EDD Claim Status Update Issues - Anyone Else Struggling?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to update my claim status for weeks now. The EDD website is such a nightmare to navigate. Have you tried calling them directly? That might be your best bet at this point.

I actually found a way to 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 checked if there are any system maintenance or updates going on? Sometimes EDD does these without much notice and it can mess things up for a few days.

I've been in the same boat, trying to update my claim status for what feels like forever. Here's what I've learned after weeks of dealing with this: • The online system is often glitchy, especially during high-traffic times. Try accessing it early in the morning or late at night. • If you're getting error messages, clear your browser cache and cookies, or try a different browser altogether. • Double-check all your information before submitting. Even a small typo can cause issues. • If you're still having trouble, try reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push things through. • As a last resort, you might have to bite the bullet and try calling. Use the trick of calling right when they open or just before they close to minimize wait times. Hope this helps! Hang in there, we're all in this together. 💪

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to update our claim status? The system is broken af 🤮

Hey OP, quick question - are you trying to update an existing claim or file a new one? The process can be different depending on which one you're doing.

Yall ever notice how the EDD website always seems to crash right when you need it most? It's like they're playing some sick game with us 😂

I saw on Twitter that EDD is supposedly rolling out some new updates to their system soon. Maybe wait a few days and see if things improve? 🤷‍♂️

Pro tip: If you're gonna call EDD, make sure you have snacks and a good podcast queued up. You're gonna be there for a while 😅

Same here! I've been dealing with this for about two weeks now. What helped me was using a different device - turns out my laptop had some browser compatibility issues with their site. Also, try logging out completely and clearing your cache before logging back in. Sometimes the session gets stuck and causes weird errors. If you're still having trouble, document everything (screenshots, error messages, dates/times) - it'll help if you need to escalate later. This whole system is such a pain but we'll get through it! 💪
