EDD Disability claim status after 3 weeks - normal wait time or should I be worried?

Hey everyone, I sent in my disability paperwork to start a claim about 3 weeks ago. Anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back? I'm getting anxious and could really use some advice on what to do next.

have you tried checking your claim status online? sometimes its faster then calling

EDD requesting employer info - not sure which job they mean. How to check for appeals/hearings?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my unemployment claim. I recently got a request for employer information, but I'm not sure which job they're asking about. I started a new regular job on January 20th, but I also did some sporadic light work earlier in January that I'm trying to report. Anyone know how I can figure out which one they're referring to? Also, I'm wondering if my employer might have filed an appeal or requested a hearing. How can I check on that? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Quick question - when you say "sporadic light work," was that self-employment or for another company? It might make a difference in how you report it.

It was for another company, just very few hours. Like 2-3 hours a week for a couple weeks.

Ah gotcha. Yea, you definitely need to report that. EDD gets real picky about unreported work, even if it's just a few hours.

Anyone else feel like we need a whole degree just to navigate the unemployment system? ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿค”

EDD disability claim: No updates or payments after follow-up call. What now?

I called the EDD about my disability claim last week and they told me to call back if I didn't hear anything or get any payments by today. Well, surprise surprise, still nothing. No updates, no payments, nada. Anyone else dealing with this? What should I do now?

plot twist: the edd is actually a secret government program to test how long citizens can go without snapping. we're all just lab rats in their sick experiment ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿงช

Dude, pass whatever you're smoking ๐Ÿ˜‚ But for real, sometimes it does feel that way...

Unpopular opinion: maybe try being patient? The EDD is dealing with thousands of claims. I know it sucks to wait, but they're probably doing their best.

Found the EDD employee ๐Ÿ‘€

Lol, definitely not. Just trying to see it from their perspective. But yeah, the wait times are still ridiculous.

SDI payment 2 months late, 2 hour hold times. How to actually get paid?

I've been waiting for my disability payment for almost 2 months now. I called the office and was on hold for nearly 2 hours! This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive when we can't even get through to talk to someone? Has anyone else had this problem or found a way to actually get paid?

Pro tip: if you can get through to someone, ask for a supervisor right away. The regular agents often don't have the authority to actually fix anything.

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting 7 weeks now. My landlord is breathing down my neck and I'm about to lose my apartment. This system is a joke.

Check if your city has any rent assistance programs. Might help buy you some time while you wait for disability to get their act together.

SDI claim issues: How to add January wages & respond to employer info request on CASDI?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my SDI claim. I recently got a request for employer information, but I'm not sure which employer they're asking about. Also, I need to add some wages from early January. Does anyone know how to do this? I think I need to use the messenger in CASDI, but I'm not 100% sure. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey OP, just a heads up - sometimes they ask for info from multiple employers, especially if you had more than one job in the past 18 months. Double check all your messages to be sure!

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and I ended up going to my local EDD office in person. The wait was long, but I got everything sorted in one go. Might be worth a shot if you're really stuck.

This! In-person is underrated. Sometimes you gotta do it old school ๐Ÿ‘ด
