I finally got my payment after 6 weeks of waiting. Hang in there, it'll come eventually!

I've been waiting 3 months now. This is ridiculous. We need to organize and demand better service!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last month. It took them forever to get back to me about my doctor's exam approval. Here's what worked for me: 1. Have your claim number and all relevant dates ready 2. Call first thing in the morning when they open 3. Be polite but firm, ask for specific next steps 4. If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor Good luck! The system is so broken rn 🙄

have u tried faxing them? i know it sounds old school but sometimes it works lol

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in their system. I once missed a payment because they had an old address on file.

Plot twist: What if we all show up at the EDD office with lawn chairs and snacks? They can't ignore us if we're right there, right? Who's in? 😂🪑🍿

Not to be that guy, but are you sure you filled out your certification correctly? I once messed up and accidentally said I was able to work on days I was supposed to be covered by my doctor's note. Just double-checking!

This happens way too often. It's like they're playing games with our money. I had to fight for weeks to get paid for days covered by my doctor's note. Here's what worked for me: 1. Keep calling every day. It sucks, but persistence pays off. 2. Send a message through your online account explaining the situation in detail. 3. Contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 4. If all else fails, file an appeal. It takes time, but it's your right. Remember, document EVERYTHING. Every call, every message, every piece of paper. Good luck!

Yall ever notice how the hold music is always so bad? Like, if im gonna be waiting for 3 hours at least give me some decent tunes 🎵🙉

lol why even bother calling if youre not gonna talk to them? seems like a waste of time imo

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check the EDD website for any form resembling identity verification. Sometimes they change names without updating everywhere. 2. If you can't find it, try calling early in the morning as soon as they open. Be persistent. 3. Check your online account for any messages or requests. Sometimes they send notifications there instead of email. 4. If all else fails, consider visiting an EDD office in person. Bring all your documents and explain the situation. 5. Document everything. Keep a record of all your attempts to contact them, forms submitted, etc. 6. As a last resort, contact your local state representative. They sometimes can help push things through. Remember, the system is frustrating but don't give up. You're entitled to your benefits!

Hang in there, OP! We're all in the same sinking boat. Just keep swimming 🏊‍♂️

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be the squeaky wheel to get the grease.

Based on your situation, I would recommend considering a third-party service like Claimyr if you are struggling to get through to EDD. While it does cost $20, many users have found it invaluable in actually reaching a live agent to address their concerns. However, be aware that additional expenses may not be feasible for everyone, especially when facing financial hardships. Besides using such services, make sure you have covered all other bases: document every interaction, reach out through multiple channels (e.g., email, social media), and escalate your case to higher authorities if necessary. Lastly, patience and persistence are necessary during these times, but don’t hesitate to explore community forums and social media groups for support, advice, and to share your experiences with others in similar situations. Hang in there, and remember you are not alone in this!

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be proactive and get someone on the phone to sort things out.

Anyone else notice how the website always seems to crash right when you need to certify? 🤔 Coincidence? I think not!

Guys, I work in IT. The EDD system is running on ancient technology. It's a miracle it works at all. Be patient, but definitely follow up.

Plot twist: What if the doctor's extension actually caused a delay in processing? Maybe the system is recalculating your benefits.

Have you checked your wage and withholding statement (Form 1099-G) from last year? Sometimes that can help you spot discrepancies in what's been reported.

idk man, the whole system is broken. I've been trying to get my claim sorted for MONTHS. Starting to feel like I'm just gonna have to give up 😞
