Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for almost 5 weeks now. It's like they don't even care that people have real lives and responsibilities. Have you tried calling them? I've been trying to get through for days but no luck.

Here's what you need to do when you finally get through to an agent: 1. Ask for a detailed status update on your claim 2. Have all your documentation ready (claim number, dates, etc.) 3. Request info on next steps and timeline 4. If they can't help, politely ask to speak with a supervisor 5. Document everything - get names and ID numbers of who you talk to Stay calm but firm. Remember, the person on the phone didn't cause the delay, but they can hopefully help fix it. Good luck!

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under EDD's a** and get things moving.

26 days? That's nothing. I've been waiting for 3 months. The system is completely broken. 😤

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

I heard they're super backlogged because of all the covid claims still. Might be why it's taking so long for everyone.

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by sloths. That's why everything takes foreverrrrr 🦥
