Has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? I'm thinking about camping out there if I have to!

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been waiting for 6 weeks now. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our money 🙄

Bruh, you're playing the waiting game now. EDD moves slower than a sloth on valium. Just keep calling and pray to the bureaucracy gods 🙏

Pro tip: Next time, apply online. It's way faster and you get a confirmation number right away. But for now, yeah, you gotta call them. Brace yourself for some hold music 🎵

idk if this helps, but I was in a similar situation last year. turns out there was a glitch in their system that was causing delays for people who filed extensions. might be worth asking if theres any known issues rn

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat for weeks now. It's like they just forget about us once we file for an extension. Have you tried calling them?

Ugh, I feel you! I went through the same thing last year. It took them almost 2 months to get back to me. The system is so broken, its ridiculous.

tbh, i gave up on the whole process. ended up just relying on savings and help from family. the system is beyond broken.

PSA: If you're having trouble with EDD, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things through faster.

have u tried tweeting at EDD? sometimes they respond faster on social media. worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in the system. I missed a letter asking for additional info and it delayed my claim by weeks. 😫

Here's what you need to do, step by step: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates and times. 2. Check your UI Online account: Make sure there are no pending tasks or messages you might have missed. 3. Contact your local representative: Sometimes they can help push things along. 4. Be prepared: When you do get through, have all your info ready (claim number, dates, etc.). 5. Ask specific questions: "Is my identity verification complete?" "Are there any holds on my account?" "When can I expect payment?" 6. Follow up in writing: After any phone call, send an email summarizing what was discussed. 7. Stay persistent but polite: The person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat. Faxing stuff to EDD is like throwing papers into a black hole sometimes. It took them almost 3 weeks to even acknowledge they got my fax. Hang in there!

Just a heads up, with the new budget cuts, processing times are even slower than usual. I've been waiting 2 months for them to process a simple form. It's ridiculous.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out they needed additional documentation from me, but never bothered to tell me. Try faxing them a follow-up letter asking about the status of your claim. Sometimes that gets their attention.

Update: I finally got through to someone! They said there was a "processing delay" whatever that means 🙄 Supposedly my payment should come through in the next 3-5 business days. Fingers crossed 🤞

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to fix my claim for weeks. This whole process is making me more stressed than being unemployed in the first place! 😫

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your claim info: claim number, correct start date, etc. 2. Call EDD first thing in the morning (like 8:01 AM) when they open 3. If you can't get through, keep trying every 15 minutes 4. When you finally reach someone, explain the situation calmly 5. Ask them to confirm the change in the system before hanging up 6. Get a reference number for the call Good luck! The system is broken, but persistence pays off.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update there before sending payment.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of your appointment date, who you saw, and any paperwork you received. 2. Follow up with EDD immediately. Use the online portal if you can't get through by phone. 3. If you don't hear back within 5 business days, escalate to your local assembly member's office. They can often cut through red tape. 4. Check your EDD account daily for any updates or requests for additional information. 5. If you're in dire financial straits, look into local food banks or emergency assistance programs while you wait. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them forget about you!
