anyone else notice how the website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes it gets faster results than online submissions.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with medical forms and offices: 1. Always make copies of everything you submit. 2. If possible, get the name and direct extension of someone you speak with. 3. Ask for a confirmation number or reference for any conversations. 4. Follow up phone calls with emails summarizing what was discussed. 5. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification - it's better to get it right the first time. 6. Check if they have an online portal where you can submit questions or forms. 7. If you're really stuck, see if your doctor's office can help interpret the forms. Hope this helps! Dealing with medical paperwork can be a real headache, but stay persistent!

have u tried turning it off and on again? lol jk but srsly good luck with those forms, they're the worst 🤮

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? the whole systems a joke tbh

Have you considered going to your local EDD office in person? Sometimes face-to-face interaction can resolve these issues faster.

tldr; another case of government incompetence. what else is new? 🤷‍♂️

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my old address on file and all the notices were going there. Double-check your contact info with them!

Plot twist: they've already denied you and forgot to send the letter 🤣🤣🤣 Jk jk, but seriously, the lack of communication is the worst part

Anyone else notice that it seems to go faster if you submitted paper docs vs uploading online? Or am I just imagining things?

I swear EDD is running on Windows 95 or something. How hard is it to update a claim status? 🤦‍♂️

Guys, I know it's frustrating, but remember the EDD workers are probably overwhelmed too. Let's try to be patient.

Pro tip: have all your info written down before you call. Makes the whole process go smoother. Good luck OP!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Let us know how it goes!

have u tried contacting ur local assembly member? they can sometimes help speed things up w/ EDD

Anyone else notice that the certification questions changed recently? I swear they're trying to trip us up 🤔

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we still have to deal with paper forms in 2023? 🤔 edd needs to get with the times fr

Whatever you do, don't ignore it and hope it goes away. I made that mistake and it messed up my whole claim. Stay on top of it!

I had a similar issue last year. It took about a month after I submitted the late form for my payments to resume. They did backpay me for the missed payments tho, so theres hope!

Have you considered hiring an advocate? They can sometimes speed up the process, although it does cost money upfront.
