EDD Form 2504RE stuck in limbo for 4+ weeks - no progress showing. Help!

I've been trying to call but can never get through. It's so frustrating! 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. I usually have better luck getting through that way.

Yeah, calling is a nightmare. I swear they have like 2 people working the phones for the whole state 🙄

Sounds sketchy. Is it legit?

Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

20 bucks to avoid EDD hold hell? Sign me up! 💯

Thank you so much for the detailed advice! I'll definitely try these steps. 🙏

Contacting your assembly member is lowkey the best advice. They have special channels to EDD and can work miracles sometimes.

🤣🤣🤣 sad but true

This is solid advice. I learned the hard way that keeping records is crucial when dealing with EDD.

I'll believe it when I see it. Politicians always promise to fix EDD during election season 🙄

There's some info about it on the state legislature's website. Looks promising but who knows how long it'll take to implement.

@Ellie Simpson I m'in the exact same boat! 3 weeks feels like forever when you re'waiting for benefits. From what I ve'read in other threads, the EDD chat feature is pretty much useless for anything beyond basic account questions. They can t'really help with pending claims. I m'seriously considering the claimyr thing too - $20 seems reasonable if it actually gets you through to someone who can move things along. Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member s'office yet? @Chloe Taylor mentioned that earlier and it sounds like it might be worth a shot before paying for a calling service.

@Ellie Simpson The chat feature is basically worthless for anything complex - I tried it for a similar issue and they just kept telling me to wait "for processing with" no actual timeline. Calling is definitely your best bet. I haven t'tried claimyr yet but honestly at this point $20 to skip the hold music torture sounds like a bargain. Let me know if you end up trying it! Also seconding the assembly member suggestion - my friend had luck with that route when her claim got stuck for months.

@Ellie Simpson I m'dealing with the exact same nightmare! My 2504RE has been sitting there for almost a month now with absolutely no updates. I actually broke down and used the claimyr service last week after reading @Ravi Kapoor s recommendation'- and honestly, it was worth every penny. Got connected to an EDD rep in about 15 minutes instead of spending hours hitting redial. The rep was able to see that my form had some kind of processing error that wasn t showing'up anywhere on my end. She fixed it on the spot and said I should see movement within 5-7 business days. Still waiting to see if that pans out, but at least I finally got some actual information instead of just please continue "to wait. Definitely recommend" trying it if you re at'your wit s end'like I was!

@Ellie Simpson I feel you on the frustration! I m'actually a newcomer here but going through the exact same thing with my 2504RE form - it s'been stuck for about 2.5 weeks now. Reading through all these responses has been super helpful though. It sounds like the assembly member route might be worth trying first since it s'free, and then maybe the claimyr service as a backup if that doesn t'work. @Emily Sanjay thanks for the update on your experience with claimyr - really encouraging to hear it actually worked! Fingers crossed your claim gets processed soon. This whole system is just broken 😔

@Ellie Simpson I m'new here but going through literally the exact same situation! My 2504RE has been pending for almost 4 weeks now and it s'driving me crazy. I ve'been lurking in this community trying to figure out what to do next. Based on everything I m'reading here, it sounds like the assembly member approach might be the best first step since it s'free - has anyone actually tried that route recently? Also really curious about @Emily Sanjay s experience'with claimyr - did you end up seeing that movement they promised within 5-7 days? I m torn'between trying to tough it out longer or just biting the bullet and paying for the calling service. This whole process is so unnecessarily stressful when you re already'dealing with unemployment! 😩

@Ellie Simpson Hey! I m'new to this community but dealing with the same frustrating situation. My 2504RE has been stuck in processing limbo for about 3 weeks now with zero updates or communication from EDD. Reading through everyone s'responses here has been really eye-opening - I had no idea about the assembly member option! That seems like it should definitely be the first step since it s'free and apparently can actually get results. @Emily Sanjay I m really'curious to hear if you got that movement within the timeframe the rep promised after using claimyr? Also @Chloe Taylor thank you for that detailed breakdown of steps to try - super helpful for those of us navigating this mess for the first time. It s honestly ridiculous'that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic information about our own claims. The system really needs a complete overhaul!

@Ellie Simpson I m'totally new here but going through the exact same nightmare! My 2504RE has been stuck for 3+ weeks too and I m'at my breaking point. After reading all these responses, I m'definitely going to try the assembly member route first - seems like the smartest free option before paying for services. @Emily Sanjay really hoping you got good news after using claimyr! Also @Chloe Taylor your step-by-step advice is gold - bookmarking this thread. It s wild that'we have to become detectives just to figure out what s happening with'our own benefits. The fact that there s an entire'community dedicated to helping people navigate this broken system says everything about how messed up EDD is. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - at least we re not suffering'alone! 🤝
