EDD hasn't processed my continue claim form for weeks. What can I do?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD is a total nightmare rn. I've been waiting for MONTHS to get my claim sorted out. Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember? Sometimes they can light a fire under EDD's ass.

I swear the EDD is purposely making this difficult to discourage people from claiming benefits. It's ridiculous how broken the system is. 🤬

Have you tried faxing your forms? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes that works better than mailing or emailing. There are online fax services if you don't have access to a fax machine.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD. I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Keep copies of all forms, emails, and notes from phone calls. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Use their online portal if possible. Sometimes it's faster than mail. 4. If you're not getting anywhere, contact your local rep or the EDD ombudsman. 5. Join Facebook groups for EDD claimants. They often have good tips and updates. 6. Check if you qualify for any special programs or extensions. 7. Be prepared for long wait times and conflicting info from different reps. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks, but don't give up!

have u tried going to an EDD office in person? sometimes face-to-face works better

Im in the same boat. been waiting 3 months for them to process my claim. this whole system is a joke

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You might have to try a few days in a row, but that's how I finally got through.

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' our paperwork but never forget to cut off our benefits? 🤔 Makes ya think...
