am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to update a phone #? the whole systems a joke smh
Quick question - does anyone know if updating the employer contact info affects the claim in any way? Like, does it delay payments or anything?
Nah, you're good. It's just updating contact info, shouldn't affect your payments at all. I did it last year, zero issues.
Phew, that's a relief. Thanks for the info!
Hot take: the whole system is designed to be confusing and difficult on purpose. They hope people will just give up. Don't let them win! 💪
Hey, former EDD employee here. The backlog is insane right now due to budget cuts and outdated systems. My advice: be polite but firm when you do get through. Ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help. And ALWAYS get a reference number for your call.
Hey, former EDD employee here. The backlog is insane rn, but here's a pro tip: if you can prove financial hardship (like eviction notice, past due bills), you can request expedited processing. Make sure to mention you have young kids too. Good luck!
Is there a specific form for requesting expedited processing or do we just ask verbally?
Has anyone else noticed that their claim status changes randomly? Mine went from 'paid' to 'pending' and back again without me doing anything. EDD's system seems buggier than a summer campground.

This might sound weird, but check your spam folder. I once had an important EDD notice end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in their system.

OP, any updates? Did you manage to get through to anyone or figure out what's going on with your payment?

•Not yet, but I'm going to try calling tomorrow morning. If that doesn't work, I might try that claimyr service someone mentioned.
