EDD Application Pending Since September - No Updates. What to Do?

I found a way to solve unemployment application pending issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h6luRs7F48

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.

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

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!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there. just a thought 🤔

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?

OMG SAME!!! i've been waiting since august and im bout to lose my mind. this is ridiculous. how r we supposed to pay bills???

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