The fact that we have to jump through so many hoops just to access our benefits is ridiculous. The system is broken and needs to be fixed ASAP. How many people are suffering because they can't get through? 😤
Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what was said. 2. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times a day for days on end. 3. Use the online portal as much as possible. Sometimes issues can be resolved there without calling. 4. If all else fails, contact your local representatives or file a formal complaint. 5. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to EDD issues. Sometimes you can find insider tips or get help from others who've been through the same thing. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping better records of my calls.
Alguien sabe si hay una oficina donde pueda ir en persona? Ya estoy harto de esperar y quiero hablar con alguien cara a cara.
Las oficinas estan cerradas por el covid. Todo es en linea o por telefono ahora.
Yo tuve q esperar como 2 meses para recibir una actualizacion. El sistema esta super saturado ahorita con todas las solicitudes. Mi recomendacion es q seas paciente y sigas checando tu cuenta en linea por si hay algun cambio.
anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? its like they want us to fail smh
Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they're hoping we'll just forget about our claims if they make it hard enough.
Nah, I think it's just understaffed and underfunded. Still sucks tho
Hey OP, when exactly did your doctor upload the form? There might be a processing delay due to the recent system upgrade they did. I heard it's causing some backlog.
It was about a week ago. I didn't know about the system upgrade - that could explain the delay. Thanks for the info!

This is why we need major reform in the disability benefits system. It's a disgrace how they treat people who are already struggling. 😤

•Good luck with that. Politicians don't care about us little guys. 🙄

•That attitude is exactly why nothing changes. We gotta at least try!

Have you considered reaching out to a disability advocate? They can sometimes work miracles with this stuff.
