idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out they had my address wrong by one number. Might be worth double-checking that with them

The whole system is broken af. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get basic info about our claims. Time for some serious reform imho

Plot twist: EDD actually received your docs, but they're using them as coffee coasters. Seriously though, their backlog is insane rn. Hang tight!

Hey, former EDD employee here. The verification process can take up to 10 weeks, especially if they're backlogged. My advice: keep checking your UI Online account, and if you haven't heard anything by week 8, start calling or contact your local assemblyperson for help.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 3. If possible, use their online portal to submit questions. Sometimes it's faster than phone. 4. Check your spam folder regularly. Important emails can end up there. 5. If you're really stuck, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along. 6. Be prepared for long wait times. Have something to do while on hold. 7. Double-check all your paperwork before submitting. One small error can cause big delays. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're hoping we'll just go away if they make it hard enough. 🙄

anyone else feel like were playing a game of chance everytime we call? like, congrats! youve won the chance to maybe talk to a human after only 3 hours on hold! 🎉🤡

Hey OP, when did your payments stop? There was a glitch in the system last week that affected a bunch of people. Might be related.

Hey OP, have you checked if there's any missing information on your claim? Sometimes they don't tell you if something's incomplete and it just sits there. Might be worth double-checking everything.

I heard they're super backlogged bc of all the covid claims still. doesn't make it any less frustrating tho. hang in there!

Anyone know if theres a way to report wages retroactively? I totally spaced last month and now im worried ill lose my benefits 😰

Just a heads up, EDD is implementing a new wage reporting system next month. Supposedly it'll be more user-friendly. Fingers crossed it actually works! 🤞

Anyone else notice that these issues seem to happen more often at the end of the quarter? I wonder if it's because theyre processing a bunch of new claims or something.

OP, make sure you're not hitting your benefit cap. I freaked out when my payment didn't come, but it turned out I had just reached the maximum benefit amount. Check your total claim balance!

Quick question - did you check if your bank info is correct in the system? I had a similar issue and it turned out my account number was off by one digit. 🤦‍♂️

Guys, I hate to be that person, but have you considered reaching out to your employer? Sometimes there's a delay because they haven't submitted all the necessary info on their end.

Yo, this might sound crazy, but have you tried tweeting at them? I did that out of frustration once and surprisingly got a response. Worth a shot if nothing else is working 🤷‍♂️

OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a lot depending on where you are. In my state, there's a specific ombudsman office for disability payment issues that can sometimes help speed things up.

Just went thru this last year. Whatever you do, DON'T file your taxes online until you get it sorted out with the IRS. File by mail and include a explanation letter + all your documentation.
