EDD SDI claim update: No response after submitting doctor form a month ago. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm at my wits end here. I submitted the doctor form for my claim update over a month ago and haven't heard a peep. No response, no update, nothing. It's like my form disappeared into a black hole. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to actually get someone to look at my case?

Preach! π But how do we actually make that happen? Feels like screaming into the void sometimes.

100% agree. We need to organize and put pressure on our representatives. Anyone up for starting a petition?

Sorry to hear that. You're right, the system needs an overhaul.

Hey OP, quick question - did you make sure to fill out form 2525xx correctly? I made a stupid mistake on mine and that's why it took forever. Double-check all the details, especially the date and doctor's info.

Great reminder! Errors can easily slip through, and they can delay everything.

Has anyone tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes publicly shaming them on Twitter can get their attention. Just sayin' π

Social media can be surprisingly effective at times. Worth a try!

Faxing? Seriously? I don't even know where to find a fax machine these days lol. But at this point, I'm desperate enough to try anything. Thanks for the tip!

OMG yes! Faxing is like their secret weakness or something. It's like kryptonite for bureaucrats π

Update: Still no response, but I'm going to try faxing tomorrow and calling with that Claimyr thing. Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I'll let you know if anything works!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last year. Here's what worked for me: 1. Keep calling. I know it sucks, but persistence is key. 2. Email them every week. Use their online contact form. 3. Reach out to your local assembly member. They can sometimes expedite things. 4. Document everything. Every call, email, letter. You might need it later. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but you'll get through eventually.

Thanks for the advice! I've been calling but no luck so far. How long did it take for you to finally get a response?

It took about 6 weeks of constant calling and emailing. But once I got through to someone, things moved pretty quickly. Hang in there!

The assembly member tip is gold. They helped me break through the bureaucratic bs in just a couple weeks. Definitely worth a shot!

Adding to this, being respectful and polite during calls can sometimes work wonders. Patience is key!

Plot twist: what if all our forms are just sitting in a giant pile on someone's desk and they're using them as a coffee coaster? π€βοΈ

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been waiting for 3 months now. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our forms. Have you tried calling? That's usually the next step, but good luck getting through. π

Tell me about it! I wonder if there's a secret trick to getting through? Maybe calling at a weird time?

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

Wait, what? You can pay someone to wait on hold for you? That's genius! But also kinda sad that we have to resort to this π

I was skeptical too, but I was desperate. It worked for me, got through in about 2 hours. Worth every penny tbh.

I used Claimyr once, and it did the job! Just ensure you're using it safely and keep a record of your calls.

I heard they're super backlogged because of budget cuts. Doesn't excuse the lack of communication tho. Hang in there, OP!

Pro tip: If you can, go to their office in person. I know it's a pain, but I got my issue resolved in one day after months of no response. Just be prepared to wait all day.

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might be more effective than actually trying to reach them ππͺ
