I'm in a similar situation - filed my claim 5 weeks ago and the silence is deafening! One thing I learned from others here is to definitely verify your doctor actually sent the paperwork AND to the correct fax number. I called my doc's office three times before they finally confirmed they had submitted it. Also, try calling EDD right at 8am when they open - I've had better luck getting through early morning. The waiting is absolutely brutal when you're counting on that money. Stay strong and keep pushing! 🤞

I'm so sorry you're going through this - the wait is absolutely nerve-wracking when you really need the money! I'm currently waiting on my claim too (7 weeks now) and here's what I've learned from this community: definitely call your doctor's office to confirm they sent the paperwork and got a confirmation. Then check your SDI Online account for any updates or missing documents. The early morning calling strategy seems to work best for reaching EDD - set an alarm for 7:55am and be ready to redial constantly when they open at 8am. Also keep track of everything (dates, who you spoke to, reference numbers) because it helps when you finally get through to someone. The system is frustrating but don't give up! We're all rooting for each other here 💪

I've heard rumors that they're updating the system soon. Supposedly it'll fix a lot of these errors. But knowing how government projects go, we'll probably all be retired by the time it's done lol

I had the exact same E324 error last week! What finally worked for me was using a completely different device (borrowed my neighbor's laptop) and making sure I was on a stable internet connection. Also, I noticed the error happened less frequently when I tried during off-peak hours like early morning around 6-7 AM. The system seems to be less glitchy then. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to file a legitimate claim, but sometimes you gotta work with what you've got. Hang in there! 💪

Have you checked if there's an option to request an extension due to extenuating circumstances? Some states offer that.

I went through something similar last year! The key is to act fast and document everything. If you still have the envelope, take a photo of the postmark to show when it was actually delivered vs when they sent it. Also, many EDD offices have a "good cause" policy for late responses due to circumstances beyond your control - being out of state when mail arrives definitely qualifies. When you do get through to someone (and you will!), emphasize that you were willing to comply but the mail delay made it impossible to meet their timeline. Don't let them intimidate you - you have rights as a claimant! 💪

This might sound weird, but have you checked your bank account? Sometimes the EDD website shows the wrong amount but the correct payment goes through. Happened to me once and I freaked out for nothing lol

I went through something similar a few months ago and it turned out to be a quarterly earnings review that triggered an automatic adjustment. EDD sometimes recalculates your benefit amount based on updated wage data from employers, but they're terrible at communicating this. Check if you received any work income in the last quarter that might have been reported late by an employer - even small amounts can trigger a recalculation. Also look for any notices in your UI Online inbox, sometimes they bury important info there. If you can't find anything obvious, definitely follow @Mateo Rodriguez's advice above - his step-by-step approach is solid. Just be patient, it can take weeks to get answers but usually there IS a reason, even if they don't tell you upfront. Keep us posted on what you find out! This stuff affects all of us.

I've been through this exact nightmare! Here's what finally worked for me after weeks of trying: First, make sure you're not using any password managers or autofill - type everything manually. Second, try accessing the site from a library computer or friend's device to rule out any issues with your specific setup. Third, check if you have any pending identity verification requirements in your account - sometimes the system throws generic error codes when it actually needs additional documentation from you. I also discovered that clearing your DNS cache can help (on Windows: open command prompt as admin and type "ipconfig /flushdns"). The EDD system is incredibly temperamental, but don't let it discourage you from getting the benefits you deserve. If nothing else works, consider visiting a local EDD office in person - sometimes that's the only way to get real help with technical issues. Keep us posted on what ends up working! 💪

I've been dealing with EDD login errors on and off for the past year, and here's what I've learned from trial and error: The most important thing is to make sure your account isn't locked due to too many failed login attempts - if you've been trying repeatedly, you might need to wait 24 hours before trying again. Also, try accessing the site using your mobile browser instead of desktop - I've noticed the mobile version sometimes works when the desktop site doesn't. Another weird trick that's worked for me: log out of ALL other government websites (like IRS, DMV, etc.) before trying EDD - sometimes there are session conflicts between different state systems. If you're still stuck, document everything - screenshot the error codes, note the exact time you tried, and what browser you used. This info will be super helpful when you do get through to a human rep. The system is frustrating but don't give up - your benefits are worth the hassle! 🙏
