EDD SDI claim documents sent - no confirmation. How long to wait for response?

I found a way to solve EDD document confirmation delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1am0eSIGu0

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 They're overworked and dealing with an outdated system.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.

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

KEEP CALLING!!! It took me 47 tries but I finally got through. Don't give up!!!

lol good luck. EDD is a joke. I've been waiting since last year for my claim to be processed. The whole system needs an overhaul.

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!

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough, but you're not alone. We're all in this together. Sending good vibes your way! 💪

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

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

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

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.

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.

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been waiting for 3 months now. EDD is a black hole where documents go to die. Good luck getting any confirmation 🙄

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!

idk if this helps, but I heard they're super backlogged bc of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Doesn't make the wait any easier tho 😕
