SDI claim vanished from EDD app - filed 8/21, no payments yet. Help!
My SDI claim disappeared from the EDD app. It was showing pending processing yesterday, but when I opened the app today, the claim number and info were gone from the pending claim column. I filed on 8/21 and haven't received any payments yet. My doctor sent the required note on 8/23. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm worried about my claim status and when I might get paid. Any advice on what to do?

Ugh, that sucks! The EDD system is so glitchy. I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried logging out and back in? Sometimes that fixes weird app issues.

Yeah, I tried that already. No luck 😞 The claim is still missing.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 🤦♂️

I get the skepticism, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth it IMO.

How long did you have to wait after using the service?

It took about 45 minutes, but I just went about my day until they called me back. Way better than being stuck on hold myself.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Take screenshots of your claim history if you can still access it online. 2. Call EDD first thing in the morning (right when they open). 3. Be prepared with your claim number, filing date, and doctor's note date. 4. Ask them to verify your claim status and why it disappeared from the app. 5. Request an estimated payment date. 6. Get the name of the rep you speak with and a reference number for the call. If they can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor. Don't hang up until you get answers!

This is solid advice. I'd add: keep a log of all your calls and interactions. It might come in handy later.

Have you checked your spam folder for any emails from EDD? Sometimes they send important updates that get filtered out.

Good idea, I'll double-check. Didn't see anything earlier but worth another look.

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system during an update. It took about a week, but my claim reappeared. Still, I'd recommend calling to make sure everything's ok on their end.

That's reassuring to hear. Did you have to do anything on your end to get it fixed?

Nope, it just showed up again. But I did call them to confirm everything was still processing correctly.

PSA: Always, ALWAYS keep physical copies of everything you submit to EDD. Their system is about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. 🍫☕

💯 THIS. I learned this the hard way. Now I have a whole folder dedicated to EDD paperwork.
