Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there's more info there that doesn't show up in the letters.

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!

anyone else notice that the edd website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🤔 sus af

Pro tip: If you're missing payments for specific days, make sure you reported your income correctly for those weeks. Even a small mistake can hold up your whole claim.

Man, EDD is such a joke these days. I've been waiting on my claim for 3 months now. It's like they're playing games with our lives 🤡

Quick question - did you certify for your weeks on time? Sometimes if you certify late, it can delay the payment.

SDI is the worst! I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming. Solidarity, OP. Don't give up!

Hey, former EDD employee here. While I can't comment on your specific case, I can give some general advice: 1. Make sure all your medical documentation is up to date and clearly states your limitations. 2. If you haven't already, file for a SDI appeal. This can sometimes speed up the process. 3. Be persistent but polite when dealing with staff. We're overworked and understaffed, but we do want to help. 4. If you're really stuck, consider contacting your state representative. They can sometimes cut through red tape. Good luck!

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' our paperwork? 🤔 I swear it's a tactic to delay payments.

Hey OP, what kind of disability claim did you file? Sometimes the type of claim can affect processing time.

Quick question - did you make sure all your medical certification was submitted correctly? That held up my claim for weeks until I realized my doctor hadn't sent in the right form.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just go back to work instead of relying on the government 🤷‍♂️

Quick question for those who've been through this: do they backpay for the weeks you were waiting? Or do you just lose out on that money?

Anyone else feel like theyre playing SDI roulette? Some people get approved right away, others wait months. Makes no sense 🎰🤷‍♂️

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a mix-up with my paperwork. When I finally got through to someone, they fixed it in like 5 minutes. Keep trying!

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling one of the EDD's auxiliary numbers (like the employer line) and ask to be transferred. Worked for me!

has anyone else noticed that the unemployment website is always down for "maintenance" when you need it most? 🙃

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your communications with them. Dates, times, who you spoke to, what was said. It's saved my butt more than once when there were discrepancies!
