Not to be that person, but have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from EDD end up there. Just a thought!

This might sound crazy, but try faxing your documents. I know, its like were back in the 90s, but it worked for me when nothing else did. 🤷‍♂️

Unpopular opinion: sometimes switching attorneys can actually speed things up. If yours isn't being proactive, it might be worth shopping around.

Hot take: the whole SSDI system needs a major overhaul. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops when we're already dealing with disabilities. 😤

Anyone else notice that the EDD seems to be processing claims faster lately? Or am I just lucky?

Guys, I've compiled a comprehensive guide on navigating EDD issues based on my experience and tips from this community. Hope it helps! 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and interactions with EDD. 2. Use the right keywords: When filing, use specific terms like 'laid off' or 'reduction in hours' to avoid flags. 3. Double-check your entries: Small typos can cause big delays. 4. Utilize your local representatives: They can often expedite your case. 5. Stay persistent: Don't give up, keep calling and following up. 6. Join Facebook groups: There are some great communities with up-to-date info. 7. Check your spam folder: Important EDD emails sometimes end up there. 8. Use the UI Online portal: It's often faster than calling. 9. Be prepared for identity verification: Have all your documents ready. 10. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really stuck. Remember, we're all in this together. Don't lose hope! 💪

Guys, I'm freaking out. I'm about to miss my rent payment because of this delay. Any ideas for emergency assistance while we wait?

Plot twist: what if we all show up at their office with sleeping bags and camp out until they process our claims? Who's in? ⛺️😂

Just a heads up, I submitted my update last month and got a response in about 3 weeks. They asked for additional info tho, so now I'm back to waiting again. It's like a never-ending cycle 😫

Anyone else feel like were playing a game of telephone with EDD? 📞🙉🙈🙊

Not to be that guy, but have you tried, ya know, googling it? 🤔 Sometimes you can find PDFs of these forms floating around on other sites.

Congrats on the new addition to your family! 👶 Don't let the EDD stress you out too much. You'll get it sorted eventually. Enjoy those baby snuggles!

Quick question - are you sure its actually unpaid and not just delayed? Sometimes they batch payments and it can take a while to process. Might be worth double-checking your bank statements just in case.

Pro tip: Keep a log of every single interaction you have with PFL. Date, time, who you talked to, what they said. It'll save you so much hassle later if things get messy.

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? smh

Have you tried faxing your documents? Sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur agencies lol

Anyone else think its crazy that in 2024 we still cant get a simple online status update? Like, how hard would it be to give us some actual info instead of just 'processing' for weeks on end? 🙄

Protip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the actual call center.

I had a similar issue and what finally worked was contacting my state assembly member. Their office has direct lines to EDD and can often get things moving. Worth a shot!

idk if this helps but I got my issue resolved by blowing up their Twitter. Public shaming seems to work wonders these days 🙃
