Ugh, I feel your pain. My claim was stuck for over a month. Have you tried calling the EDD? It's a nightmare, but sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

Check your online account for any pending tasks or required documents. Sometimes they need additional info but don't notify you properly.

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 reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push claims through faster.

Guys, I've been dealing with EDD for months now and I've learned a few things: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep all your documents organized and ready to go. 3. Check your online account daily for updates. 4. If you get through to someone, be polite but firm. 5. Consider reaching out to your local representatives for help. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums for more support and tips. It's a broken system, but don't give up. You'll get your money eventually!

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always 'under maintenance' when you need it most? 🙄

I heard they're updating the system soon. Maybe that'll fix some of these issues?

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading them online? I've heard that sometimes works better.

Just wanted to say hang in there, OP. We're all in the same boat. This too shall pass. 💪
