Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting your doctor to submit the required medical info, ask them to fax it directly to EDD. Sometimes that's faster than waiting for EDD to contact them.
I'm in the same boat, OP. Filed my claim 3 weeks ago and haven't heard a peep. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive while waiting for them to get their act together?
Have you considered applying for emergency assistance while you wait? Some local charities or churches might be able to help with bills in the meantime.
Pro tip: ALWAYS appeal. Like 40% of appeals get approved just because EDD doesn't show up to the hearing. Worth a shot!
Unpopular opinion: maybe we should just be grateful we have unemployment benefits at all? Some countries don't even have this safety net.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤦♂️

Pro tip: if you can't get the forms online, sometimes local EDD offices have them. Might save you a phone call
