idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a glitch in their system. Keep calling and don't let them brush you off!
This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing them? I know it's 2023, but sometimes old school methods work when everything else fails.
LOL faxing? What's next, sending a telegram? π

laugh all you want, but it worked for me! π€·ββοΈ

Not to be that person, but have you checked your spam folder? I almost missed an important EDD email once cuz it went straight to spam π€¦ββοΈ
Sending positive vibes your way, mama! Dealing with this stress while pregnant is the last thing you need. Hope it gets sorted soon! β€οΈ
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to have this support π₯°

Does anyone know if updating your claim affects your payment schedule? I'm worried about delays.
In my experience, it can cause a slight delay (like a week or so) but then it goes back to normal. Just plan ahead!

Pro tip: take screenshots of EVERYTHING during the update process. You never know when you might need proof of what you submitted. EDD lost some of my info once and having those screenshots saved my butt.
Thats a great idea, thanks! Ill definately do that π

Have you tried reaching out to them on Twitter? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses that way. Worth a shot!
Ugh, I feel for you. I was in the same situation last month. What finally worked for me was sending a message through the UI Online portal. It took a few days, but they actually responded and fixed the issue. Might be worth trying if you haven't already.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try. How detailed were you in your message?

I tried to be as specific as possible. Included my claim number, the weeks I was missing payments for, and asked if there was any additional info they needed from me. Good luck!

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? ππ€‘
LOL for real. I'm thinking of adding 'Professional Hold Music Listener' to my resume at this point πΆπ

Guys, I'm freaking out. My benefits are about to run out and I still can't get through for recertification. Any advice on how to expedite this process?
Thanks, I'll look into that. Just feeling so overwhelmed with all of this.

Hang in there! We've all been where you are. Don't give up, something will work out. Sending good vibes your way β€οΈ

Anyone else notice that the online system is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? π
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It's like they know exactly when I'm gonna log in π
4M
Pro tip: try using it late at night or early morning. Less traffic on the site

Just a heads up, I heard they're changing some policies next month. Might affect pending claims. Anyone else hear about this?
Wait, what? Where did you hear that? Got a link?
4M
Saw it on their Twitter feed. Let me find the post and I'll share it here
4M
I'm in the same boat, OP. Filed 2 weeks ago and crickets so far. This whole system is a joke π€‘
Preach! π It's like they want us to suffer or smthn

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.
How do you even find your local rep? π€
4M
Just Google '[your state] find my representative'. Most states have a website where you can enter your address and it'll show you who represents you.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading? I heard it might be faster but idk if that's just an urban legend lol
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? π
4M
Lmao I know right? But desperate times call for desperate measures π€·ββοΈ
4M
Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of their other departments. Sometimes you can get transferred to the right person that way.
Anybody else feel like they're playing the worlds worst lottery trying to get through to EDD? π°π€‘
LMAO fr tho π Except in this lottery, we're all losers

I feel personally attacked by this relatable content π

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but I actually had success with that when nothing else was working.

Guys, I think we need to start making some noise about this. It's ridiculous that so many people are struggling to get basic help. Maybe we should organize and contact our representatives en masse?

I'm down for this! We could start a petition or something. Strength in numbers, right?
