Sent proof of address to EDD - How long until payment processes?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my payment. I sent in my proof of address, including my mortgage statement and some other mail. Has anyone else had to do this? How long did it take for them to process your documents? I'm getting a bit anxious waiting for an update.

EDD claim status check - constant dead air when calling. Any tips to get through?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. I filed recently and I'm trying to check the status, but I keep getting dead air when I call. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips on how to get through to a real person?

Has anyone had luck with the online chat feature? I've been trying that instead of calling, but it seems just as useless.
Lol, online chat. Might as well be shouting into the void. Never got a response.
I actually got through once! ...only to be told they couldn't help me and I needed to call. 🤦♂️
Yo, not to be that guy, but have yall tried faxing? I know it sounds ancient, but I sent a fax with my question and got a call back within 48 hours. Just putting it out there 📠
Wait, people still have fax machines? Where did you even find one?
There are online fax services, my dudes. Welcome to the future of the past! 😎
EDD hung up after answering continued claim call - What now?
So I finally got through to EDD for my continued claim, but when I answered the call, nobody was there and they hung up! Has this happened to anyone else? I'm so frustrated. I've been trying to get this sorted out for weeks now. Any advice on what to do next?

Pro tip: if you have a friend or family member who speaks another language, have them call the non-English line. Usually way shorter wait times!
Woah, never thought of that. Gonna ask my Spanish-speaking cousin for help. Thanks!
EDD payment delayed 6 weeks, no updates. What to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. It's been a while since my last payment and I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else experienced delays recently? Any advice on how to check the status or get in touch with someone who can help?

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. Try different times of day. 2. Check your online account daily for updates or new messages. 3. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 4. If you get through, ask for a tier 2 specialist if the first person can't help. 5. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what they said. 6. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member or state senator for help. 7. If you're really desperate, that claimyr service someone mentioned might be worth a shot. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks but don't give up!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try some of these strategies. 🙏
This should be pinned at the top of the sub tbh. Super helpful!
EDD sent multiple similar forms - duplicates or separate? Help!
Hey everyone, I just got a bunch of forms in the mail and I'm totally confused. They all look kinda similar but I'm not sure if they're duplicates or if I need to fill out each one separately. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm worried about messing something up if I don't handle these forms correctly. Any advice on how to figure out what's what?

Have you tried checking their website? Sometimes they have explanations for different forms there. Might save you a phone call.
Bold of you to assume their website is actually helpful 😂
Fair point 😅 But hey, worth a shot before spending hours on hold, right?

Hey OP, what exactly did you send for proof of address? I'm about to do this too and want to make sure I get it right the first time.
