Not to be that guy, but are you sure you submitted it correctly? Double-check that you didn't miss any required fields or approvals. I've seen people wait weeks only to realize they forgot to hit 'submit' at the end 🤦‍♂️

Plot twist: what if the timesheet processor is on vacation and no one's covering for them? 🕵️‍♀️ Happened at my last job. Chaos ensued.

Has anyone had luck with the online portal? I've been trying to check my claim status there but it never seems to update.

Quick question - how long did it take for your claim to be processed once you got through? I'm trying to plan my finances and idk how long I'll be waiting.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling one of the other departments and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works like a charm!

Hang in there, OP! I know it's stressful, but you'll get it sorted. Don't let EDD drama take away from this special time with your little one. Sending positive vibes your way! ❤️

idk if this helps, but I found that calling first thing in the morning (like right when they open) gave me the best chance of getting through to someone. might be worth a shot!

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they make it as difficult as possible on purpose.

Hey guys, I know this is frustrating but I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about these issues. 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.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

Has anyone had luck with the EDD's new chatbot? I've been trying to use it but it seems pretty useless tbh

Dont forget to factor in taxes! EDD doesn't withhold anything, so you might wanna set some money aside so you're not caught off guard come tax season.

lol welcome to government efficiency at its finest 🤡 good luck OP

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails end up there. Also, make sure the contact info on your application is correct.

Friendly reminder to everyone: don't post any personal info or claim numbers here! Stay safe, folks.

Anyone else notice that it seems to go faster if you filed online vs paper forms? Or am I just imagining things?

I heard a rumor that they're prioritizing certain industries for faster approval. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

Pro tip: if you're really desperate, reach out to your local congressperson's office. They sometimes have ways to expedite these things.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for weeks to hear back about my forms. This whole system is broken af 😤

Pro tip: if you can, go to an EDD office in person. I know it's a hassle, but I finally got everything sorted when I did that. Bring ALL your paperwork with you!
