EDD form submission issues - How to ensure they have everything?

Ugh, dealing with EDD is such a pain. I've been there, buddy. Make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. I learned that the hard way 🙄

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

Here's what I did to make sure EDD had all my forms: 1. Log into your EDD account and check the 'Claim History' section. It should show what forms they've received. 2. If you mailed anything, send it certified mail next time so you have proof of delivery. 3. Call the EDD office (I know, easier said than done) and ask them to confirm what they have on file. 4. If you submitted online, take screenshots of the confirmation pages. 5. Keep a spreadsheet or document with dates of when you submitted each form. Hope this helps! It's a pain, but staying organized is key when dealing with bureaucracy.

have u tried faxing ur forms? sometimes that works better than mail or online submission. old school but effective lol

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for weeks to hear back about my forms. This whole system is broken af 😤

Pro tip: if you can, go to an EDD office in person. I know it's a hassle, but I finally got everything sorted when I did that. Bring ALL your paperwork with you!

One thing that helped me was setting up email notifications in my EDD account if that's available. Also, I started keeping a simple log with dates and confirmation numbers for everything I submit. When I had to resubmit something, I referenced my log and could tell them exactly when I first sent it. Made the conversation way more productive! The key is being super organized from day one - I learned this lesson the hard way after my first claim got delayed for months 😅
