anyone else feel like they need a law degree to understand half the questions on these forms? ๐ค
Seriously! I swear they make it confusing on purpose ๐

Hot take: the whole maternity leave system in this country is a joke. We shouldnt have to jump through all these hoops just to spend time with our newborns. ๐ค
Louder for the people in the back! ๐๐๐

Agreed. My cousin in Canada had it so easy compared to this nonsense.

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but it worked for me when I had a similar issue last year
What year is it? 1995? ๐ ๐

Lol I know right? But hey, if it works, it works ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Guys I finaly got through!!! After 5 weeks of pending, I called non-stop for 2 days and finaly spoke to someone. They fixed it on the spot. Don't give up!!! ๐๐๐
Congrats! ๐ฅณ What number did you call? I've been trying the main one with no luck
2M
I used the technical support number. Sometimes they can help with claims too. It's XXX-XXX-XXXX

Hot take: the whole system is designed to be confusing on purpose. They make it hard so people give up and don't claim benefits. Stay strong and keep fighting, OP! ๐ช
Preach! ๐ The system is rigged against us. We need to demand better from our government!

tldr; EDD's tech is from the stone age. They need to upgrade their systems ASAP. Until then, we're all just stuck playing their games. ๐ฎ๐ค
Hey, just a heads up - make sure you're using the correct website. There are some phishing sites out there that look like the real EDD site. Double-check the URL!
i've been dealing with edd bs for 6 months now. feels like im stuck in a kafka novel or smthn. good luck op, youre gonna need it
6 months? Amateur. Try 18 months of this nonsense ๐ญ

oof, my condolences bro. we're all in this sinking ship together i guess

OP, if you're really strapped for cash while waiting, you might wanna look into local food banks or assistance programs. Some churches and community centers offer emergency help too. Hang in there!
Thanks for the tip. Hopefully it won't come to that, but good to know there are options if things get tight.

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we're still relying on paper checks in 2025? The whole system needs an overhaul smh
Preach! ๐ It's like they're stuck in the stone age or smthn

For real. My grandma gets her social security by carrier pigeon and it's more reliable than this ๐ฆ๐ธ

Hey everyone, I'm having a major issue with ID verification for my disability claim. My account got suspended by ID.me and they're not responding to any of my tickets. I can't file my claim without getting past this verification step. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get through to someone or bypass this roadblock?
lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy ๐ช๐คก where everything's made up and the points don't matter
Have you tried creating a new ID.me account? Sometimes starting fresh can bypass weird glitches in their system.
I'm worried about creating a new account when my old one is suspended. Don't want to make things worse, you know?
2M
That's a fair point. Maybe reach out to ID.me support first and ask if it's okay to create a new account in your situation.
2M
have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but sometimes it works when nothing else does lol
Just wanted to say hang in there! I know how stressful this can be, especially with a new baby. Sending positive vibes your way โค๏ธ
Thank you so much! It really means a lot ๐ฅฐ

This is why we need major reform in the disability benefits system. It's a disgrace how they treat people who are already struggling. ๐ค
Good luck with that. Politicians don't care about us little guys. ๐
2M
That attitude is exactly why nothing changes. We gotta at least try!

Have you considered reaching out to a disability advocate? They can sometimes work miracles with this stuff.
Lola Perez
Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them can get a response faster than calling.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried going to their office in person? I did that last year when I was having issues and actually got help pretty quick.

I second this! Face-to-face interactions can sometimes work wonders.
