EDD SDI payment delays since May: Missing form, 'qualified' status, no deposit - Help!

I'm having some serious issues with my disability benefits and I'm at my wits end. I haven't been paid since May and now I'm dealing with a bunch of problems. First, I was supposed to get a form for continued disability benefits, but it never showed up. The deadline was last Saturday and now my next payment is gonna be delayed. On top of that, I finally got a payment processed but it's not showing up in my account. And to make things even more confusing, the payment status says 'qualified' instead of 'payment'. Has anyone else dealt with this mess? Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

When dealing with EDD, patience and persistence are key. If you're struggling, try using all available resources, such as the online portal for message submission, reaching out to local assembly members, and utilizing services like Claimyr to save time. Remember, while Claimyr can be a helpful tool to bypass long wait times, it's important to evaluate if the additional cost is worth it for your situation. Most importantly, maintain a detailed record of all your interactions with EDD, whether it's phone calls, emails, or mailed documents. This will be invaluable if any disputes arise. While these actions might feel tedious, they can significantly improve your chances of resolving these issues. The EDD system, with its complexities, requires a strategic approach, and leveraging your community for tips and support, as seen here, can also be beneficial.

Listen up, I've been through this rodeo before and I've got some tips for you: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and form submissions. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. 3. Use the online portal to send messages. Sometimes it's faster than calling. 4. If you can't get the form, fill out the DE2501 Continued Claim Form. You can find it online. 5. For the payment issue, check your payment method. Make sure they have the right direct deposit info or address for checks. 6. 'Qualified' usually means it's been approved but not sent yet. Give it a few days. 7. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member or state senator. They can often cut through the red tape. Stay strong, OP. You'll get through this bureaucratic BS!
