This is getting ridiculous. How are we supposed to access our accounts if they keep locking us out? The whole system needs an overhaul. 🤦‍♂️

Here's what worked for me when I got locked out: 1. Go to the 'Forgot Password' page 2. Enter your username and email 3. Instead of choosing 'email reset link', select 'answer security questions' 4. Answer the questions (hopefully you remember them!) 5. If successful, it should let you set a new password 6. Log in with the new password If that doesn't work, you might need to verify your identity over the phone or in person. Good luck!

Quick question - did you change doctors recently? That could explain why you're getting the Request for Medical Information form. They might need updated info from your new doc.

lol welcome to unemployment hell 👹 where the rules are made up and the deadlines don't matter

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your symptoms and how they affect your ability to work. This can be super helpful for your claim.

anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔

Here's what I've learned about payment timelines after dealing with this for months: 1. Initial claims usually take 2-3 weeks to process 2. If there are any issues or discrepancies, it can take up to 8 weeks 3. Certifying every two weeks is crucial - miss this and your payments will be delayed 4. Direct deposit is faster than debit cards 5. Sometimes calling can speed things up, but getting through is a nightmare 6. Check your spam folder for emails - sometimes important notices end up there Hope this helps! Hang in there, everyone. We're all in this togethe

have you tried contacting your local representative? sometimes they can help speed things up

Quick question - is your psychiatrist able to prescribe meds in the US? That might be a key factor in whether EDD accepts them.

Not to be that guy, but have you checked if your claim is even still valid? Sometimes they cut you off without notice 😒

This is why I always tell people to have an emergency fund. The system is unreliable af.

Oof, been there done that. It's like they WANT us to give up. Stay strong, OP! 💪

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your account and check for any pending issues or notifications. 2. If you don't see anything there, try to locate your form submission confirmation. You should have received one when you submitted it. 3. If you can't find that, gather all your documentation (pay stubs, ID, etc.) and prepare to resubmit your form. 4. Call the EDD first thing in the morning (right when they open) to speak with a representative. Be prepared to wait. 5. If you can't get through on the phone, consider sending a secure message through your online account. 6. As a last resort, you might need to visit an EDD office in person if there's one near you. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! And make sure to document all your attempts to contact them in case you need to prove your due diligence later.

lol welcome to the club 🎉 we've all been there. hang in there!

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes old school methods work best with these dinosaur systems.

I'm in the same boat, been waiting 4 months now. This system is so broken. Good luck to you, hope you get it sorted soon!

Ive been waiting 3 months for my SDI payment. its a joke. they say theres a backlog but come on this is getting rediculous

Just a heads up, there was a system update last month that caused some delays. Might be worth checking if your claim was affected. They posted about it on their Twitter.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

Ive been in the same boat. took me forever to get it sorted. hang in there!
