EDD SDI claim documents sent - no confirmation. How long to wait for response?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to confirm if EDD received my documents for processing my claim. I sent them in a while ago but haven't heard anything back. Has anyone else been in this situation? How long did it take for you to get a response? I'm getting worried because I really need this claim to go through. Any advice on what I should do next?

Friendly reminder to everyone: be nice to the EDD reps when you do get through. They're overworked and dealing with an outdated system. It's not their fault.

True that. My cousin works for EDD and the stories she tells... yikes.

We should always remember they're just doing their jobs. A little kindness goes a long way.

Anyone else notice that EDD's website is always 'down for maintenance' when you actually need to use it? π

Persistence is definitely key, though it shouldn't have to be this hard.

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the phone lines.

I'm in the same boat. Sent my docs 6 weeks ago and crickets. This is ridiculous. We need to organize and demand better service!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing your documents? My friend swears it worked faster for her.

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? π But hey, at this point I'll try anything!

Many agencies still rely on faxed documents for quicker processing. Worth a try!

Claimyr can be a helpful tool when you're stuck in an EDD communication rut, primarily because it automates the process of getting through to a live agent. However, it's important to weigh the costs. Spending $20 for the service might not be feasible for everyone, especially when trying to stretch every dollar while awaiting a claim resolution. That being said, it has been a lifesaver for many who found themselves locked out of traditional contact methods. As an alternative, consider exhausting all free resources first, such as the EDD website, certified mail, or even reaching out via social media. Balancing persistence with resourcefulness is crucial when dealing with the EDD system. Also, be sure to stay updated on any announcements via EDD's official channelsβthey can sometimes provide more insight into processing delays or other pertinent issues.

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get any real info.

Pro tip: call right when they open. Set an alarm and start dialing at 7:59am. It's still a pain, but your chances are better.

That's a good idea, but it still doesn't seem fair that we have to jump through hoops to get basic info.

Pro tip: if you can, upload your documents directly to your EDD account online. It's faster than mail and you get a confirmation right away.

Uploading online definitely cuts down on the waiting period.

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

While it might work, it's unfortunate we have to resort to paid services just to get through to EDD.

Has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? I'm wondering if that might be faster than calling or mailing.

Guys, I hate to be that person, but... have you considered looking for work while waiting? I know the job market sucks, but it might be faster than waiting for EDD to get their act together.

I mean, they're not wrong. EDD is so slow, might as well try both routes.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in your account.

Here's what I did to finally get a response: 1. Send your documents again via certified mail. Keep the tracking number. 2. File a complaint with your local assemblymember's office. They can often cut through the red tape. 3. Check your EDD account online daily for any updates or messages. 4. If you can, fax your documents too. Sometimes faxes get processed faster. 5. Keep a detailed log of all your attempts to contact EDD. It's a pain, but persistence is key. Don't give up!
