EDD disability claim extension: No updates or payments for months. Help!

I found a way to solve disability claim payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdlNc9XJcNg

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat a few months ago. Have you tried calling the EDD? Fair warning though, it's like trying to win the lottery to get through to a real person.

I found a method that actually works 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 I've learned from dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your calls, letters, and online communications. 2. If you can, use their online portal to check your claim status. Sometimes it's more up-to-date than what they tell you on the phone. 3. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help push things along. 4. Be persistent but polite. The people on the phone didn't cause the delay, but they might be able to help. 5. Check if there are any forms you need to fill out for the extension. Sometimes they don't tell you about these. 6. 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 a mess, but don't give up!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there lol

I swear the EDD is run by a bunch of 🤡🤡🤡 How hard is it to process claims and send updates? We're not asking for the moon here!

Guys, I think I figured out why everything's so slow. EDD actually stands for Extremely Delayed Department. Mystery solved! 🕵️‍♂️

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing them? I heard it might be faster, but idk if that's just an urban legend at this point.

OP, whatever you do, don't give up. I know it feels hopeless, but persistence is key. Took me 5 months to get my issue resolved, but it finally happened. Sending good vibes your way! ✨

I'm going through the exact same thing right now - filed for extension months ago and radio silence since then. One thing that helped me was sending a certified letter to their main office with copies of all my documentation. At least that way you have proof they received it and a timeline. Also, try logging into your online account daily - sometimes status updates appear there before you get any mail. I know it's exhausting, but don't lose hope. The system is broken but your claim is still valid. Keep fighting for what you're owed! 💪
