EDD Appeal Status: How long to hear back? (California)

I found a way to solve EDD appeal status check issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnMZQq-oJeo

Ugh, the EDD appeal process is such a nightmare. I went through it last year and it took FOREVER. Like, we're talking months here. My advice? Be prepared to wait, and then wait some more. 🙄

When you finally get someone on the phone, make sure to ask these questions: 1. Has my appeal been reviewed yet? 2. What's the current status? 3. Do you need any additional info from me? 4. Is there an estimated timeframe for a decision? Write down the answers and get the name of who you spoke with. It helps to have a paper trail.

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: if u can, try calling right when they open. I got thru way faster that way

Anybody else feel like the EDD is just playing games with us at this point? It's like they WANT us to give up 🤡

Hey OP, have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD. Worth a shot!

lol remember when they said theyd be improving the system after all the fraud stuff? yeah right 🙄

Hang in there, OP! I know it's tough, but try to stay positive. My appeal took about 2 months, but it was eventually approved. Don't lose hope! ❤️
