OP, when did you file your claim? It can take up to 3 weeks for them to even start processing it. The whole system is a joke tbh
Anyone else notice that the wait times seem to get longer every year? I swear when I filed a few years ago it was way quicker 🤔
lmao welcome to the wonderful world of CA bureaucracy 🤡 where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up
Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes that gets faster results than mailing or uploading online.

Pro tip: If you're trying to reach a specific department, try these menu options when you call: 1. Press 1 for English 2. Press 1 for claim questions 3. Press 2 for employer questions 4. Enter your social security number 5. Press 1 to confirm This usually gets me to a human faster. Hope it helps!

Have you considered reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push your claim through faster. Worth a shot if you're really stuck!
