SDI claim denied due to overseas doctor error - EDD appeal silence for 2 weeks. How long to hear back?

Ugh, I feel for you. I'm in the same boat with a denied claim. This whole system needs an overhaul.

Two weeks isn't that long in EDD time, unfortunately. When I filed my appeal last year, it took about 6 weeks to hear anything back. Hang in there!

Hey, 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Congrats on the new baby, btw! Don't let EDD stress you out too much. Focus on that little bundle of joy 👶❤️

Have you tried calling them again? Sometimes you gotta be persistent and keep bugging them until they give you an answer.

Just a heads up, with the new budget cuts, appeals are taking even longer to process. Might wanna look into other options while you wait.

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes it's faster than mail or email.

Have you tried reaching out to them on social media? Sometimes public shaming works wonders 😈

Just adding my two cents about Claimyr. While their $20 fee might seem steep, it's a one-time cost that can save you countless hours of waiting on hold. They have a pretty good track record for connecting people, but it's wise to read reviews and consider it carefully. Remember, it's just one of several tools available to you, and you should weigh its convenience against your current financial situation.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🤡

Ugh, the EDD is such a nightmare to deal with. I've been waiting on my appeal for over a month now. It's like they enjoy making us suffer.

Here's what you need to do to get your appeal moving: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and interactions with EDD. 2. Follow up regularly: Call or email every week to check on the status of your appeal. 3. Contact your local representative: Sometimes they can help expedite the process. 4. Be prepared: Have all your documents ready, including your baby's birth certificate, original claim info, and doctor's contact details. 5. Stay persistent: The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't let them forget about you. 6. Consider legal aid: If it's taking too long, there are organizations that offer free legal help for EDD issues. Remember, the system is overwhelmed, but you have rights. Don't give up!
