No EDD claim updates since 9/29 - over a month of silence. What to do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting since early October with no word. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. Have you tried emailing them? I heard sometimes that works better than calling.

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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update there without sending a notification. Also, make sure you've completed all the certifications they've asked for.

I've been dealing with EDD for over a year now, and let me tell you, patience is key. Here's what I've learned: • Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. Try different times of day. • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online update. • Reach out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite things. • Check your spam folder regularly. Important emails sometimes end up there. • Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence pays off. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you'll get through this.

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? the system is rigged man

Hey OP, have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes it gets faster results than mailing or uploading online.

I heard they're implementing a new system soon that's supposed to speed things up. Anyone know when that's happening?

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update there without sending a notification. Also, make sure to check your spam folder for emails.

I've been dealing with this for 3 months now. It's absolutely infuriating. I've tried everything - calling, emailing, even sent a physical letter. Nothing works. I'm about ready to show up at their office and refuse to leave until someone helps me.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. 2. Try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes you have better luck. 3. Use the online portal to send messages. It's slow, but they do respond eventually. 4. If you have a complex case, request a callback. It might take a while, but it's better than being on hold forever. 5. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every email, every letter. You might need it later. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Hang in there, OP. I know it's frustrating, but don't give up!

have u tried faxing them? I no it sounds old school but I heard it can work

I feel your pain, OP. The waiting game is the worst. Have you considered reaching out to your local assemblymember or state senator? They sometimes have staff dedicated to helping constituents with EDD issues.
