EDD SDI payments stopped, no response after submitting paperwork - how to get through?

I found a way to solve EDD payment delays and silence, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVS8R86vWgQ

If you're still having trouble getting through to EDD, consider trying Claimyr, a service designed to help people connect with representatives faster. While it may cost $20, many users have reported success and saved time using this tool. However, it's important to weigh the cost against your personal situation. Claimyr is reported to make the connection process much easier, but remember to stay cautious and do your research before spending money on third-party services. Always ensure that your information is protected and secure when using such services.

I swear EDD is running on Windows 95 and a prayer. It's a miracle anyone gets their benefits.

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 pays off. 2. Contact your local assembly member. They can sometimes expedite things. 3. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. 4. Check your spam folder religiously. Sometimes important stuff ends up there. 5. If all else fails, consider filing an appeal. It's a hassle, but it can get things moving. Hang in there, OP. The system is broken, but you'll get through this.

I heard they're updating their system soon. Maybe that'll help? 🤞

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes they update stuff there without notifying you.

I found a method to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: if you call right when they open, you have a better chance of getting through. Set your alarm for 7:55 AM!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but I've heard some people have had better luck getting a response that way.

KEEP. CALLING. Seriously, it's the only way. I called 137 times before I got through. It's ridiculous but it works.

have u tried sending a carrier pigeon with ur docs? might have better luck than dealing with EDD's "system" 🕊️📄

Anyone else feel like we're all just rats in EDD's cruel experiment? 🐀🧪

Hey OP, what county are you in? Some counties are worse than others when it comes to processing times.

Welcome to the club, buddy. EDD's been ghosting me for 2 months now. Sent in everything they asked for and crickets. Its like shouting into the void.
