EDD SDI claim status check - doctor submitted continued form, no response. Best way to get update?

I found a way to solve checking disability claim status, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P3uJiMYWsI

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but sometimes it works when nothing else does lol

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting on my claim for weeks. Have you tried checking your status online? Sometimes it updates there before they actually contact you.

One additional resource you might consider is Claimyr, as mentioned by others. Claimyr offers a method to connect with a live agent at the EDD without the long wait times many experience when calling directly. While it is a paid service, many users have found it helpful in expediting their claims. However, it's important to weigh the cost against potential benefits. Additionally, reaching out to a local representative can sometimes apply pressure on state agencies to act, since these offices often have dedicated staff to assist constituents with such matters. Ultimately, persistence is key when dealing with bureaucratic processes, but leveraging multiple channels and documenting each step can increase the likelihood of a successful resolution.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just give up on EDD and start a commune or something 🤔 who's with me?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I've tried calling but can never get through. It's so frustrating!

This whole situation is ridiculous. We need to demand better from our government. Who's up for organizing a protest outside the EDD office? 👀

I feel your pain. been dealing with EDD for months now. Its like talking to a brick wall sometimes. hang in there!

Been there, done that. The EDD system is a nightmare to navigate. Have you tried calling their hotline? Be prepared to spend hours on hold tho 🙄

Guys I just got through to EDD after 3 weeks of trying!!! There is hope! Keep pushing!

Here's what you need to do to check on your disability claim status: 1. Gather all your info: claim number, date of submission, etc. 2. Try online first: - Go to SDI Online (https://edd.ca.gov/disability/) - Log in and check your claim status - Look for any messages or requests for additional info 3. If online doesn't help, call EDD: - Disability Insurance: 1-800-480-3287 - Best times to call: early morning or late afternoon - Be prepared for long wait times 4. When you get through: - Ask about the status of your continued claim form - Inquire if any additional documentation is needed - Get a reference number for the call 5. Follow up: - If they say they'll process something, ask for a timeframe - Mark your calendar to follow up if you don't hear back Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but keep trying. Good luck!

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

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot if you're really stuck.
