EDD Disability Claim Delay: Filed in June, Still No Benefits - How Long is Normal Wait Time?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my unemployment claim. Filed back in June, but had to have my doctor resend some stuff in July. Now I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs wondering when I'll see any money. Anyone else dealing with this? How long did it take for your benefits to come through after filing?

Has anyone tried to contact EDD through their Twitter or other social media platforms? Sometimes they respond quicker there.

Anyone else feel like we're all just clowns in the EDD circus? 🤡 Step right up, folks! Try your luck at the "Will I Ever Get My Benefits" game! 🎪

It's a crapshoot, honestly. Some people get their benefits within weeks, others wait months. Have you tried calling them? That's usually the best way to get answers.

Yeah, I've been trying to call but it's impossible to get through. It's like trying to win the lottery or something 🎰

Pro tip: call right when they open. I mean RIGHT when they open. Set an alarm and everything. It's still a pain, but your odds are way better.

OP, have you tried calling multiple times a day? Sometimes persistence throughout the day can eventually get you through.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling. I know it sucks, but persistence pays off. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. Make sure all your docs are in order. Any missing piece can delay things. 4. If you have a state rep, reach out to their office. Sometimes they can help push things along. 5. Document everything. Every call, every letter, every online update. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

I agree with this. Also, keeping track of your communication with EDD can be useful if you need to escalate your claim.

Bruh, I feel you. It's like waiting for paint to dry, except the paint is money and it never actually dries 🙃

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've been waiting since April. The system is completely overwhelmed. Hang in there, though. We're all in the same leaky boat 🚣♀️

Balancing the use of Claimyr can be an effective strategy, especially if you're struggling to get through to the EDD. While the $20 fee might seem steep to some, the time saved and the decreased frustration level can be well worth it. However, it's important to remember that Claimyr doesn't guarantee faster processing of your claim itself. It simply aids in connecting you with a live agent. Beyond using Claimyr, you could try other strategies like sending documents via fax, as some have mentioned, or even reaching out through social media channels, which sometimes get quicker responses. Regardless, double-checking all your documents and ensuring everything is in order is vital, as any missing information can further delay your benefits. Keep track of all communication as well since having a record can be useful if you need to escalate your case.

Have you guys heard about this new service that helps you get through to EDD? 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

$20 just to make a phone call? That's highway robbery!

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How does it work exactly? Do they give you a specific time to be ready for the call?

Just to add on, while Claimyr can be helpful, it's always good to make sure all your documents are in order to avoid any unnecessary delays on your end.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I know it sounds like stone age tech, but I've heard it can sometimes get faster results.

What's next, sending a message by carrier pigeon? 🐦 But seriously, might be worth a shot.

Funny enough, faxing can occasionally bypass the massive email queues, so it might actually work.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. Just a thought!

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just give up and become YouTube influencers instead. Who needs unemployment when you can make millions unboxing toys, amirite? 🤣
