EDD Address Verification & ID Proof Sent - No Response After a Week. Normal?

Ugh, welcome to the club. 🙄 I sent mine in over a month ago and still crickets. EDD is slower than molasses in January.

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: Send your documents via certified mail next time. That way you have proof they received it. Doesn't make em process it any faster, but at least you know it didn't get lost in the void.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you might be in for a long wait. EDD is notorious for taking their sweet time with document processing. My advice? Keep calling (if you can get through) and check your online account regularly for updates.

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending any mail.

Okay, let me break this down for you and everyone else dealing with EDD's document processing: 1. Processing times vary: It can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. Yes, it's ridiculous. 2. Check your UI Online account regularly: Sometimes updates appear there before you get any mail. 3. Keep all your receipts and tracking info: You might need to prove when you sent things. 4. Try calling, but be prepared for a battle: The phone lines are always jammed. 5. Consider contacting your local assembly member or state senator: They can sometimes expedite things. 6. If you're really desperate, some people have had luck reaching out to EDD on social media (Twitter especially). 7. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence usually pays off eventually. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed and underfunded, but keep pushing. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get our benefits? system is broken af 🤡

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough, but it'll get sorted eventually. In the meantime, document everything and keep pushing. We're all in this leaky boat together! 🚣‍♂️
