EDD hasn't confirmed receiving my entrance tests - what to do?

Hey everyone, I sent in my entrance tests for unemployment benefits on March 7th, but I haven't gotten any confirmation that they received them. I'm getting worried. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do when I call them? Any advice would be really appreciated!

FYI - there was a system update on March 10th that caused some delays in processing. Your tests might be caught in that backlog. Still worth calling to check tho!

EDD stopped my disability payments due to misunderstood income sources - need help explaining!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability benefits. My claim was approved until next year, but my payments suddenly stopped last month. I've been calling for weeks trying to get this sorted out, but no luck so far. I just spoke with an agent who mentioned I received payments from my employer, a medical practice I'm invested in, and had to take some money out of my retirement account. Now they're saying these might be affecting my benefits. Has anyone dealt with something similar? How do I explain that these aren't actual income from work? Any advice would be appreciated!

edd needs to get there act together fr. how hard is it to understand different types of income? smh ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Preach! ๐Ÿ™Œ It's like they're stuck in the stone age or somethin

Hey OP, when you talk to them next time, make sure to emphasize that the retirement withdrawal was due to hardship caused by the disability. That might help your case.

SDI claim delays - need advice on speeding up disability insurance process

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my disability insurance and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else dealt with problems getting their claims processed or approved? It's been a real headache and I could use some advice on how to handle this situation.

The whole disability insurance system is a joke. They make it so hard on purpose hoping people will just give up. It's criminal how they treat people who are already struggling. ๐Ÿคฌ

It's not THAT bad. I've had good experiences with my claims. Maybe y'all just got unlucky?

@profile9 lol ok bootlicker ๐Ÿ™„ glad it worked for you but that doesn't mean the system isn't broken

Pro tip: if u can afford it, hire a disability attorney. They know all the loopholes and can speed things up. Yeah, they take a cut, but it might be worth it to get ur money faster.

EDD Claim Payment Approval Taking Forever - What Can I Do?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get an update on my claim payment approval. I filed a while back and haven't heard anything. Has anyone else been in this situation? How long did it take for you to get a response or approval? I'm getting a bit worried and could use some advice on what to do next.

Not sure if this helps, but I had success by going to my local unemployment office in person. The wait was long, but I got answers and they were able to push my claim through.

That's a great idea, I didn't even think of that. Is it best to make an appointment or just show up?

0 coins

I just showed up, but if they offer appointments where you are, that might be better. Bring all your docs just in case!
