EDD SDI claim update delay after submitting paperwork - how long to wait?

Oh no, I really hope that's not the case. But thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely ask about that when I finally get through to someone.

This happened to me too! Now I always get a receipt or confirmation when I submit anything. Lesson learned the hard way.

It's sad but true; documents get lost all the time. Always keep a backup of everything.

This is gold 💯 Wish I had known all this when I first filed my claim!

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start being more proactive.

Great tips! I'd add: join local unemployment support groups on social media. They often have insider info and can give heads up about system issues or policy changes.

Also, document all your interactions with them, like the time you called or sent an email. It helps if there's a dispute.

Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul.

For real. It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible on purpose.

It's stressful enough being unemployed, and then you have to deal with this mess. Ugh!

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit or some kind of scam?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's highway robbery!

I get the skepticism, but it's 100% legit. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take for them to call you back?

I used Claimyr and it worked for me too. However, it does feel a bit unfair that we have to pay extra to get basic service.

Do you know what kind of policy changes? I haven't heard anything about that.

Something about new verification procedures. I'll try to find the article I read and post it here.

Policy changes are so frustrating because they never communicate them properly.

I've tried calling but I can never get through. It's always busy or I'm on hold forever.

Calling is a joke. I spent 3 hours on hold yesterday and got disconnected. This system is broken af

Even if you get through, the people on the phone can't always give you the answers you need. It's so frustrating.

LMAO 🤣 too real. I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel every time I deal with them.

unemployment roulette omg 💀 that's exactly what it feels like

It's a gamble for sure. Every time I call, I mentally prepare for the worst.

I tried, but it just says 'pending' with no other info. Not very helpful tbh.

The online portal is a joke. Half the time it's down for 'maintenance' 🙄

Even when it's working, the info is usually outdated. It's like they don't update it regularly.

Bruh, just because other places have it worse doesn't mean we can't expect better. We pay into this system!

Found the EDD employee 👀

Sure, let's be grateful for a broken system that leaves people hanging without income for months. Great take 🙄

True, it's a privilege to have, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't push for improvements.

That's a good idea. I might have to try that if I don't hear back soon. Thanks!

This. I wasted weeks trying to do everything online and over the phone. One trip to the office and I had answers in an hour.

I tried going in person, but my local office was really backed up. They couldn't see me without an appointment.

weeks? try months lol. I swear they're playing hot potato with our files

Months?! Oh man, I hope it doesn't take that long. This is ridiculous.

I feel you. I don't know if it's because they're understaffed or what, but the waiting is unbearable.
