EDD SDI Payment Delay: Faxed Doctor's Paperwork Not Processed - How Long to Wait?

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping better records.

This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit tbh. Solid advice right here 👆

I completely agree, this information is pure gold for anyone dealing with EDD.

Don't give up! I know it's hard, but keep pushing. Have you tried reaching out to your local rep?

I feel you. This whole process is so draining. Sending you good vibes, hope it gets sorted soon!

It can be overwhelming, but sometimes persistence and using every available contact can eventually lead to a resolution.

Really? I had no idea this was an option. Thank you so much for sharing this info!

This should be common knowledge! EDD doesn't advertise it, but it's a lifesaver for some people.

This is a great tip! Being aware of these options can make a world of difference for those in urgent need.

I tried it. It's marginally better, but still has a lot of bugs. At least you can check your status more easily.

The app is okay for checking stuff, but I wouldn't trust it for uploading important documents yet. Still too glitchy.

The concept is good, but it seems like EDD needs more time to work out the kinks in the app.

Wait, seriously? Is this legit? Sounds too good to be true.

Yep, 100% legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 😡

I get it, but think about how much time and stress it saves. For me, it was worth it to finally get answers.

It might seem expensive, but if you consider the time you save and the peace of mind you gain, it could be worth it for some people.

4 weeks?! That's crazy. But at least you know where you stand now. Hang in there!

Typical EDD... glad you got some info tho. Did they say if there's any way to expedite it?

Thanks everyone. No way to speed it up unfortunately. Just gotta wait it out I guess. 😞

Knowing that there's nothing to expedite can at least help you plan your finances for the next few weeks.

I tried certified mail once and it definitely helped in terms of tracking. They still took their time processing it, but at least I had proof of delivery.

Certified mail can be a good option for peace of mind, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to speed up the actual processing.

LOL I'm dead 💀 But for real, their system is a joke

Haha, at this point I'm willing to try anything! Maybe I'll try carrier pigeons next 🐦

It's sad that this joke resonates so much with everyone. There must be a way to improve this!

Thanks for the advice! But getting through on the phone is another nightmare. Any tips for that?

Omg yes! I second this. ALWAYS call to confirm. It's a pain but better than waiting forever for nothing.

I've heard some people have luck calling right when they open. But its still a crapshoot tbh

In addition to calling early, sometimes using a different phone line or even calling from a friend's phone can help. It's like magic sometimes.

Three weeks? That's such a long time to wait just to get a confirmation. It's frustrating how inefficient the system is for something so important.

2 months?! That's insane. How are people supposed to survive while waiting that long?

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The current system is failing us all.

Budget cuts strike again! It's important to stay informed about how these cuts affect essential services.
