EDD Claim Effective Date Change: No Updates After a Month. Help!

I found a way to solve claim effective date change delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj0c361k2-k

Ugh, I feel ya. I had to change my claim date too and it took FOREVER. Like, almost 2 months before I heard anything back. The waiting game is the worst 😫

I've been there, buddy. It's frustrating as hell. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that can speed things up.

Listen up, 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 what I've learned from my experience: • Be patient. These changes can take 4-6 weeks to process. • Document everything. Keep a record of when you requested the change. • If you haven't heard back after 6 weeks, that's when you should start following up. • Use the online portal to check for updates if possible. • When you do get through on the phone, be polite but firm. The person on the other end isn't responsible for the delay. • If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Hang in there, OP. The system is slow, but it does work... eventually.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic info about our claims? the whole systems a joke 🤡

Have you checked your spam folder? I know it sounds dumb, but I found my update email there after weeks of waiting!

I heard they're super backlogged rn because of some new policy changes. Might be why it's taking so long.
