anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? π€ its like they WANT us to fail
Preach! π I swear they make it complicated on purpose

Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The system's just outdated and underfunded.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along if you're having trouble with your claim.
I've heard rumors that they're updating the phone system soon. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?
lol yeah right. They've been saying that for years. I'll believe it when I see it.

My cousin works for the state (not EDD) and she said it's in the works, but don't hold your breath. Might be another year or two.

Hot take: what if we all just showed up at their office? They can't ignore us if we're right there, right? π
Bruh, don't give me ideas π
6M
Pretty sure that's how you end up on a list somewhere lol

im in the same boat rn. been trying to get info on my claim for weeks. edd needs to get there act together fr
Plot twist: What if we all show up at the EDD office in person? They can't ignore us then! π
Lmao imagine the chaos π Security would be like 'nope, not today' πββοΈπ¨

Guys, I'm telling you, its all about persistence. I called 37 times in one day before I got through. Yeah, it sucked, but I got my claim processed that week.
Has anyone else noticed that the "pending processing" status seems to mean different things depending on who you talk to? One rep told me it meant they were waiting on my employer, another said they were reviewing my medical docs. Can't they get their story straight? π
Classic government efficiency π /s

idk man, sounds like you might be outta luck for today. But keep trying tomorrow! Don't give up!
Have you tried reaching out to them on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there.
Wait, EDD has social media? What century are we in? π
6M
Lol yeah, they're on Twitter @CA_EDD. Sometimes they actually reply!

I swear, dealing with government forms is like playing a game where the rules keep changing and nobody tells you π Hang in there, OP!
Lol fr tho π It's like they WANT us to mess up
6M
Mood. I've been trying to sort out my claim for weeks now. It's a full-time job just dealing with the bureaucracy!

Pro tip: Take screenshots of everything you submit online and keep copies of all paper forms. You never know when you'll need to prove what you sent in. learned this the hard way π
That's a great idea, thanks! I'll definitely do that.
6M
have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the notifications end up there lol
Good idea, but I already checked. Nothing there unfortunately π
6M
Hey OP, just curious - how long did it take for you to receive that notice after you initially filed your claim?
Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open in the morning. I've had better luck that way.
This! Also, avoid calling on Mondays if you can. Those are usually the busiest days.

have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response way faster when I faxed in my documents
What year is it? 1995? π
6M
Laugh all you want, but it worked for me! π€·ββοΈ

Anyone else feel like they're playing phone tag with a ghost? I swear I've left more voicemails for EDD than I have for my own family π»π

You'd be surprised! Government agencies love their fax machines. It's like stepping into a time machine π°οΈ

This is why we need to overhaul the entire healthcare system. It's a joke that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic care.
