Filed EDD claim recently - any tips to check status or speed up process?

I found a way to solve unemployment claim status delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3ivyupBm24

Ugh, welcome to the club. I filed mine like 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything. The waiting game is brutal 😫

Here's what I've learned from my experience: • Be patient. It can take weeks to hear back. • Double-check all your info is correct on the application. • Keep an eye on your mail and email for any requests for additional info. • If you don't hear anything after a month, try to contact them. • Document everything – dates you filed, any correspondence, etc. • Check your online account regularly for updates. Hang in there! The process is slow, but it'll come through eventually.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

pro tip: try calling right when they open in the morning. I got through after only a 30 minute wait last week!

does anyone know if theres a way to check ur claim status online? i hate waiting on hold forever

I'm in the same boat, filed about a week ago. This waiting is killing me. How are we supposed to pay bills when everything moves so slow? 😩

Has anyone had luck with contacting their local representative? I've heard sometimes they can help speed things up.
