EDD Claim Submitted 3/14 - How Long Until Processed? Anyone Know Current Wait Times?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I submitted mine back in February and I'm STILL waiting. It's like they're moving at a snail's pace or something. 🐌 Have you tried calling them? That might be your best bet to get some answers.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but EDD is seriously backed up right now. I've been waiting for over 2 months on my claim. It's a total mess. My advice? Keep calling and don't give up. Sometimes you get lucky and find a helpful agent who can push things along.

Hey there! I actually found a way to get through to someone on the phone. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research: 1. Processing times vary wildly, from 2-8 weeks on average. 2. If there are any issues with your claim, it can take even longer. 3. Calling can help, but it's nearly impossible to get through. 4. Check your online account regularly for updates or requests for additional info. 5. If you're really struggling, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you're not alone in this boat. 💪

lol welcome to EDD hell 🔥 where claims go to die and sanity comes to commit seppuku 💀

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it might be faster, but idk if that's just an urban legend at this point.

Pro tip: if you call right when they open, you have a better chance of getting through. Set your alarm for 7:55 AM and start dialing at 8:00 AM sharp. It's not garuanteed, but it's worked for me a couple times.

Guys, I think I figured out why it's taking so long. EDD is actually run by sloths. It all makes sense now! 🦥💼
