EDD Disability: No benefits since August after submitting DE 2593. Help!

I found a way to solve disability benefits delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Kuwzq5d5M

Ugh, I feel your pain. I went through something similar last year. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but it's probably your best bet.

I found a method to 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you submitted the form, any correspondence, and your attempts to contact them. 2. Try reaching out via their social media channels. Sometimes they're more responsive there. 3. Contact your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 4. If all else fails, file a complaint with the Department of Labor. It's a nuclear option, but it can light a fire under them. Hang in there! The system is broken, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

have u checked ur claim status online? sometimes they dont tell u if theres a problem w/ ur claim and u just gotta log in to see whats up

I'm in the exact same boat 🚣‍♀️ Submitted my form in early August and radio silence since then. This whole system is a joke. Good luck, OP!

Not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you filled out the DE 2593 correctly? I messed up one little thing on mine and it delayed everything by months. 🤦‍♂️

PSA: If anyone else is struggling with this, there's a Facebook group called 'EDD Unemployment Help' that's been super helpful for me. Lots of people sharing tips and updates.
