SDI claim disappeared from EDD online system - What to do?

Has anyone else had their SDI claim disappear? I was checking my son's claim online and it's just gone. No explanation, no notification, nothing. It's like it never existed. I'm freaking out because he really needs that money. Anyone know what's going on or what we should do?

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your calls, emails, and interactions with EDD. It'll help if you need to escalate your case

PSA: Make sure you're on the legit EDD website. There are a lot of scam sites out there trying to steal your info. Always double check the URL!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic. Sometimes claims disappear due to system glitches. 2. Document everything. Take screenshots if you can still see any info. 3. Call EDD immediately. Be persistent. Try different times of day. 4. If calling fails, send a secure message through your online account. 5. Consider contacting your local assembly member's office. They can often help. 6. Check if there are any pending forms or certifications you might have missed. 7. Keep certifying for benefits even if the claim isn't visible. Remember, the system is overloaded, but your claim should still be in their database. Stay calm and keep trying!

Anyone else notice that this seems to happen more often at the end of the month? Maybe it's related to their system updates or something

This happened to me and turns out my identity verification didn't go through. Check if you need to reverify through ID.me

Oh no, I didn't even think of that. How do I check for ID verification?

Log into ur EDD account and look for any pending tasks or messages. If u see anything about ID.me, that's probably it

I work in IT and I can tell you, government systems are notoriously outdated. They're probably running on some ancient software that can barely handle the load. Not an excuse, just an explanation

Same boat here. My claim vanished 2 weeks ago. I've been calling non-stop but can't get a human on the line. This system is broken af

I tried Claimyr and while it did help me get through to EDD, the $20 price tag is a bit steep for some. It's a good tool if you really need to urgently speak with someone, but it would be better if EDD improved their accessibility. Also, make sure to explore all free options first, like reaching out through social media or contacting your local representatives.

Good point! Always worth checking cheaper or free alternatives before spending money.

The EDD is a joke. They're probably too busy buying sushi with our tax dollars to actually help us 🍣💸

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
