Hang in there, OP! The system sucks but don't give up. You'll get your money eventually. Sending good vibes your way 💖

This happened to me too! Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls and attempts to contact them. 2. Contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite things. 3. File a formal complaint with the insurance commissioner. 4. If you have a union rep, reach out to them for help. Don't give up! It took me 3 months, but I finally got my backpay. Good luck!

Have you tried calling right when they open? I heard that's the best time to get through, but tbh I haven't had much luck either. This whole system is broken af

Guys, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Guys, I think I figured it out. EDD actually stands for "Extremely Delayed Dollars" 🤑💸

I swear, EDD is run by clowns 🤡 How hard is it to have a functioning system? It's not like unemployment is a new concept!

pro tip: if u get a rep who seems clueless, politely hang up and call again. some reps are way more helpful than others

bruh the EDD is such a joke 🤡 they need to get their act together fr

I'm in the same boat, been waiting on an update for 3 months now. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our benefits 🙄

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic info? the system is broken af 😤

Has anyone else noticed that these issues seem to be happening more frequently lately? I wonder if they're short-staffed or if there's been some kind of policy change we don't know about. 🤔

Anyone else feel like we're all just rats in some giant, cruel experiment? 🐀🧪 How long can we make them wait before they lose their minds? 🤪

Hey OP, while Claimyr might seem like a tempting option, remember to weigh both pros and cons. Yes, it can save time and frustration, but the cost can add up, especially if you're financially strained right now. Additionally, local representatives and legal aid services can be invaluable resources. These avenues can provide support without any additional charges. Also, maintaining a calm and organized approach to communicating with EDD - keeping records, following up as needed, and being patient - can sometimes work wonders. Persistence and resilience can make a significant difference. Remember, you're not alone in this battle. Many others are navigating this convoluted system along with you, and sharing experiences can be a source of support and advice.

Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting since August 1st. This is ridiculous.

Hey, has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to streamline the unemployment process? Might be worth looking into and calling your reps about it.

It’s definitely frustrating dealing with unemployment document issues. One thing to ensure is that you carefully read through the instructions provided in any correspondence you receive. Sometimes, small details can be easily overlooked. Claimyr is a handy tool that many find useful for directly connecting with a representative. However, consider weighing its cost against your current situation. Additionally, ensure the clarity and completeness of documents by using recommended apps or methods like faxing or certified mail. It's beneficial to stay organized and thorough in your follow-ups. Lastly, keeping your local representative informed can sometimes trigger faster responses as they may advocate on your behalf. Stay persistent, and don't lose hope!

Plot twist: the EDD website error is actually a feature, not a bug 😂 They're just trying to weed out the weak ones who give up easily lol

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you're keeping track of all your attempts to contact EDD. If there's a delay in your claim because of their errors, you might be able to get backpay. Don't let them off the hook!
