FMLA application not processing with EDD despite submitting all docs - multiple submissions causing issues?

Ugh, dealing with EDD is such a pain! 🤦‍♂️ I had a similar issue where I submitted multiple copies of some forms. It took forever to get sorted out. Have you tried calling them? That's what finally worked for me.

I found a method 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the EDD and explain the situation clearly. Mention that you submitted multiple copies due to internet issues. 2. Ask them to locate all your submissions and consolidate them into one application. 3. Request a confirmation number or email for your records. 4. If they can't help over the phone, ask about submitting a written request for review. 5. Keep detailed notes of all your calls, including date, time, and representative's name. 6. If you still don't get a resolution, consider contacting your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Remember, persistence is key when dealing with bureaucracy. Don't give up!

have you tried faxing your documents? sometimes that works better than submitting online. less chance of duplication errors

OMG the EDD is such a joke 🤡 I swear they make everything 10x more complicated than it needs to be. Good luck OP, you're gonna need it!

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before they actually contact you. Might give you some insight into whats going on with your application.

pro tip: if u can, go to ur local edd office in person. sometimes face-to-face works better than tryna deal w/ this stuff online or over the phone
