EDD paid only 1/4 of usual amount for 3 days instead of 2 weeks despite doctor's extension. What to do?

Ugh, that sucks! I've had similar issues with EDD before. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes theres errors in their system that only get fixed if you talk to someone directly.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials 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 you need to do: 1. Double-check that your doctor's extension paperwork was actually received. Sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle. 2. If EDD has the paperwork, there might be a processing delay. Call and ask for a status update. 3. Request a review of your claim. There could be a calculation error. 4. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite EDD issues. 5. Document everything! Keep a record of all your calls, emails, and paperwork submissions. Hang in there, the system is a mess right now but persistence usually pays off.

edd is such a joke rn 🤡 i swear they're trying to make it impossible to get our money

Have you checked your EDD account online? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional info that can hold up your payments.

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that was affecting a bunch of claims. Keep calling and don't give up!

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out my employer had reported incorrect wages. Might be worth checking with your work too.

CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE!!! Seriously, this is the fastest way to get EDD to move on your claim. They have special liaisons who can cut through the red tape.
