EDD website not showing claim ID after doctor submission - what to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having a weird issue with my disability claim. My doctor says they submitted everything, but when I check the EDD website, there's no claim ID showing up. Has anyone else run into this problem? It's been a few days now and I'm starting to get worried. Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel your pain! 😫 I had the same issue last month. It's so frustrating when you're trying to do everything right and the system just doesn't work. Have you tried calling EDD directly? It might take forever to get through, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been trying to call but keep getting the busy signal. Guess I'll just keep at it 🤷‍♂️

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. That's how I finally got through after days of trying!

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. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? Idk man, seems kinda steep just to make a phone call 🤔

I get the skepticism, but honestly, after spending hours trying to get through, it was worth every penny to me. Saved me so much time and stress.

Can you give more details about how it works? Like, do you have to keep your phone line open or something?

Nah, that's the beauty of it. You just put in your number and they call you when they get a real person. You can go about your day and not waste time listening to hold music.

Have you double-checked with your doctor's office? Sometimes there can be a mix-up on their end. I had a similar issue and it turned out my doc's assistant had typed in the wrong info 🤦‍♂️

The EDD system is such a joke tbh. It's like they're stuck in the stone age or smthn. You'd think with all the taxes we pay, they could at least have a functioning website 🙄

Here's what you need to do: 1. Contact your doctor's office and confirm they submitted the correct information. Get the exact date they sent it. 2. Call EDD (I know, easier said than done) and ask them to check if they received the doctor's submission. Sometimes there's a lag in their system. 3. If EDD says they don't have it, ask your doctor to resubmit. 4. Keep a paper trail of everything - dates, names of who you spoke to, etc. 5. If it's been more than 10 business days since your doctor submitted and still no claim ID, file a complaint with EDD. 6. As a last resort, contact your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them give you the runaround. Good luck!

Man, I feel for ya. Been in the same boat. The whole system is FUBAR if you ask me. Hang in there, hopefully it'll get sorted soon!
