SDI claim stalled: No payments or certifications for over a year - Need advice on EDD extension

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with EDD for months now. Here's what I'd suggest: 1. Be super clear about when you last received payments 2. Ask why you're not getting certification messages 3. Explain that your claim's been open for over a year and you think it needs extending 4. Ask what steps you need to take to get your payments going again Good luck! The system is so broken 😫

An option to consider is the Claimyr service that some have mentioned. While Claimyr offers a way to connect with EDD faster, it is crucial to weigh its cost against personal convenience. For $20, it connects you with an EDD agent but does not guarantee issue resolution. It can be a real time-saver for those exhausted by constant redialing. Remember, EDD's backlog and systemic issues may mean that even with Claimyr's service, resolving your claim could take time. Ensure you have all necessary documentation and information ready once you get through. Additionally, consider reaching out to your local representatives, as persistent systemic issues often require more than just individual efforts.

Has anyone else noticed that the certification messages seem to be glitching lately? I wonder if it's a system-wide issue

I'm in the same boat. My claim's been open forever and I haven't seen a dime in months. The whole system is a joke 🤡

Bump! I'm having the exact same issue. Any updates, OP?

lol good luck. EDD is where dreams go to die 💀

Have you tried calling them? I know it's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get things sorted out.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a record of all your attempts to contact EDD. 2. When you get through, be polite but firm. Explain your situation clearly. 3. Ask specifically about extending your claim and why you're not receiving certification messages. 4. If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor. 5. If all else fails, contact your state representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD messages end up there

Have you tried logging into your account on the EDD website? Sometimes you can see info there that doesn't come through in messages

Sending positive vibes your way, OP! Dealing with EDD is like pulling teeth. Hope you get it sorted soon 🤞

This is why we need universal basic income. The current system is a joke
