EDD Payment Delay After Submitting Docs - How Long is Normal?

I found a way to solve payment delays after submitting documents, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqoGqNVSI00

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been waiting for my payment for what feels like forever. It's so frustrating when you can't even get a straight answer about processing times. Have you tried calling them?

In my experience, it can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks for them to process documents. But with all the backlogs lately, who knows? 🤷‍♂️ Have you checked your online account for any updates?

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

Have you tried faxing your documents instead of relying on your doctor to send them? Sometimes that can speed things up. Just make sure to keep the fax confirmation as proof!

This whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 3 months for my payment. THREE MONTHS! And every time I call, I get a different answer. It's like they're playing hot potato with our lives. 😡

Here's what I've learned from my own payment delay saga: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you submitted docs, who you talked to, and what they said. 2. Be persistent. Call regularly (use that Claimyr thing if you need to). 3. Check your online account daily for updates. 4. If possible, submit documents multiple ways (online, fax, mail) to cover all bases. 5. Reach out to your local representative if it's been more than 6 weeks. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums for real-time updates from others in the same boat. 7. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but your payment will come eventually. Hang in there, OP. We're all in this together. 💪
