EDD payment only 1/4 of normal amount for 3 days instead of 2 weeks - disability extended but money needed urgently

Ugh, that sucks man. EDD's been a total mess lately. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be persistent to get answers.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that messed up a bunch of payments. Keep calling and don't give up! They eventually fixed it for me, but it took like 2 weeks of pestering them.

This is why I always tell people to have an emergency fund. You can't rely on the government to get things right, especially with all the budget cuts lately.

Hey, I found a method 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there's more info there about why payments are different. Might save you a phone call if you're lucky.

OK, let me break this down for you. I've been dealing with EDD for years, and here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down the dates of your calls, who you spoke to, and what they said. 2. Check your online account for any messages or notices you might have missed. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting them through social media. Sometimes they respond faster there. 4. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 5. Make sure all your paperwork is in order. Double-check that your doctor sent in everything correctly. 6. If all else fails, file an appeal. You have the right to challenge their decision. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them brush you off. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get what we're owed? the system is rigged against us fr

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough, but you'll get through this. Sending positive vibes your way! ❤️
