emails. Worth a shot!

Yo, this exact thing happend to me last month! I ended up faxing them a letter explaining the situation (yeah, fax in 2023 lol). It worked tho, they reopened my case. Might be worth a shot?

lmao edd and their 'letters' 🙄 I swear they use carrier pigeons or something. Good luck OP, you're gonna need it

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 3 months for my appeal hearing. this is fine. 🔥🐶🔥

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it sucks, but it will get resolved eventually. In the meantime, have you looked into any local food banks or assistance programs? They might be able to help tide you over while you wait.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to update our claims? the system is so broken 🤦‍♂️

Quick question - did your benefits amount change with the extension? I'm in a similar boat and wondering if I should expect any changes.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within 48 hrs after I faxed my info

SDI is such a joke rn. took me 2 months to get my first payment. system is totally borked. good luck OP, ur gonna need it 🤡

Anyone know if changing banks will delay payments? I'm switching from Wells Fargo to a local credit union.

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling one of the foreign language lines and then ask to be transfered to an english speaker. sometimes works like a charm 😉

smh EDD needs to get there act together. how r we supposed to survive when they cant even send mail right??

Plot twist: what if the mailman is secretly working for EDD to sabotage us all? 🕵️‍♂️📬
