EDD Claim Update Submitted - How Long for Response?
Hey everyone, I just submitted my claim update to EDD. Has anyone else done this recently? How long did it take to hear back? I'm wondering if I should be expecting any kind of acknowledgment or if I just need to wait it out. Any tips on what to do next?

I submitted mine about 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back. It's so frustrating! š¤ I've tried calling but can never get through. Anyone know if there's a better way to check on the status?

Have you tried checking your UI Online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending any notifications.

Yeah, I've been checking UI Online like a hawk. Still nothing. š© Guess we're all just stuck waiting...

Pro tip: 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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20 just to make a phone call? That's ridiculous. EDD should do better.

I know it sounds crazy, but I was desperate. It actually worked for me and saved me hours of frustration. Worth it IMO.

How long did you have to wait after using the service?

It took about 45 minutes, but I didn't have to do anything. The service called me when an agent was on the line.

Okay, listen up folks. I've been through this rodeo before, so here's what you need to know about EDD claim updates: ā¢ Typical response time: 2-4 weeks, but can be longer during busy periods ā¢ No immediate acknowledgment is usually sent ā¢ Check your UI Online account regularly for status changes ā¢ If you haven't heard back after 4 weeks, try to contact them Best practices: 1. Keep all your documentation handy 2. Document any attempts to contact EDD 3. Be patient (I know it's hard) 4. If you're really stuck, consider contacting your local assembly member's office Remember, the system is overloaded, so delays are common. Hang in there!

What's this about contacting assembly members? How does that work?

Assembly members can sometimes help expedite EDD claims. Find yours on the CA gov website and reach out to their office explaining your situation.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of submitting online? I heard it might be faster but idk if that's just an urban legend lol

Just a heads up, I submitted my update last month and got a response in about 3 weeks. They asked for additional info tho, so now I'm back to waiting again. It's like a never-ending cycle š«

What kind of additional info did they ask for? Might be good for the rest of us to know so we can prepare.

They wanted more details about my self-employment income. Make sure you have all your 1099s and any contracts ready!
