EDD stopped disability payments after sending second form - What to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having issues with my disability payments. I sent in my form and got one payment, but then they sent me another form and I think it stopped the payments. I was supposed to get paid yesterday but nothing came through. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do?

Ugh, classic EDD nonsense. 🙄 I've been there, buddy. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

I've been trying to call all day but can't get through. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold last week.

30 mins? Luuuucky. I was on hold for 3 hours yesterday and then they hung up on me 😭

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical too, but I was desperate. Got through in about an hour.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken.

I get it, but for me it was worth it. I was losing way more than $20 by not getting my payments sorted out.

This happened to me last month. Turns out they needed additional medical info. Check your online account for any new messages or forms they might need you to fill out.

The EDD is such a joke. They're probably using computers from the stone age to process our claims. 🦕💻 No wonder everything's always messed up.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account for any new messages or forms 2. If nothing there, try to get through on the phone (use the trick someone mentioned about calling right when they open) 3. If you can't get through, send a message through your online account 4. As a last resort, you might need to go to an EDD office in person Don't give up! It's a pain, but persistence is key with these bureaucratic nightmares. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the detailed advice! I'll start working through this list tomorrow.

This is solid advice. I'd add: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online message. It'll help if you need to escalate things later.

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🔌💻 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out and back into your EDD account can show new updates. Worth a shot!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting on a payment for weeks now. This whole system is a joke. We need to organize and demand better service!

Preach! 🙌 Maybe we should start a petition or something?

Good luck with that. The government moves slower than a snail on vacation. 🐌
