Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last year. Have you received any notices or letters from EDD about your claim? Sometimes they need additional info and don't make it super clear.

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

Have you tried faxing your documents? Sometimes that's faster than waiting for them to process mailed stuff.

OP, make sure you've completed all the certifications on time. Missing even one can delay your payments. Also, double-check that your employer submitted all the necessary info on their end. Sometimes that's the holdup.

Ive been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. EDD is a joke. 🤡 Good luck getting any help from them!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your EDD account online for any pending tasks or messages. 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 3. Verify with your employer that they've submitted all required documentation. 4. If you haven't received any communication from EDD after 2-3 weeks, try to contact them. 5. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD (dates, times, names of reps you speak with). 6. If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a secure message through your online account. 7. As a last resort, contact your local state assembly member or senator's office for assistance. Remember, persistence is key. The system is overwhelmed, but keep at it and you'll get your benefits eventually. Don't give up!

anyone else feel like were living in a dystopian nightmare? why is it so hard to get basic support when we need it?

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You're more likely to get through before the lines get jammed up.
