EDD Nightmare: Connected to SDI instead of PFL, need help reaching correct department for claim status
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with EDD. I called and got connected to the wrong department (SDI) when I needed to speak with PFL. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm trying to follow up on my claim status but keep getting the runaround. Any advice on how to reach the right people?

EDD claim update: How long for mail confirmation? Anyone else waiting?
Hey everyone, I'm waiting on an update for my unemployment claim. I called EDD and they said they'd send me something in the mail. It's been a while and I haven't received anything yet. Anyone else in the same boat or know how long this usually takes?

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing? I heard it might be faster.
What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, does that actually work?
Lol I know it sounds ancient, but a friend swears by it. Said it got processed way quicker. 🤷♂️

Anyone else notice that every time they 'update' the system, everything gets worse? 🤔 It's like they're trying to make it impossible on purpose
Conspiracy theory: maybe they are! 👀 Keep us poor and desperate
Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. They just suck at their jobs lol
Need help contacting someone about my disability claim - any advice?
Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my disability claim and I could really use some advice. I need to speak with someone at the office but I'm not sure how to go about it or what specific questions I should be asking. Has anyone been through this process recently? Any tips on how to get through to a real person or what information I should have ready when I do? I'm feeling pretty lost here and would appreciate any guidance.

Protip: call right when they open in the morning. You're more likely to get through before the lines get jammed up.
Can't get through to SDI for last payment - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble getting my last SDI payment. I've been trying to reach someone at the office but can't get through. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on how to actually talk to a human there?

Pro tip: if you have a friend or family member who speaks another language, have them call and request an interpreter. Those lines are usually way less busy!
Is that even allowed? Seems like cheating the system...
It's not cheating, just using available resources. The interpreters are there for a reason!

Bruh, EDD is straight up playing games with us. I swear they got a dartboard with department names and just transfer you to wherever it lands 🎯🤣

Quick question - when did you file your claim? There's been a backlog lately due to the new system rollout.

AuthorI filed about 3 weeks ago. Didn't realize there was a new system, that explains a lot!
