EDD SDI pregnancy claim filed a month ago, no response - How long until approval?

I found a way to solve EDD pregnancy disability claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpxuEmcUnUs

Did you file online or by mail? Online is usually faster in my experience.

Plot twist: the EDD is actually run by a bunch of sloths. That's why everything takes foreverrrrr 🦥

Have you checked if there's any missing info on your application? Sometimes they don't tell you if something's incomplete and it just sits there.

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you can get more info if you actually talk to someone.

Anyone else notice that EDD seems extra slow lately? I wonder if they're short-staffed or something.

Hang in there, OP! I know it's tough but your claim will get processed eventually. Try to stay positive 💪

It sounds like you're dealing with a really difficult situation. One service that might help is Claimyr, which can connect you to a representative more quickly, albeit with a fee. While this service has received positive feedback from users who have faced similar delays, it's important to weigh whether the cost is justified for you. For those who don't want to spend the money, persistently calling EDD as soon as they open seems to be the best alternative. Remember to document every interaction and consider reaching out to local representatives who might assist in expediting your claim. It's also advisable to double-check for any missing documents or incomplete information in your application. While these processes can be frustrating, maintaining a proactive and patient approach will eventually lead to resolution.

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last year. It took them almost 2 months to process my claim. The waiting game is brutal 😫

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your docs: claim number, SSN, medical info, etc. 2. Keep calling every day. Be persistent! 3. If you can't get through, try contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help speed things up. 4. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 5. Check your online account regularly for updates. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where nothing makes sense and timeframes are made up

Honestly, at this point I'm convinced they just throw darts at a board to decide which claims to process 🎯

I found a way to actually 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
