idk man, sounds like your in the same boat as the rest of us. EDD is a total dumpster fire rn. 🔥🗑️

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes it updates there before they actually contact you. Just a thought!

Hot take: the whole system needs an overhaul. It's 2024 and we're still dealing with this archaic bs? Come on, California!

Bruh, I feel you. I've been wrestling with EDD for months now. It's like trying to nail jello to a wall. 😫 Hang in there!

It’s understandable to feel anxious during this time, especially with the delays in communication from EDD. First, ensure all your documentation is in order and keep a copy of everything. If you haven’t already, try reaching out to EDD through their online portal or by phone as others have suggested. Using tools like Claimyr can be effective if you’re looking to bypass long hold times, but consider that it comes at a cost. It's essential to weigh the urgency of your situation. Additionally, contacting your local assembly member, as mentioned, can sometimes expedite the process. Meanwhile, stay proactive by regularly checking your claim status online and setting up notifications to alert you of any changes. Lastly, remember to take care of your mental health during this frustrating process. Stay persistent and explore all the suggested avenues, and hopefully, you’ll receive the assistance you need soon.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the endless hold times. 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Friendly reminder to document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online update. You never know when you might need that info later. Trust me on this one.

Ugh, the waiting game with EDD is the worst! I've been there, buddy. Your best bet is to call them directly and ask about the status of your claim. Be prepared to wait on hold for a looong time though. 🙄

Just a heads up, with the new fiscal year starting, there might be some delays in processing claims. I heard they're updating their systems or something. Might explain the hold-up.

Have you considered reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite EDD claims. Worth a shot!

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with EDD stress? 😅 This stuff is no joke!

When you do get through to EDD, make sure to ask these questions: 1. Has my claim been approved? 2. Do I need to submit any additional paperwork? 3. When can I expect to receive payments? 4. How will my return to work affect my payments? 5. Are there any specific steps I need to take when I go back to work? It's important to get all of this information to avoid any delays or misunderstandings. Good luck!

lol welcome to the EDD circus 🎪🤡 where the rules are made up and your sanity doesn't matter!
