Applied for SDI in January, no updates on claim. Anyone else experiencing long delays?

I applied for disability in January and still haven't heard anything about my claim. It's been months and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced long delays like this? Any advice on how to check the status or speed things up?

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week after I faxed my docs

I'm in the same boat, applied in February. This waiting game is killing me. How are we supposed to survive without income for months on end? The system is broken ๐Ÿ˜ž

EDD payment missing this week - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm freaking out here. I didn't get my benefit payment this week and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm worried about bills piling up and I can't get through to anyone on the phone. Any advice would be really appreciated!

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.

Yooo I thought I was the only one who noticed this! You might be onto something ๐Ÿค”

OP, make sure you're not hitting your benefit cap. I freaked out when my payment didn't come, but it turned out I had just reached the maximum benefit amount. Check your total claim balance!

Oh man, I didn't even think of that. I'll definitely check. Thanks for the tip!

Need help with EDD unemployment extension application - deadlines? specific types?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get an extension on my unemployment application. Has anyone gone through this process recently? I'm not sure what specific extension I need or if there are any deadlines I should be aware of. Any advice would be really helpful!

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're considering that might affect extensions? I saw something on the news but couldn't find much info online.

3 months? Amateur hour. Try 6 months and counting ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Hey OP, just wondering - what specific issue are you dealing with regarding Paid Family Leave? Might be able to give more targeted advice if we know the details.

Thanks for asking! I'm trying to file a claim for bonding time with my newborn, but I'm not sure if I'm eligible since I work part-time. That's why I really need to talk to someone directly.

0 coins

Ah gotcha. Part-time can be tricky. Make sure you have your exact hours worked for the past 18 months when you call. They'll need that to determine eligibility. Congrats on the new baby btw!
