EDD Medical Disability Claim Stuck on "Pending Processing" Since 8/1 - No Payment Yet. Help!

I found a way to solve delayed disability claim processing, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkoaqihkTWw

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed mine in July and still nothing. The EDD is such a mess rn 🤦‍♂️

Here's what worked for me: 1. Gather all your docs (claim confirmation, medical records, etc) 2. Call EDD first thing in the morning 3. Be polite but firm, ask for specifics on why it's delayed 4. Request a supervisor if the rep can't help 5. Follow up with an email summarizing the call Stay persistent! It took me 3 calls, but I finally got it sorted.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there lol

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

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's a joke that people have to wait months for benefits they're entitled to. 😤

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under EDD's a**

plot twist: the edd is actually run by sloths 🦥 explains everything

Guys, I'm telling you, its all about persistence. I called 37 times in one day before I got through. Yeah, it sucked, but I got my claim processed that week.

Has anyone else noticed that the "pending processing" status seems to mean different things depending on who you talk to? One rep told me it meant they were waiting on my employer, another said they were reviewing my medical docs. Can't they get their story straight? 🙄
