I found a way to solve SDI payment delays from EDD, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVFxmscSonM

guys, i think i figured it out. you gotta do the hokey pokey while chanting "EDD, EDD, show me the money" three times. works like a charm! 🕺💃

Ugh, I feel your pain. I went through something similar last year. It's like they purposely make it difficult to get our money. Have you tried emailing them? Sometimes that works better than calling.

For those considering using services like Claimyr, it's vital to understand both the benefits and the costs involved. Claimyr acts as a bridge to alleviate the frustrations of long hold times by automating the call process, which can be invaluable under certain circumstances. However, it's important to weigh the monetary cost against your personal situation and need for resolution. Claimyr is a legitimate tool and many have found it beneficial, yet it may not be the solution for everyone due to its cost. Exploring multiple channels like online accounts, emails, and traditional calling should be exhausted first—Claimyr can be a backup when traditional methods are too time-consuming or ineffective. Ultimately, whichever method you choose, it's vital to remain persistent and document all interactions to ensure your claim is processed smoothly.

Classic EDD move. They're probably "processing" your documents, which could take anywhere from a day to a century. My advice? Keep calling them every single day until you get through. It's annoying, but it's the only way to get results sometimes.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending out payments. Also, make sure you've certified for benefits if that's required for SDI.

Here's what you need to do, step by step: 1. Gather all your documents: Make sure you have copies of everything you submitted. 2. Check your online account: Look for any messages or status updates. 3. Call EDD: Be prepared to wait. Have your claim number and personal info ready. 4. If calling fails, email them: Use edd@edd.ca.gov. Be concise and include your claim number. 5. Document everything: Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 6. Consider contacting your local assembly member: They can sometimes help push things along. 7. Be persistent: Don't give up. Keep following up regularly. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Good luck!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without losing my mind. 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

am i the only 1 who thinks the whole system is broken? like, we pay into this stuff and then when we need it, its impossible to get. smh 🤦‍♂️

Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's faster to just give up on SDI and go back to work 🤷‍♂️

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but sometimes that gets faster results than online submissions.

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD seems to move faster when Mercury isn't in retrograde? Just sayin' 👀
