EDD Medical Forms Still Pending After a Week - No Updates

I submitted my medical forms to EDD a week ago, but they still show as pending. I haven't received any confirmation or updates. Has anyone else experienced this? How long does it usually take for them to process these forms? I'm getting worried about the delay.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it does! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. Got through in about an hour.

I get it, but considering how much time I wasted trying to call myself, it was worth it for me. Your mileage may vary šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past few months: ā€¢ Processing times vary wildly. Some people get updates in a week, others wait months. ā€¢ Always keep copies of everything you submit. ā€¢ If you don't hear back in 2 weeks, start trying to contact them. ā€¢ Use their online portal to send a message - sometimes they respond faster that way. ā€¢ If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating but keep at it!

EDD is a joke these days. They're probably using the forms as coffe coasters šŸ¤” But seriously, keep bugging them. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Submitted my forms 2 weeks ago and radio silence. This whole process is so stressful šŸ˜«

Has anyone tried faxing their forms instead of mailing? I heard it might be faster but idk if thats just an urban legend

KEEP CALLING THEM!!! Don't give up! I had to call like 50 times before I got through, but when I did, they fixed my issue right away. Its a pain but worth it.

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by sloths. That's why everything takes so long šŸ¦„šŸ˜“

Hey now, don't insult sloths like that. They're way more efficient than EDD šŸ˜‚
