EDD SDI payments 2 months late - anyone else waiting or have advice?

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 🤣 But at this point, I'm desperate enough to try anything. Thanks for the tip!

Can confirm, faxing worked for me! Took a week but I finally got a response. Worth a shot!

Yep, faxing seems old school, but sometimes it's the only way to get through to these outdated systems.

Yeah, I've checked but it just says 'pending' with no other info. So frustrating!

Ugh, that sucks. The whole system is a joke tbh. Hope you get it sorted soon!

Same issue here! I think the system gets jammed up with too many pending claims. Hang in there!

I'm in! What do you suggest we do?

Count me in too. This is getting ridiculous.

Let's start a petition and flood their social media. Maybe even organize a protest outside EDD offices. We need to make noise!

Organizing sounds like a great idea. We need to hold them accountable!

Bruh, are you for real? People have bills to pay and families to feed. We can't wait forever.

Found the EDD employee 👀

Jeez, I'm just trying to look on the bright side. No need to attack me.

I get where you're coming from, but it's tough to stay positive when you're struggling to make ends meet.

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! I'll definitely try these steps. Really appreciate it! 🙏

This is gold 💯 Saving this for later, thanks!

Great advice! I'd add: make sure all your info is up to date in the system. A friend of mine had payments delayed cuz of an old address.

For real, double checking your information can save a lot of headaches. It's surprising what small errors can hold up payments.

Yeah, I've tried calling but it's impossible to get through. Always busy or they hang up on me. 😤

Same here. I've called like 50 times and nothing. This system is so broken.

Honestly, I think they're just understaffed and overwhelmed. I've heard of people having better luck calling at odd hours, like early morning or late evening.

I used Claimyr and it worked for me. It was a bit pricey, but I finally got through and got my issues resolved.

I'm still skeptical about paying for something like this, but if it works, it might be worth trying.

That's solid advice. A little kindness can go a long way.

Preach! 🙌 UBI would solve so many problems.

Yeah, but who's gonna pay for that? Nothing's free, my friend.

Implementing UBI would require careful planning, but it could definitely help in situations like this.

LOL if only! I'd love to visit that universe right about now 😂

Bruh 🤣🤣🤣

Now that's a universe I wouldn't mind staying in! 😂

Great idea! Public pressure can definitely make a difference.

Wait, seriously? $20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous!

I know it sounds crazy, but after months of trying, it was worth it to me. Got my issue resolved in one call.

Idk man, sounds like a scam to me. How do we know this is legit?

I get the skepticism, but it's not a scam. They don't ask for any personal info, just your phone number to forward the call. You can look up reviews online.

I tried it too, and while it's not ideal to pay, it did help me finally resolve my issues. Just wish it was more accessible for everyone.

That's a good point. I know some local charities that have been helping people in situations like ours.

I know, right? It's like they don't even care about us. 😩

Good call! The ombudsman helped me once. They're usually pretty responsive.
