Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to SDI and can help push things along.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get basic support when were sick or injured? the system is broken af 😤

alguien sabe si puedo aplicar si todavia estoy trabajando? mi doctor me dijo que deberia tomar un descanso pero no estoy seguro si califico

OP, un consejo: si tienes problemas con la aplicación en línea, a veces es más fácil hacerlo por teléfono. Sí, la espera es larga, pero al menos tienes a alguien que te guía paso a paso.

hate to say it but sometimes u just gotta wait it out. took almost 3 months for my claim to go thru last year. system's a joke tbh

Have you considered reaching out to a local news station? Sometimes public pressure can light a fire under these agencies. Just a thought! 🤔

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 ❤️

have u tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk... but seriously, EDD's systems are so old, it wouldn't surprise me if that actually worked

I'm in the same boat, buddy. Been waiting on my funds for weeks now. This whole system is broken af 😡

Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Double-check all your personal info is correct. Even a small typo can cause verification issues. 2. Try logging in from a different device if possible. 3. Check your email (including spam folder) for any messages from EDD. 4. If all else fails, you might need to submit a new claim. It sucks, but sometimes it's the only way to reset things. 5. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to fix this. 6. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating, but don't give up!

anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with EDD? 😅 This stuff is more stressful than being unemployed!

This is why we need major reform in the disability benefits system. It's a disgrace how they treat people who are already struggling. 😤

Have you considered reaching out to a disability advocate? They can sometimes work miracles with this stuff.

guys i think the whole systems down rn. been trying to log in for the past hour and keep getting diff errors. might be why OP is having trouble too

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out completely, waiting a few minutes, then trying again can help. Worth a shot!

Anyone else notice how they always seem to have "system issues" right when you need help the most? 🙄 It's like they're trying to make this as difficult as possible.

Hey OP, quick question - when you say there's a discrepancy about your last working date, do you mean between what you reported and what your employer reported? Or is it something else?

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might explain the delay.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Just a thought!
