EDD Birth Verification Docs Sent - No Update for Weeks. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for MONTHS to hear back about my docs. It's like they just disappear into a black hole or something. Have you tried calling? That's usually the only way to get any real info.

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 I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: 1. Always keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them. 2. Send important docs via certified mail so you have proof of delivery. 3. Follow up every 2 weeks if you haven't heard back. 4. Use their online portal to send messages - sometimes they respond faster there. 5. If calling, try different times of day. Mid-week afternoons can be less busy. 6. Be persistent but polite. The staff are overworked too. 7. If all else fails, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes expedite things. Hope this helps! Hang in there, the system is frustrating but eventually things do get sorted out.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there lol

I'm in the same boat. Sent my docs 6 weeks ago and radio silence since then. This whole system is a joke 🤡

Anyone else notice that EDD seems to work faster when Mercury isn't in retrograde? 🤔 Just sayin

Pro tip: If you cant get through on the main line, try calling one of the foreign language lines and then ask to be transfered to an English-speaking rep. Sometimes those queues are shorter.

Honestly, at this point I'm convinced EDD is run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels. Might explain the delays 🐹💨

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds like we're back in 1995, but sometimes the old school methods work better with government agencies.
