EDD claim status - 3 weeks no update. What to do?

Ugh, I feel ya. I was in the same boat a few months ago. It took them like 6 weeks to even look at my paperwork! The system is so backed up its ridiculous. My advice? Keep calling them every few days to check on the status. It's annoying but it worked for me. Good luck!

Three weeks isnt that long tbh. I'd give it at least another 2-3 weeks before really worrying. They're swamped with claims rn

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes they update the website before they send out any notifications. Might be worth a shot!

Listen up, I've been through this rodeo before and I've got some tips for ya: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all your paperwork and note down every interaction you have with them. 2. Be persistent but polite. Call them regularly, but don't lose your cool. The person on the other end is just doing their job. 3. Check your spam folder. Sometimes important emails end up there. 4. If you're really stuck, reach out to your local representative. They can sometimes help speed things up. 5. Join Facebook groups or forums specific to your state's unemployment system. You can get real-time updates and advice there. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process but you'll get through it!

Guys, I found a method that actually works to 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.
