EDD Disability claim status after 3 weeks - normal wait time or should I be worried?

3 weeks is a pretty normal wait time, but it doesn't hurt to follow up. When you call, ask for a specific timeline on processing your medical certification. Also, check if they need any additional docs to speed things up. Have you gotten any other communication from them?

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been waiting for 5 weeks now and still nothing. The system is so broken 🤦‍♂️

Pro tip: keep calling everyday. I know it sucks, but persistence pays off. I finally got through after two weeks of daily calls and got my claim processed right away.

Hey, 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

Here's what I've learned from my experience with disability claims: • First, make sure you've submitted ALL required documents. Missing even one can delay everything. • Keep a log of all your communications with the office. • If you haven't heard back in 4 weeks, definitely call. • Be prepared with your claim number, SSN, and all relevant dates. • Ask specifically about the status of your medical certification - that's often the holdup. • If they say they're missing anything, ask for a fax number and send it right away. • Follow up with another call a week after sending any additional info. • Don't be afraid to escalate to a supervisor if you're not getting clear answers. Remember, persistence is key. Good luck!

have you tried checking your claim status online? sometimes its faster then calling

Bruh, I swear the EDD is run by clowns 🤡 Good luck getting any straight answers from them lmao
