EDD SDI payment delay after disability extension - How to check status?

Faxing seems outdated but if it works, it works. Worth a try in these situations!

Yep, it's a total mess. I heard they had a bunch of temp workers during the pandemic peak and now they're all gone. We're back to skeleton crew I guess 🙄

Maybe if they paid their workers better, they'd have enough staff to actually help us 🤷‍♀️ Just a thought, EDD!

Increasing staffing and better resource allocation could definitely improve the system's efficiency.

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping better records of my interactions with them.

This is gold 💯 Wish I had known all this when I first started dealing with EDD. You're the real MVP!

Adding to this: if you're using social media, try engaging with EDD there. Public pressure sometimes works wonders!

Yeah, I've tried calling but it's impossible to get through. I've been on hold for hours and then get disconnected. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins of waiting last week. Good luck!

That's solid advice. Sometimes, calling during non-peak hours helps, like lunchtime. Worth a try!

Instructions unclear. Sacrificed my bank account instead. Still no payment. Send help.

LOL thanks for the laugh. I needed that today 😂

If only it were that easy! Humor helps cope with these tough situations.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been checking my account daily but no updates yet. It's so stressful not knowing when the money will come through.

Online account updates are hit or miss tbh. I've had payments show up without any notice before. The whole system is a crapshoot 🤷‍♂️

True, but it's always good to keep an eye on it. Sometimes glitches happen, but better safe than sorry.

Sounds sketchy. Is it legit? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

Totally get the skepticism, but it's 100% legit. I was desperate and took a chance. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take to get connected to an agent using this?

Seems like a good option if you're really stuck. But yeah, $20 is a lot if you're already strapped for cash.

Preach! 🙌 It's like they want us to give up and just live on the streets or smthn

Ikr? It's a total clown show 🤡 We pay into this system our whole lives and this is what we get? Smh

Totally. It's so frustrating when the system is supposed to support us, not hinder us.

Thanks, I really appreciate the support. It helps to know I'm not alone in this mess.

That's the spirit! We need to support each other through these tough times.

I hadn't thought of that! Do you know how I would go about contacting them?

Just google your district and 'assemblymember' or 'state senator'. Their websites usually have a 'contact us' form. Explain your situation and they might be able to help!

Great tip! Sometimes public officials can cut through red tape that we'd never manage on our own.

Lmao imagine the headlines: 'Angry mob of unemployed people take over government building' 🤣

Bruh, chill. We don't need another Jan 6th situation 😅

Let's keep it peaceful, people. Change comes with persistence, not chaos.
