Finally got through to EDD about SDI claim - paperwork issues being resolved

Congrats on the progress! Here's some advice for others still struggling: • Call early in the morning, right when they open • Have all your paperwork and claim info ready • Be patient but persistent • Ask for a supervisor if you're not getting anywhere • Consider using a call-back service if you're really stuck • Keep detailed notes of all your calls and who you spoke to • Check your online account regularly for updates Don't give up! It can be frustrating, but keep at it. You'll get there eventually.

im in the same boat. been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. this is rediculous

Congrats on getting through! I've been trying for weeks. What time did you call? Any tips?

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of mailing? Heard it might be faster

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Ugh, paperwork issues are the worst. I'm still waiting for mine to be sorted out. Been almost 2 months now. 😫 Glad to hear yours is moving along tho!

anyone else feel like were playing phone tag with the government? 🤡

Glad to hear ur making progress! I've been stuck in limbo for months. Any advice on what to say when u finally get through?

Pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling your local EDD office. Sometimes they can help or at least give u more info

EDD is a joke. I've called 100 times and still can't get through. This whole system needs an overhaul.

I used Claimyr once, and it was quite effective for getting through to EDD. However, $20 can be steep for many people, especially if you have to use it multiple times. It's good to explore free alternative methods first, like calling at off-peak hours or trying different numbers. But if those don't work, Claimyr is a viable option to consider.
