EDD SDI claim not updating on portal after doctor submission - What to do?

Ugh, classic EDD. Their system is so slow sometimes. Have you tried calling them directly? It might be worth a shot to see if they can give you any updates.

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all forms and confirmation letters. 2. Keep trying to call EDD. Use the trick someone mentioned about calling right when they open. 3. If you can't get through, consider using an automated calling service. 4. When you do get through, ask specifically why your claim hasn't been updated despite doctor submission. 5. Inquire if any additional information is needed. 6. If they can't resolve it immediately, ask for a specific timeline and next steps. 7. Follow up via email or mail to create a paper trail of your efforts. 8. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

im in the same boat rn. its been 2 weeks and nothin on the portal. this whole system is a joke tbh 🤡

Have you checked if there are any known system issues or maintenance on the EDD website? Sometimes they have delays due to updates.

Friendly reminder to everyone: ALWAYS keep copies of everything you submit to EDD. You never know when you'll need to prove you sent something!
