EDD Disability Payment Delay: Missing Documents & Submission Issues

I've been on disability since July and still haven't received a payment. I'm trying to figure out what documents I'm missing and how to submit them. I've already logged into my EDD account, gathered the required documents, and tried uploading them online. But I'm still not sure if I've done everything correctly. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is a nightmare 🤮 I was in the same boat last year. Have you tried calling them directly? It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

I've tried calling, but I can never get through. It's so frustrating! How long did it take you to finally reach someone?

It took me DAYS of constant redialing. I literally set aside a whole week just to try and get through. It's ridiculous how understaffed they are.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes of hold time that way.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check all your uploaded documents. Make sure they're clear and legible. 2. Send a follow-up message through your EDD account asking for a status update. 3. If you still don't hear back, try contacting your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. 4. Keep a detailed log of all your attempts to contact EDD and submit documents. 5. Consider filing a formal complaint if it's been more than 8 weeks without resolution. Hang in there! The system is broken, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try contacting my state rep if I don't hear back soon.

This is solid advice. I'd add: make sure you're using the correct forms. EDD is picky about that stuff.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

$20 to actually talk to a human? might be worth it at this point lol

This whole system is a joke. I've been waiting for 6 months now. SIX MONTHS! How are we supposed to survive like this?

Preach! 👏 The government needs to get its act together. We can't live on promises and IOUs.

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes their online system glitches and faxing actually works better.

Faxing? Seriously? What year is it? 😂 But at this point, I'll try anything. Thanks for the tip!

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue and it turned out they had my address wrong in the system. Double check all your personal info is correct.

This is why we need universal basic income. The current system is clearly not working for anyone.

Very funny. But seriously, we need to address the root of the problem.

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might be more effective than actually dealing with their system 🐐🔮
