EDD Account Login Issues & Switching to Check Payments - Need Advice!
Hey everyone, I'm trying to help my mom with her EDD account and we're running into some issues. We can't seem to log in to her online account and we need to update her claim. Also, she wants to switch from direct deposit to check payments. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice on what to say when we finally get through to an agent?

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic help? The system is broken af ๐ค
Preach! ๐ It's like they're stuck in the stone age or something.
ikr? its 2023 and we still cant get decent online support. smh
Hey OP, when you do get through, make sure to ask if theres any pending stuff on the account. Sometimes they dont tell u unless you ask specifically. Also, switching to checks might take a few weeks to process, so plan accordingly!
Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely ask about pending items. Any idea how long the switch to checks usually takes?
In my experience, it took about 2-3 weeks. But I've heard it can vary. Def ask the rep for a timeframe when you call!
SDI payments stopped since Oct 2024, recertified but still no money. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't received any SDI payments since October 2024. My doctor sent in the recertification on December 3rd, and it's been extended again until January 14th, 2025, but still no money. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? It's been months, and I'm starting to get really worried. Any advice on how to speed things up or what might be causing this?

Question for the OP: Has your condition changed at all since the original claim? Sometimes even small changes can throw a wrench in the whole process.
Not really, no. It's pretty much the same as when I first filed. That's what makes this so frustrating.

I'm supposed to be getting paid every week, but for some reason, I have to call in every single time just to get the money into my account. It's driving me crazy! Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix it? I'm getting really frustrated having to chase down my own money every week.

SDI pregnancy claim stuck in 'pending processing' for months - no payments received. Help!
Has anyone else been waiting forever for their SDI pregnancy disability claim to be processed? I filed my claim back in November and it's still showing as "pending processing". The state confirmed they got my claim and my doctor's certification, but I haven't heard anything since then. It's been months and I haven't received any payments. This is so frustrating! How long did it take for others to start getting their payments?

Has anyone tried contacting their doctor's office to see if there's an issue with the medical certification? Sometimes that can hold things up.
I didn't even think of that! I'll give my OB's office a call tomorrow. Thanks!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates and times. 2. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try their social media. Sometimes they respond on Twitter or Facebook. 4. As someone else mentioned, contacting your local rep can help. 5. If all else fails, consider filing a complaint with the state labor board. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!
