Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with EDD? 😅 This stuff is stressful!

I found a method to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried faxing the documents? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes that works better than online submissions. Just a thought!

Ive been in the same boat, my dude. EDD is like trying to sail through a hurricane with a rowboat. Keep pushing and don't let em wear you down!

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to adjust my dates for 3 weeks now. This system is a joke 🤡

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting 6 months for my unemployment. feels like were all just screaming into the void

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

Hey OP, congrats on the new baby! 🎉👶 Don't let this EDD stress ruin your bonding time. Hope it gets sorted soon!

idk man, have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might speed things up 😂

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last year. It took me almost 2 months to get my first payment! The system is so broken 😤

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblyperson? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD issues.

pro tip: call right when they open. youll have a better chance of getting thru before the lines get jammed

Ugh, welcome to the club. I swear the EDD is a black hole where paperwork goes to die. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho 🙄

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep all your receipts and proof of mailing. 2. Try calling first thing in the morning, right when they open. 3. If you can't get through, use the online contact form on the EDD website. 4. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things along. 5. Document everything - dates you mailed, called, any reference numbers. 6. If all else fails, you might need to resend the form. Remember, persistence is key with EDD. Don't give up!

Just wanted to say hang in there everyone. This sucks, but we're all in this together. Don't let the system get you down. We'll get through this! 💪

Am I the only one who's considering learning morse code to try and communicate with them? 😅 ... --- ...

Has anyone else noticed that EDD seems to be extra slow lately? I've been hearing about more and more people waiting months for their benefits. Is there some kind of backlog or system issue going on?

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that works better than calling. EDD's fax system is like, stuck in 1995 but at least it creates a paper trail lol
