EDD benefits delayed 30+ days after submitting return-to-work date change. Help!
Has anyone else had issues with benefits not being paid after submitting documentation for a change in return-to-work date? It's been over a month since I updated my info, and I still haven't received anything. Starting to get worried about bills piling up. Any advice on how to speed up the process or who to contact?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble getting my benefits approved. I filed my claim a while ago and haven't heard anything back.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds like some 1990s nonsense but I legit got a response when I faxed my docs
Faxing? What's next, sending a telegram? 😂
laugh all u want but it worked for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDD approved my claim but no payments yet - what gives?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My unemployment application was approved last week, but I still haven't received any payments. The state confirmed they got all my info back on 11/27, but nothing's happened since then. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds ridiculous in 2023, but I've heard some people have had success getting attention that way.
guys i think we need to organize and do something about this. its not ok that so many of us are struggling to get the benefits we're entitled to. anyone interested in starting a petition or contacting local news?
I'm in! This has gone on for way too long. We need to make some noise.
Great idea! Maybe we could start a hashtag campaign too? #FixEDDNow or something?
SDI Payment Delayed - Sent to Wrong Department, Need Help Getting Through!
I filed a claim for disability benefits and haven't received my payment yet. When I called, they told me I didn't reach the right department. Now I have to call back a different number. Has anyone else experienced this? It's so frustrating to wait on hold for hours only to be told you're in the wrong place. Any advice on how to get through to the correct department?

Plot twist: there is no 'right department'. It's all a conspiracy to make us give up and go back to work 🤡
lmao wouldn't even be surprised at this point 😂
Hey, former EDD employee here. The system is definitely overwhelmed, but here's a tip: if you can, try to find out the extension number for the department you need. Sometimes you can bypass the main menu this way. Also, be super nice to the reps - they're drowning in calls and a little kindness goes a long way.
Thanks for the insider info! Any idea how to find those extension numbers?
Unfortunately, they change pretty often. Your best bet is to ask the rep you talk to for the direct extension of the department you need. Not all will give it, but some might!
EDD: Approved for updated medical cert, but no continued claim form yet. Help?
Hey everyone, I just got my updated medical supplementary certificate approved last week. I mailed it in and got the confirmation, but I'm still waiting on the continued certification claim form to keep my benefits going. Has anyone else dealt with this? How long did it take to get the form after approval? I'm getting a bit anxious about the delay.

Anybody else feel like were playing a game of bureaucratic pinball? 🕹️ You think youve hit the right target but then NOPE back to square one lol
LOL more like bureaucratic Hunger Games 💀
I'm in this comment and I don't like it 😂
Just a heads up, I heard they're implementing a new system next month that's supposed to streamline the whole process. Might be worth waiting if you can.
Source? I'll believe it when I see it tbh
Fair enough. My cousin works in the department, but you're right to be skeptical. These things rarely go smoothly.

The whole system needs an overhaul. It's not equipped to handle the volume of claims, especially with all the changes due to COVID. We need to pressure our representatives to modernize the unemployment system!

Maybe we should start a petition? If enough people sign, they might actually do something.

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you submitted the updated documentation? I'm about to do the same and want to make sure I don't miss anything important.

AuthorYeah, I got an email confirmation right after submitting. Make sure to save that for your records!
