I found a way to solve disability payments suddenly stopping, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Ai2Hj9buo

Sending positive vibes your way, OP! 💖 This stuff is stressful, but you've got this. Don't let the bureaucracy get you down!

Ugh, classic EDD nonsense. I swear they do this on purpose to make us give up. Have you tried calling them? Be prepared to spend hours on hold tho 🙄

Bro, I feel you. EDD is a clown show 🤡 I've been fighting with them for months. Keep calling and don't let them off the hook!

guys, we should start a support group or something. "EDD Survivors" lmao 🤣

Has anyone tried the EDD chatbot on their website? I know it's not as good as talking to a real person, but sometimes it can help with simple issues.

Have you checked if there were any policy changes recently? Sometimes they implement new rules and don't communicate them well. Might be worth looking into.

unpopular opinion: maybe try going to the EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face gets better results

Friendly reminder to everyone: don't forget to certify for benefits every two weeks, even if you're not receiving payments. It can help prevent further issues down the line.

Hey OP, how long were you receiving benefits before they stopped? There might be a time limit you hit without realizing it.

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

Honestly, the whole system needs an overhaul. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. Anyone know if there's any legislation in the works to fix this mess?

OMG THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO!!!! i thought i was the only one 😭 solidarity, friend. we're all in the same sinking boat here

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what they said. It'll help if you need to escalate your case later.

y'all ever notice how the EDD website always seems to be "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🤔 Coincidence? I think not!

I had the same issue last year! It's frustrating, but here's what worked for me: 1. Gather all your claim documents and payment history 2. Call EDD first thing in the morning (like 7:59 AM) 3. Be polite but firm with the rep 4. Ask specifically why payments stopped and what you need to do to restart them 5. Get a reference number for your call Good luck! The system is a mess, but don't give up!

Plot twist: what if EDD is actually run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels and that's why everything takes so long? 🐹💨

To address the original post, it's crucial to remain proactive and diligent in your efforts to resolve the stoppage in disability payments. First, ensure that there's no outstanding paperwork, such as medical certifications, that EDD might need. Consistently checking your EDD online account can also reveal notifications or requests from them that you might have missed. Utilizing tools like Claimyr can indeed help in bypassing long wait times. While $20 may seem like an investment, it could save considerable time and stress if you can afford it. However, be cautious and verify the legitimacy of such services through reviews or recommendations. If all else fails, visiting your local EDD office or contacting your state representative can sometimes circumvent the inefficiencies of the phone system. Documenting every interaction with EDD—time, date, and details of the conversation—can also be invaluable if you need to escalate the matter. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits, and persistence can often pay off.

have you checked your online account? sometimes theres a message or required action you mightve missed. worth a shot before you spend 10 hours on hold lol

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? They sometimes can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!
