Here's a comprehensive guide to dealing with EDD issues: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and interactions with EDD. 2. Use multiple contact methods: Try phone, email, and even snail mail. 3. Be persistent: Unfortunately, it often takes multiple attempts to get through. 4. Know your rights: Familiarize yourself with EDD policies and procedures. 5. Seek help: As mentioned, contact your local assembly member or consider using a service to get through on the phone. 6. Stay organized: Keep all your paperwork in order and easily accessible. 7. Be patient but firm: The process can be frustrating, but try to remain calm and assertive. Remember, you're not alone in this. Many of us have been in the same boat. Don't give up!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed guide! This is incredibly helpful. I'll definitely be following these steps.
This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit tbh. So many people could benefit from this info!
Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can sometimes get faster results than uploading online.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 📠😂
Just a heads up, there was a news article last week about SDI implementing a new processing system. Might be causing extra delays. Hang in there!
lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🙃 good luck getting any straight answers
Quick question - did you make sure all your medical documentation was up to date and submitted? That was what held up my extension for ages.
Oh no, I'm not sure actually. How did you find out what documentation they needed?
I had to call and speak to a rep. They told me exactly what forms were missing. It's a pain, but worth double-checking!
lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where nothing makes sense and the rules change daily
Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point.
