Anyone else feel like we need a support group just for dealing with these government agencies? 😅 Seriously though, hang in there OP. The system sucks but you'll get through eventually.
I work in IT and let me tell you, the EDD's systems are a complete mess. They're using outdated technology and don't have the resources to handle the volume of claims. It's no wonder everything's so backed up.
Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!
idk if this helps but I saw on twitter that EDD is having major backlogs due to fraud prevention measures. Might explain the delay 🤷♂️

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. 😕

•Thanks for the insider perspective. Must be rough on your end too. Any tips for getting through the phone system?

•Honestly, early mornings are usually best. Like right when we open. But it's still a crapshoot.
