Oof, early November? You might be in for a wait, my dude. End of year is always crazy busy for them. But don't lose hope! Keep trying to contact them and stay on top of your claim. You got this! 💪
Yeah, holiday season is the WORST time to deal with govt agencies. Everyone's tryna get stuff done before the new year 🙄
Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're playing 4D chess and we're playing checkers 🤡
Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The system's just old and underfunded.
Maybe ur right. but it sure FEELS malicious when ur broke and waiting on them 😤
Friendly reminder to everyone: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online message. It'll help if you need to escalate or appeal later.
This is so important! I learned this the hard way. Wish I'd known sooner.

Im in the exact same situation rn. its so stressful. how r we supposed to pay bills?? EDD needs to get their act together
Ikr? It's like they forget we're real people with real bills. Stay strong, friend.
This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system needs an overhaul. Until then, we're just gonna keep having these problems. 😤
Preach! 🙌 But let's not turn this into a political debate. OP needs practical advice rn.
Have you checked your mail carefully? Sometimes they send notices about delays or additional info they need. I almost missed one cuz it looked like junk mail.

I swear, dealing with unemployment is a full-time job itself. Ironic, huh? 🙃 Anyways, hang in there OP. We're all in the same sinking boat.

Hey, quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation email or text when you first filed? Sometimes there's info in there about timelines.
