Heads up, they might try to lowball you on the c-section recovery time. My wife's doctor recommended 8 weeks, but they initially only approved 6. We had to appeal to get the full time. Don't be afraid to push back if needed!
I'm an EDD employee (not official capacity here). The system is super backed up right now due to budget cuts and increased claims. We're doing our best, but it's tough. My advice: make sure all your docs are in order and keep trying to reach out. Sorry you're dealing with this. 😕
Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.
Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!

I'm in the same boat, been waiting since December. Starting to wonder if I should just give up and go back to work without the benefits. This is so stressful.

•Don't give up! That's what they want. Keep fighting for what you're entitled to. We're all rooting for you! 💪

Has anyone tried showing up in person at an EDD office? I'm considering camping out overnight if that's what it takes to get this resolved.

•I tried that last month. They just gave me a paper form and told me to mail it in. Total waste of time. 🙄
