EDD won't send medical examiner referral or process payments - help!

I found a way to solve EDD referral delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v07U-0PhOBw

Ugh, EDD is such a nightmare. I've been in the same boat, waiting for them to send a referral. It took me calling them every single day for two weeks straight before they finally sent it. Keep pushing!

Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what they said. 2. Ask for a supervisor if the regular rep can't help. 3. Contact your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can cut through the red tape. 4. File a formal complaint with EDD. 5. Consider reaching out to local media if it goes on too long. Sometimes public pressure helps. Stay persistent and don't give up. Good luck!

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 u tried faxing them? i know it sounds old school but sometimes it gets their attention faster than calls or emails

This happened to me last year. turns out the examiner's office lost my referral. Make sure you're bugging both EDD AND the examiner's office. Don't assume its just EDD's fault (even tho it usually is lol

edd more like eDD-iot amirite? 🤡

I'm an ex-EDD employee. Here's a pro tip: call right at 8:01 AM. That's when the queue opens and you're most likely to get through. Also, be super nice to the rep - we're more likely to go the extra mile for pleasant callers.

have you tried reaching out on social media? sometimes public callouts on twitter or facebook can light a fire under their a**es

Ugh, I feel for you. I've been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. The whole system needs an overhaul.
