EDD Medical Forms Submitted 1+ Month Ago Still Pending - Need Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my EDD claim. I submitted my medical forms over a month ago, but they're still showing as pending. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting worried because I haven't heard anything back. Any advice on what I should do next or how to get an update?

Ugh, I feel ya. The EDD system is such a mess rn. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I've been trying to call, but it's impossible to get through. Always busy or they hang up on me 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. Like, set an alarm and everything. Sometimes you can sneak through before the lines get jammed.

Calling is useless tbh. I spent 3 days trying and got nowhere. There's gotta be a better way

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 sketchy. Is it legit? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take for them to get through? I'm desperate but don't wanna waste money if it takes forever.

For me, it took about 2 hours. Way better than days of trying on my own. They keep you updated on the progress too.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you submitted forms, any confirmation numbers, etc. 2. Try to reach out via their online portal if possible. Sometimes you can get responses there. 3. If calling doesn't work, consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to EDD. 4. Be persistent but polite. The system is overwhelmed, but most workers genuinely want to help. 5. Check if there are any missing documents on your end. Sometimes they need additional info but don't communicate it well. Hang in there! The process is frustrating, but keep at it. 💪

The assembly member tip is gold. They helped me break through when I was stuck for months!

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's ridiculous that hardworking people have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits they deserve. 😤

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes it gets through faster than online submissions. Worth a shot!

Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I'll give it a try if nothing else works. Thanks for the tip!

Quick question - did you make sure to fill out form DE 2501 completely? I missed a section and it delayed my claim for weeks. Just throwing it out there in case it helps!

Hot take: the system is designed to be confusing on purpose. They hope people will just give up. Don't let them win! Keep pushing!

Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. EDD is just a mess.
