I finally got through last week and they told me my claim was denied because of a typo on my application. Now I have to appeal and wait even longer. I'm so done with this BS 😫

Hey OP, what industry did you work in? Some industries have special programs or extensions available. Might be worth looking into!

man, the EDD is such a joke. how hard is it to have a functional website in 2023? 🤡 good luck OP, youre gonna need it

Here's a detailed guide for navigating the EDD system based on my experience: 1. Password Reset: - Try the online 'Forgot Password' option first - If that fails, use the 'Contact Us' form - Last resort: call early in the morning (8 AM sharp) 2. Disability Extension: - Gather all relevant medical documentation - Call and request to speak with a disability claims specialist - Be prepared to fax or upload additional docs 3. General Tips: - Keep a log of all your calls and interactions - Get the name and ID of any rep you speak with - Follow up any phone conversations with an email summary - Check your online account daily for updates Hope this helps! The system is frustrating, but stay persistent. You've got this! 💪

lmao welcome to bureaucracy hell. grab a ticket and enjoy ur stay 🎟️😈

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative for help? I've heard they can sometimes intervene if you're having issues with state agencies.

have u tried faxing ur docs? sounds old school but sometimes it gets to them faster than online uploads lol

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. The waiting game is the worst. Just remember, you're not alone in this struggle. We're all in the same boat, trying to stay afloat. Sending you positive vibes and hoping you get your payment soon! 💖

Have you checked if there were any recent changes to PFL policies? Sometimes they update stuff and don't tell anyone 🙄

oof, PFL claims are the worst. I swear the system is designed to make us give up. Hang in there, OP!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of california bureaucracy 🎉 where everything's made up and the processing times don't matter

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local state representative's office? I've heard they can sometimes help speed things up with EDD claims.

Two weeks aint that long tbh. I waited 6 weeks before I heard anything back. Just gotta be patient

Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The system is rigged against us, I swear.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out to EDD on social media? I tweeted at them and surprisingly got a response pretty quick. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

Ugh, I feel ya. The whole system needs an overhaul. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get the benefits we're entitled to. Hang in there, OP!

This whole system is a joke. We pay into it our whole working lives and when we need it, it's like pulling teeth to get any help. Someone needs to overhaul this entire process. 😤

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it feels hopeless, but it will get sorted eventually. In the meantime, take care of yourself. This stress can really wear you down. Remember to eat, sleep, and maybe try some meditation or something to keep your mind off it. We're all in this together. ❤️

Not to be that guy, but have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under these agencies and get things moving.

Ive been waiting 6 months for my claim to be aproved. Consider yourself lucky 🙃
