have u tried turning it off and on again? š¤£ jk jk... but seriously, the EDD system is probably running on Windows 95 or smthn
I'm in the exact same boat. Extended my claim 2 months ago and radio silence since then. This system is beyond broken. Solidarity, friend. šā
Ugh, I'm sorry you're dealing with this too. Hope we both get some resolution soon. Keep me posted if you have any luck!

Has anyone had luck with contacting their local representative? I've heard sometimes they can help speed things up.
I tried that once. Took forever to hear back, but they did eventually help. Worth a shot if youre desperate

Just wanted to say hang in there, OP. This process can be soul-crushing, but you're not alone. We're all in this leaky boat together š£āāļø
Thanks for the support. It really helps to know I'm not the only one dealing with this mess.

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the entire unemployment/disability system? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with forms and long wait times like it's 1980. š¤¦āāļø
Preach! š The whole thing is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point.

For real. My grandma could design a better system, and she still uses a flip phone. š

Hey OP, have you checked if there are any local advocacy groups that can help? Sometimes they have insider knowledge or can escalate issues.
The EDD system is such a joke. They make it impossible to get help and then act surprised when people fall through the cracks. š¤” Good luck OP, you're gonna need it.
For real tho. It's like they WANT us to give up. š

Hey, don't panic! This is fixable. I work for a non-profit that helps people with EDD issues. Here's what you need to do: 1. Try to backdate your certifications online 2. If that doesn't work, you MUST speak to a tier 2 specialist 3. Explain your situation calmly and ask about reinstatement 4. Be prepared to provide proof of eligibility for the missed weeks 5. If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor Stay persistent! You got this! šŖ
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely follow these steps. You're a lifesaver! š

This is gold. Saving this for future reference. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Plot twist: what if the company went bankrupt overnight and didn't tell anyone? š
Don't even joke about that! š± Now I'm gonna be up all night googling my company's financial status lol

Bruh, why you gotta put that evil out there? š
4M
have u checked ur online account? sometimes they update stuff there b4 sending mail
I did check, but there's nothing new there either. It's like my claim is stuck in limbo or something.
4M
Not to be that person, but are you sure your doctor actually submitted the extension? I thought mine had, but it turned out there was a miscommunication and they never sent it in. Might be worth double-checking!
3 weeks aint nothin homie. come back when youve been waiting 3 months like me š
Damn, 3 months? That's rough. Hope you get some answers soon.
4M
unpopular opinion: maybe if people stopped trying to game the system, it wouldn't be so backed up for those of us with legit claims š¤·āāļø
Bruh, you really think that's the problem? The system has been a mess for years. Don't blame other people who are struggling š
4M
just saying what everyone's thinking. sue me š¤·āāļø

Anyone else feel like were living in a dystopian novel? We literally have to pay a third party just to access a government service we're entitled to. This country is a joke sometimes š¤”
Preach! š It's absolutely ridiculous. We need major reform.
4M
Ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting on my claim for months. Good luck, OP!
Same boat here. It's like they're playing games with our lives š
4M
Hey OP, what exactly is the issue with your supplementary certificate? Did you not receive it, or are you having trouble filling it out?
I received it, but I'm not sure how to fill out some sections. It's asking for info I don't have.
4M
Gotcha. For any sections you're unsure about, call EDD and ask for clarification. Better to get it right than risk delays!

I was in the same boat last year. Turns out there was a flag on my account for potential fraud (even though everything was legit). Had to verify my identity again. Might be worth asking if there's any specific issue holding up your payments.

This happened to me too! The fraud prevention stuff is out of control. Took weeks to sort out š«
