EDD phone nightmare - can't reach anyone for weeks. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with EDD and could really use some help. Has anyone else been struggling to get through to them lately? I've been trying to call for days but can't seem to reach a real person. Any advice on what I should do next?

Anyone else notice how the EDD website always seems to crash right when you need it most? ๐Ÿ™ƒ #EDDfail

Their tech is probly from the 90s lmao. Wouldn't be surprised if they're still using Windows 95 ๐Ÿ’€

Hey OP, what specific issue are you having? Might be able to give more targeted advice if we know what's going on.

Thanks for asking! My payments have been stuck on pending for 3 weeks now, and I can't figure out why. No one's answering my messages in the portal either.

Ah, the dreaded pending purgatory. Definitely try calling, and if you can't get through, consider the assembly member route or that calling service someone mentioned above. Hang in there!

EDD funds not received since Feb 8 - no notices or updates. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't received my unemployment funds since February 8th. It's been over a month now and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? I haven't gotten any letters or notices from EDD about my claim since then. I'm not sure if there are any issues with my claim or if this is just a normal processing time. Any advice or similar experiences would be really appreciated!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblyperson? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.

I didn't know that was an option. How do I find out who my assemblyperson is?

0 coins

Just Google "Find my California assemblymember" and enter your address. They usually have a form on their website for EDD issues.

guys i think i cracked the code. if u call and press 2 for employers, then 4 for general questions, u can sometimes get through to a real person faster. worked for me last week!

SDI claim payment delayed - need advice on speeding up process

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my disability claim payment. I filed it a while ago and still haven't received anything. Has anyone else experienced delays with their disability payments? Any advice on how to speed up the process or get in touch with someone who can help? I'm starting to get worried about my bills piling up.

Idk if this helps, but I had luck reaching out to my state representative. Their office has a liaison who deals with disability claims. Might be worth a shot!

PFL asking me to return $918 payment - Help!

I applied for Paid Family Leave and received a payment of $918. Now I've gotten a letter telling me to return that payment because it was an 'improper payment'. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do when I call them? I'm so confused and worried about having to pay this back.

anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the PFL system? ๐Ÿค” seems like theres always issues

100% agree. It's a mess. We should start a petition or something.

0 coins

Petition won't do jack. We need to vote in people who actually care about fixing this stuff.

0 coins

Not yet, I'm calling tomorrow morning. I'll update once I know more!
