No updates on EDD disability claim - filed weeks ago, no response. How to get answers?

I found a way to solve EDD claim delays and silence, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UK_KHL6pMQ

Pro tip: if u can, apply for PUA instead of regular UI. seems to be moving faster

Thanks for all the replies guys. Glad to know I'm not alone but also... this sucks for all of us 😞

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes they update stuff there without sending notifications

Welcome to the club, buddy. EDD's been ghosting me for weeks too. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our claims 🙄

Here's what you need to do to get your claim moving: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD. 2. Send a written inquiry through your UI Online account. This creates a paper trail. 3. Contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. 4. If you're really desperate, consider using a paid service like the one mentioned above. It's not ideal, but it might be worth it if you're in a tough spot. 5. Be persistent. Keep calling, even if it's frustrating. 6. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes EDD emails end up there. 7. Make sure all your information in the system is up to date. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

{profile 29} It’s clear many are struggling with getting through to EDD and getting updates on claims. While tools like Claimyr offer a potential solution to bypass the endless waiting, it’s essential to weigh the cost against the benefit. For those who desperately need answers quickly, it could be a worthwhile investment to get through to a live agent promptly. However, for those who can afford to wait, saving money and continuing attempts during non-peak hours might eventually pay off. In addition, reaching out to local representatives or community aid organizations can sometimes bring additional support. Balancing patience and persistence is key in navigating the EDD maze.

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

guys i just got through to someone after 2 months!!! keep trying, it can happen!

Same boat here. Filed 2 months ago and crickets. tried calling but its impossible to get through. This whole system is a joke

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? 🤔 file a claim, hear nothing, cant reach anyone... its absurd

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting for 3 months with no update. Anyone know if there's like a secret phone number or email we can use?
