Got EDD Notice of Computation for Paid Parental Leave - What's Next?
Hey everyone, I just got a notice of computation for my paid parental leave claim. Has anyone else received this? What does it mean exactly? Is this showing the benefit amount I'll get or is there more to it? I'm a bit confused about what to expect next.

Need help sharing a link quickly - copy/paste not working
Hey guys, I need to share a link with someone but I don't have their email. Any ideas on how to get it to them quickly? I tried copying and pasting but it's not working for some reason.

Guys, I found this awesome service that helps you get through to customer service lines without waiting on hold. It's called Claimyr and it basically calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it's totally worth it if you're trying to reach someone urgently. Check it out: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
$20 seems steep for a phone call. Is it really worth it?
For me it was. I had to deal with unemployment and was spending hours on hold. This got me through in like 30 minutes. Time is money, ya know?
Missing EDD Payment - No Explanation, Need Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payments. Has anyone else experienced problems recently? I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm missing a payment and I'm getting worried. Any advice or similar experiences would be really helpful right now.

Anyone else notice that these issues always seem to pop up around the end of the month? Makes me wonder if it's a funding cycle thing...
EDD hasn't processed my continue claim form for weeks. What can I do?
I'm so frustrated with the unemployment office. They haven't entered my continue claim form that I sent in weeks ago. I had to use pages from an old form because I never got the new one. I've called and emailed them about it, but they just keep sending vague emails about 'supplemental certification' without any real info. Anyone else dealing with this mess? What can I do to get them to actually process my claim?

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You might have to try a few days in a row, but that's how I finally got through.
What time do they open? Asking for a friend 👀
8am Pacific Time, Monday-Friday. Set ur alarm and start dialing at 7:59 lol
EDD lost my mailed ID verification docs, rep seemed clueless. What now?
I sent in my address verification and proof of ID to EDD through the mail. My USPS tracking says it was delivered on Feb 13th at 9am. It's been a while and I still haven't heard anything back from EDD. I called and spoke to someone yesterday, but they didn't seem to understand my situation or the information I sent. The person sounded new and inexperienced. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do next?

Pro tip: If you can, try to get to an EDD office in person. I know it's a pain, but face-to-face interactions can sometimes get things moving faster. Just be prepared for a long wait.
This! I second this advice. I got more done in one office visit than I did in months of calling.
Anyone else notice that EDD seems to work better for some people than others? Like, my neighbor got her stuff sorted in a week, and here I am, 3 months later, still waiting. Makes me wonder if there's some secret code we're missing 🤔
I've wondered this too! Maybe it depends on which office handles your claim? Or just pure luck?
Its all about who you know, man. System's rigged 😤

Pro tip: start gathering all your pay stubs and employment info now. EDD might ask for it later and having it ready will speed things up!

Yeah, you can check on the EDD website. Log into your account and go to the claim status section. It's not always super up to date tho
