EDD Binding Time Claim: Submitted Docs, No Payment Yet. Help!

Ugh, I feel you. The system is so broken rn. I've been waiting for MONTHS to get paid after submitting my docs. It's like they just throw our paperwork into a black hole or something. Have you tried calling them? That's what I did, but be prepared to wait on hold forever.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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. Double-check all your submitted documents. Make sure nothing's missing or incorrect. 2. If everything looks good, try contacting them through their online portal. Sometimes they respond faster there. 3. If that doesn't work, call them. Be persistent. Ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help. 4. Keep a log of all your interactions - dates, times, who you spoke to. 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

have you tried faxing your documents? i know it sounds old school but it worked for me when the online submission kept glitching

Oof, binding time claims are the WORST. I swear they purposely make it complicated so people give up. Hang in there, OP! 💪

Not to be that guy, but did you check if you submitted everything correctly? I thought I did everything right and it turned out I missed checking one tiny box on page 3. Took me weeks to figure it out.
