Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes publicly calling them out on Twitter or Facebook can get their attention. Just be polite about it.

plot twist: what if they lost all our documents and are too embarrassed to admit it? 🤔🤡

Has anyone had luck getting their doctor to fill out the forms online? I heard theres a new system but idk how it works

lol good luck. ive been trying to get my benefits sorted for 6 months now. the whole system is a joke 🤡

I swear, dealing with these systems is like playing whack-a-mole with errors. Fix one thing, another pops up. It's exhausting.

Hey OP, any luck resolving this? I'm curious because I'm about to start my application and want to be prepared for any potential issues.

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out on social media. Sometimes their Twitter support is surprisingly responsive.

Have you considered just legally changing your name back? Might be faster than waiting for SDI to get their act together 😂

LPT: If you're really desperate, try reaching out on Twitter. I've seen some people get responses that way. Use the hashtag #EDDUpdate or #CaliforniaEDD

guys i finally got paid today after 2 months of waiting!!! there is hope!!!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can sometimes get processed faster that way.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat. This whole system is so broken. How are we supposed to survive while they take their sweet time? 😡

lol welcome to the club. EDD is a joke rn. Good luck getting your $$$

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading online? I heard that sometimes works better.

Has anyone tried reaching out to EDD on social media? I've seen some people say they got responses that way.

Guys, I'm freaking out. Rent is due next week and I'm still waiting on this payment. Any ideas for explaining this to my landlord? 😰

Bruh, I feel you. The SDI system is more broken than my ex's promises 💔 But for real, keep pushin. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, email, letter. It might help your case later.

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' our documents? 🤔 Make sure you send everything certified mail or with delivery confirmation. CYA all day!

Okay, here's what I've learned after dealing with this for way too long: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Try calling at off-peak hours. Early morning or late afternoon can sometimes work. 3. Have all your info ready when you call. Claim number, SSN, employment history, etc. 4. Be polite to the rep when you finally get through. They're probably overwhelmed too. 5. If one rep can't help, politely ask to speak to a supervisor. 6. Document everything. Write down who you talked to and when. 7. Check your online account regularly for updates. 8. Consider reaching out to your local representative if you're really stuck. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together!

Anyone else notice that the system seems to be worse since they "upgraded" it last month? 🤔
