Ugh, dealing with EDD is such a pain. I've been there. What kind of notice did you get? Is it about your eligibility or payments?

•It's about my eligibility. They're saying they need more information, but I'm not sure what else to provide. I've already sent in everything I can think of!

•Oof, that's rough. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes talking to a rep can clear things up faster than trying to figure it out on your own.

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. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

•I get it, but for me, it was worth it. I was losing my mind trying to get through on my own.

Here's what I've learned from my experience with EDD disability claims: • Always keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them • If they ask for more info, send it certified mail so you have proof • Check your online account daily for updates • If possible, fax documents instead of mailing them - it's faster • Be persistent! Don't give up if you know you're eligible Hope this helps, OP. Hang in there!

•3 months? Amateur hour. Try 6 months and counting ðŸ˜

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite things with EDD.

•I didn't even know that was an option! How do I find my assembly member?

•Just google '[your city] California assembly member'. Their office should have a way to contact them for constituent services.

Anyone else notice that EDD's website is always down for 'scheduled maintenance' when you actually need to use it? 🙄

•EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It's like they know exactly when I'm gonna log on 😂

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open in the morning. I usually have better luck then.
