SDI claim stuck after waiting period - no payments received. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my SDI claim. My waiting period was processed, but I haven't received any payments since then. It's been a while and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do or who I should contact? I'm not sure if there's a problem with my claim or if this is normal. Thanks in advance for any help!

SDI payment 20 days late after submitting docs - what to do?
I submitted all my documents for SDI benefits at the office 20 days ago. They told me my payment would be processed in 7-10 days, but I still haven't received anything. I've checked the website for updates, but there's no new information. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? What should I do next?

This happened to me last year. Turns out they needed additional info but never notified me. Def try to get ahold of someone ASAP
Oh no, that's what I'm worried about. How did you finally get it resolved?
I had to go back to the office and wait for hours, but eventually got it sorted. Bring ALL your docs just in case!
EDD Extension Form Submitted - No Notice, No Payment. What to Do?
I submitted my extension form for unemployment benefits last week, but I haven't heard anything back. I got a confirmation that they received it, but no other notice. Now I'm worried because I haven't gotten paid for this past week. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do when I finally get through to someone on the phone?

I swear the EDD is running on Windows 95 or something. How hard is it to process a simple extension? 🤦♂️
Windows 95? You're giving them too much credit. Pretty sure it's all done by carrier pigeon 🐦
lmaooo 🤣 carrier pigeon would probably be faster tbh

EDD Eligibility Question: New Claim After Returning to Work Post-Pregnancy
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle and could use some advice. I filed for unemployment last year due to pregnancy, went back to work for a few months, and now I've had to file again. I'm worried about my eligibility for this new claim. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What should I expect when I talk to them about my new claim? Any tips on what to say or what information I should have ready?

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always have better luck getting through first thing in the morning. Also, be super nice to the rep - they deal with angry people all day and being kind can go a long way.
This! 💯 I used to work in a call center and nice callers always got extra help

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they're hoping we'll just forget about the money we're owed smh

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Worked for me!

This is actually great advice. My cousin did this and got her issue resolved in like 2 days. Definitely worth a shot!
