Plot twist: EDD actually received your docs, but they're using them as coffee coasters. Seriously though, their backlog is insane rn. Hang tight!
LOL 😂 I wouldn't even be surprised at this point
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.
I know, it's frustrating. The system wasn't designed to handle this volume. That's why I always recommend reaching out to local reps if it goes too long.
anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' the paperwork when it's time to pay out? but they never lose the info when it's time for us to pay them 🙄
Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the status updates there before you actually get the money.
Yeah, I've been checking it obsessively. Still says 'pending' 😕
Oof, that sucks. Hang in there, OP. It'll come through eventually.
Pro tip: contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite claims. Worked for me when I was stuck in limbo for months.
Just google '[your city] state representative'. Should pop right up!
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.

Just went thru this last year. Whatever you do, DON'T file your taxes online until you get it sorted out with the IRS. File by mail and include a explanation letter + all your documentation.
