EDD payment delay after doctor appointment - 1 month wait, no update. Normal?

I found a way to solve EDD payment delays after doctor, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP7PKugVoVE

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been in the same boat for 6 weeks now. The system is totally broken.

It's frustrating that there isn't a universal solution for everyone experiencing these delays. For some, Claimyr has been a lifesaver, providing a much-needed bridge to actually speaking with a representative. However, it's important to remember that not everyone can or wants to pay for such services. Always check if there are free alternatives available, like local assistance programs or community resources. And when you do choose to use a service, verify its legitimacy to avoid scams.

Hot take: maybe if we all Venmo request the EDD, they'll finally notice us 🤔💸

Plot twist: the EDD is actually a social experiment to see how long people can survive without money 🕵️‍♂️

Serious question: has anyone actually received their payment on time? Or is that just a myth at this point?

lol welcome to edd hell. grab a seat, you'll be here a while 🤡

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases. Might be why it's taking so long.

Has anyone tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Asking for a friend... 🐐

Did you call EDD to follow up after your appointment? Sometimes you need to give them a nudge to process things.

guys i think the edd is secretly run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels. prove me wrong

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

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblyperson? They can sometimes help speed things up.

This happened to me last year. Turns out they "lost" my paperwork from the doctor. Make sure to follow up!

Just a heads up, if you're really struggling while waiting, check out r/assistance. They've helped a lot of people in tight spots.

Guys, I think I figured it out. The EDD is using Internet Explorer to process our claims. It all makes sense now.

Anyone else notice how the EDD seems to work at the speed of a sloth on valium? 🦥💊

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update there before sending payment.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of your appointment date, who you saw, and any paperwork you received. 2. Follow up with EDD immediately. Use the online portal if you can't get through by phone. 3. If you don't hear back within 5 business days, escalate to your local assembly member's office. They can often cut through red tape. 4. Check your EDD account daily for any updates or requests for additional information. 5. If you're in dire financial straits, look into local food banks or emergency assistance programs while you wait. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them forget about you!
