Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Quick question - does anyone know if theres a difference between calling the main EDD number vs the SDI specific number? I've been trying both with no luck

have you checked your mail carefully? sometimes they send important notices that look like junk mail. i almost missed a crucial deadline becuz of that 🤦‍♂️

Just a thought - could your benefits have stopped because you hit some kind of time limit or cap? Might be worth asking about that specifically when you call.

lol welcome to bureaucracy hell 🔥 where nothing makes sense and your time doesn't matter 🙃

Has anyone tried faxing instead of uploading online? I've heard it can be more reliable, as old-school as it sounds.

Guys, I work for a non-profit that helps people navigate EDD issues. Feel free to DM me if you need some guidance. We can't work miracles, but we know the system pretty well.

plot twist: EDD is actually run by squirrels and they lost your paperwork while burying it for winter 🐿️

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that works better than online submission. also, check ur spam folder for any messages from them. good luck!

Oof, dealing with bureaucracy while managing postpartum is rough. Sending you good vibes, OP. Remember to take care of yourself too - all the stress isn't good for you or the baby. Maybe see if a friend or family member can help you navigate some of this stuff?

have u tried turning it off and on again? lol jk but seriously tho, the SDI system is broken af

I heard they're updating the system soon. Maybe that's causing delays? Anyone know more about this?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share something that might be helpful. I recently had to make a bunch of calls for work and was getting nowhere with automated systems. I found this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Random question: does anyone know if 'murciélago' is used for both the animal and the car brand in Spanish? 🦇🚗

Pro tip: If you can, try to get a direct email or phone number for someone in HR. Having a specific person to contact can make things go much smoother.

idk man, maybe its time to look for a new job? A company that cant even get your address right might have bigger problems 👀

Have you tried contacting them through social media? Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive than other channels.

Protip: If you can't get the reset email, try logging in with your old password. Sometimes the system glitches and doesn't actually expire your old one. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it can speed things up sometimes.

Ive been in the same boat. its so stressful not knowing when the money will come through. have you considered applying for emergency assistance through local charities? some churches and non-profits offer help with rent/bills while your waiting on benefits to come through.
