Plot twist: EDD actually received your docs, but they're using them as coffee coasters. Seriously though, their backlog is insane rn. Hang tight!
Hey, former EDD employee here. The verification process can take up to 10 weeks, especially if they're backlogged. My advice: keep checking your UI Online account, and if you haven't heard anything by week 8, start calling or contact your local assemblyperson for help.
Oof, appeals are the worst. Make sure you respond within the deadline they give you, even if you don't have all the info yet. You can always submit more stuff later, but missing that initial deadline can sink your whole case.
Not to be that guy, but have you considered looking for work that accommodates your disability? I know its not always possible, but sometimes theres options out there we dont know about. Just a thought!
This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and a bunch of payments got delayed. Keep calling and don't give up!
Anyone else notice that these issues seem to happen more often at the end of the quarter? I wonder if it's because theyre processing a bunch of new claims or something.

Unpopular opinion: maybe there's a valid reason they're not processing your claim? Not trying to be a jerk, but are you sure you qualify?

•I'm pretty sure I qualify, but I guess it's possible I misunderstood something. How can I double-check my eligibility?

•Check out the SDI eligibility requirements on their website. If you're still unsure, maybe consult with a benefits counselor or an attorney who specializes in disability claims.
