No response from EDD after 3 weeks - Is this normal for disability claims?

Hey everyone, I'm waiting on my disability claim and I'm getting a bit anxious. I haven't heard anything back yet, and I'm wondering if that's normal. Would they let me know if there was an issue with my paperwork? I'm trying to figure out if I should call them or if this is just a typical wait situation. Anyone been through this recently?

Ugh, the waiting game with EDD is the worst! šŸ˜« I've been there, buddy. In my experience, they usually do notify you if there's a problem with your paperwork. But their system can be slow AF. How long have you been waiting?

It's been about 3 weeks now. I guess I'm just getting antsy. Thanks for the reassurance!

3 weeks? You're still in the early stages, my friend. I waited 2 months before I heard anything! Hang in there šŸ’Ŗ

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to know about EDD disability claims: ā€¢ Processing time can vary wildly, from 2-8 weeks on average ā€¢ They WILL contact you if there's an issue with your paperwork ā€¢ No news is generally good news ā€¢ Double-check your online account for any updates or messages ā€¢ Make sure all your docs are filled out correctly and completely ā€¢ If you're really worried, you can try calling, but be prepared for long wait times Remember, the system is often overloaded, so patience is key. Don't stress too much unless you hit the 2-month mark with no word. Good luck!

I found a method to 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

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo.

It took about 45 minutes for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still way better than being stuck on hold yourself!

Hey OP, have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in their system. I missed an important letter cuz I forgot to update my new adress šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you might need to prove you've been trying to resolve an issue. Learned this the hard way šŸ˜…
