Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're playing 4D chess and we're playing checkers. 🤔

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes speed things up.

have u tried faxing them? i know it sounds like were back in the stone age but sometimes old school methods work best with government agencies lol

This happened to me too! Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting claims extended within certain dates. Keep bugging them and eventually they'll sort it out. Took me about 3 weeks of pestering them tho 😩

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI claims: 1. Be patient. Unfortunately, the process can take time. 2. Double-check all your information. Any small error can cause delays. 3. Keep all your documents organized and easily accessible. 4. If possible, use their online portal. It's often faster than mail. 5. If you need to call, try early in the morning or late in the afternoon. 6. Don't be afraid to follow up if it's been more than 2 weeks without any update. 7. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office if you're really stuck. They can sometimes help expedite things. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same boat.

have u tried sacrificing a goat to the SDI gods? heard that speeds things up 🐐🔮

Consejo pro: Asegúrate de mencionar cualquier fecha límite importante cuando hables con un agente. A veces eso puede ayudar a priorizar tu caso. Buena suerte!

He estado lidiando con el EDD durante meses y he aprendido algunas cosas que podrían ayudar: • Asegúrate de que todos tus documentos estén completos y legibles • Llama temprano en la mañana, justo cuando abren • Si te dicen que esperes, pide hablar con un supervisor • Documenta todas tus interacciones (fechas, nombres de agentes, etc.) • Considera contactar a tu representante estatal si el problema persiste Recuerda, la persistencia es clave. No te rindas!

Pro tip: If you're having trouble with the online application, try using a different browser. For some reason, it worked better for me in Firefox than Chrome.

Does anyone know if gig work counts towards the earnings requirement? I did some freelancing last year but im not sure if that qualifies

Ive been wating 8 weeks for my claim to be processed. This whole system is a joke. We need to bombard our representatives with complaints!

Hey, don't lose hope! I know it sucks rn, but keep pushing. I finally got my issue resolved after 6 weeks of back and forth. Stay strong! 💪

guys i heard theres a glitch in the system causing delays. my cousin works for edd and said theyre working on fixing it but it might take a few more days

This is getting ridiculous. We need to organize and demand better from EDD. Who's with me? 💪

I feel for you, OP. The disability system is a nightmare to navigate. Have you checked if there are any local advocacy groups that might be able to help? Sometimes they have insider knowledge or connections.

Pro tip: if you do get through, ask for a direct extension or email for follow-ups. It can save you from having to go through this whole process again.

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative? I've heard some people have had luck getting things moving that way.

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by squirrels and they lost your claim in their acorn stash. 🐿️

Here's a pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. I usually have better luck getting through that way. And make sure you have all your info ready before you call!

Have you checked your mail? Sometimes they send these forms through snail mail even if you're enrolled in online services. Might be worth double-checking your mailbox!
