EDD hasn't processed my mailed ID verification after a month - what to do?

Ugh, welcome to the club 🙄 EDD is notorious for taking their sweet time. I sent my docs in January and didn't hear back for almost 2 months! It's ridiculous how slow they are.

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be proactive and bug them to get anything done. It sucks, but that's how it is with government agencies 🤦‍♂️

Hey, 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

Pro tip: Always send important documents via certified mail with return receipt. That way you have proof they received it. Doesn't speed things up, but at least you can prove you did your part if they try to claim they never got it.

Okay, let me break this down for you: 1. First off, you're not alone. EDD is swamped and their processing times are ridiculous. 2. The official line is that it can take up to 10 business days to process mailed documents. But in reality, it's often much longer. 3. Here's what you can do: - Keep calling. Yes, it's a pain, but persistence pays off. - Check your UI Online account regularly for updates. - If you have a state representative, consider reaching out to their office. They can sometimes expedite things. 4. Document everything. Keep copies of what you sent, when you sent it, and any communication you have with EDD. 5. If it's been more than 30 days, you can file an appeal. It's a hassle, but it might light a fire under them. Hang in there. The system is broken, but eventually, it does work... sort of. 🙃

lol EDD living up to its reputation I see. Maybe try sending a carrier pigeon next time? Might be faster 🐦

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