EDD Application Pending Since September - No Updates. What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated. My unemployment application has been pending since September and I haven't heard anything back. It's been months now and I'm starting to worry. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait time? Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was stuck in limbo for 4 months before I finally got an update. Have you tried calling the EDD? It's a nightmare to get through, but it might be worth a shot.

I've tried calling so many times, but I always get the 'we're too busy' message. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.

September?! That's insane. I thought my 6-week wait was bad. The system is totally broken. Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

I get it, but think about how much time you waste trying to call yourself. For me, it was a no-brainer.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD. 2. Check your online account daily for any updates or requests for additional info. 3. Try calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon - these are usually less busy times. 4. Reach out to your state representative or senator. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 5. If you're really desperate, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to get through to an agent. 6. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for unemployment support. Sometimes you can get insider tips there. 7. Be persistent! Don't give up. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat, friend. Applied in October and still nothing. This whole system is a joke. We're just trying to survive here!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard some people have had success that way. Might be worth a shot?

Not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you filled out everything correctly? A tiny mistake can cause major delays.

Yeah, I've gone over it a million times. Everything looks correct as far as I can tell.
