Disability benefits on hold - forgot to fill out survey? Need help reaching EDD rep ASAP!

Ugh, classic bureaucracy nonsense. I swear they make these processes complicated on purpose. Have you tried checking your online account? Sometimes they post notices there about missing documents or surveys.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they sent the survey to my old address. Double-check that they have your current contact info on file.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative's office? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape and get answers faster.

Yo, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

The whole system is a joke. I've been dealing with benefit issues for months now. It's like they want us to give up and go away. 🤬

Here's what I've learned from my experience with disability benefits: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and any correspondence you receive. 2. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times before you get someone who can actually help. 3. Use multiple channels. Try phone, email, and even social media to get in touch. 4. Know your rights. Familiarize yourself with the disability benefits policies in your state. 5. Consider getting an advocate. There are non-profit organizations that can help you navigate the system. 6. If all else fails, contact your local government representative or ombudsman. Hope this helps! Don't give up, you'll get it sorted eventually.

have u tried faxing them? I kno it sounds old school but sometimes that gets faster results than calling or emailing

OP, any update? Did you manage to get through to anyone?
