EDD Approval Delay: Weeks of Waiting with No Updates - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a delay in my EDD approval and it's driving me crazy. Has anyone else experienced this? I submitted everything on time but it's been weeks with no update. Any advice on how to speed up the process or at least get some information about what's going on?

Ugh, I feel your pain {OP}. I've been stuck in EDD limbo for over a month now. It's like they just threw my application into a black hole or something. Have you tried calling them? That's what I'm planning to do next week, but I've heard horror stories about the wait times.

I've tried calling but no luck getting through. It's so frustrating! Let me know if you have any success next week.

Good luck with that call! I spent 3 hours on hold last week only to get disconnected right when I thought someone was gonna pick up šŸ¤¬

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but honestly, after weeks of trying to get through, it was worth every penny for me. Got my issue resolved in one call.

Can you give more details about how it works? Do they garuantee you'll get through?

Sure thing! You just put in your phone number on their site, and they call you back when they get an agent. No guarantee, but it worked for me on the first try. Way better than wasting hours on hold.

Have you checked your online account for any updates or messages? Sometimes they request additional info without sending an email notification.

I've been dealing with EDD delays for what feels like FOREVER. Here's what I've learned: ā€¢ Double-check all your docs are uploaded correctly ā€¢ Look for any pending tasks in your online account ā€¢ If you call, try early morning or late afternoon ā€¢ Be persistent! Sometimes it takes multiple attempts ā€¢ Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but eventually it'll work out. šŸ’Ŗ

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading? I heard from a friend that it might speed things up, but idk if that's just an urban legend at this point.

Faxing? What is this, 1995? šŸ“ šŸ˜†

I actually tried this! Didn't seem to make a difference for me, but YMMV.

Just a heads up, there was a system update last week that's causing some delays. Might be why you're stuck in limbo. They said it should be resolved "soon" whatever that means in EDD time šŸ™„
