EDD SDI claim filed 2 months ago, no response or payment. What to do?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been there before. Here's what I'd suggest: • Call them ASAP. The longer you wait, the more backed up you'll be. • When you call, be prepared with your claim number and all relevant dates. • Ask specifically if there are any pending documents they need from you. • Request a timeline for when you can expect a response or payment. • Get the name of the person you speak with and a reference number for the call. Stay persistent! Sometimes you gotta be the squeaky wheel to get the grease. Good luck!

bruh edd is a joke fr 🤡 i filed in november and still waiting. this system is broken af

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there before sending anything out. Also, make sure you didn't miss any mail from them asking for additional info.

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

pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling one of the smaller field offices. sometimes theyre less busy and can still help

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with EDD issues. It's like having someone go to bat for you.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try faxing them? I know it sounds ancient, but I've heard some people have success because hardly anyone uses fax anymore so it gets attention.

guys im in the same boat.filed in december, radio silence since then. this whole situation is giving me mad anxiety. how r we supposed to survive while they take their sweet time??

Two months is way too long! I went through something similar last year. Here's what finally got things moving for me: 1. Call the EDD disability line at 8am SHARP - they open at 8 and that's your best shot at getting through 2. When you get the automated menu, press 1-2-4 (that usually gets you to a human faster) 3. Have your Social Security number, claim number, and the exact dates you filed ready 4. Ask them to check if your claim is "pending" or if there's a "stop payment" flag 5. Request they email you a summary of your call Also, check if your doctor submitted the medical certification form properly - that's a common holdup. I had to bug my doctor's office twice because they "forgot" to send it. Don't give up! The system is broken but you deserve your benefits. Keep calling every day if you have to.
