EDD claim taking forever - missing info? Need advice on speeding up process

I found a way to solve EDD unemployment claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-sWYUAJfgA

Ugh, I feel ya. The EDD system is a total nightmare rn. I was in the same boat a few months ago. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do to get your claim moving: 1. Gather all your medical documentation, including dates of treatment and doctor's contact info. 2. Have your claim number and personal details ready. 3. Write down a clear, concise explanation of your situation. 4. Be persistent in trying to reach EDD - use the online portal, send messages, and keep calling. 5. If you can't get through, consider contacting your local state representative's office. They can sometimes expedite claims. 6. Double-check that all your online forms are filled out correctly. 7. If you have any changes in your medical condition or work status, report them immediately. Remember, patience is key. The system is overwhelmed, but keep at it and you'll get through eventually. Good luck!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there and u miss important updates

I swear the EDD is running on Windows 95 or something. How hard is it to update a claim status? 🙄

Hey OP, don't lose hope! I know it sucks rn, but keep pushing. I was in ur shoes last year and it eventually worked out. Sending good vibes ur way ❤️

PSA: If anyone's having trouble with their claim, there's a Facebook group called 'EDD Unofficial' that has tons of helpful info and people who can answer questions.

unpopular opinion: maybe the system is slow bc too many ppl are trying to game it 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading them online? I heard it might be faster.
