EDD Birth Verification Docs Sent - No Update, Can't Get Through on Phone. Help!

Ugh, the EDD is such a nightmare! I've been in the same boat. Sent my docs months ago and still radio silence. Have you tried faxing them? Sometimes that works better than mailing.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? They can sometimes help push things through with EDD. Worth a shot if you're stuck!

Okay, listen up. I've been through this rodeo before, and here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, faxes, and emails. 2. Use the online portal if you haven't already. Sometimes updates appear there before anywhere else. 3. If you fax, use a cover sheet clearly stating what documents you're sending and why. 4. Call first thing in the morning, right when they open. You're more likely to get through. 5. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member or state senator. They have liaisons who can cut through the red tape. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

lol welcome to EDD hell. been waiting 6 months for them to process my claim. good luck 🤡

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long for everyone. Hang in there!
