Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to understand our own tax situation? 🤦♂️
Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul.
For real. In some countries, the government just sends you a completed tax form and you just verify it. Why can't we have that?

Y'all ever think about how much time we waste dealing with this bs? Like, we could probably solve world hunger with all the collective hours spent on hold with EDD 🤔
lmao true. EDD should hire us all as phone operators. We're basically experts at this point 🤣
Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: 1. Always certify on time, even if your payment is delayed 2. Keep detailed records of all your communications with EDD 3. Check your spam folder regularly for EDD emails 4. If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting your local assembly member's office 5. Be patient but persistent. The system is overwhelmed, but your claim will eventually be processed Hang in there, everyone. We're all in this together. 💪
This is gold. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
The assembly member tip is clutch. They helped me resolve an issue that had been pending for weeks.

Not to freak you out, but my card never came 😭 Had to call and request a new one. Turns out there was a mixup with my address. Def double check all your info is correct!
Oh no, that sounds like a nightmare! I'll definitely double-check everything. How long did it take to get the new card once you requested it?
It took about 10 business days. Not ideal, but at least it finally came!

Ive been dealing with edd for 6 months now. heres my advice: document EVERYTHING. every call, every letter, every interaction. itll help if you need to escalate or appeal later
That's great advice, thanks! I'll start keeping a log of everything
Anyone else think its crazy that we're all struggling like this just to get the benefits we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul tbh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they forgot the second D in EDD stands for DEVELOPMENT. More like Employment Development Disaster amirite?
For real. We pay into this system our whole working lives and then when we need it, it's a complete mess. Something's gotta change

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure you're certifying for benefits every two weeks, even if your claim is pending.

•Thanks for the reminder! I'll double-check my spam folder. And yeah, I've been certifying religiously, just in case.

Anybody else notice that the EDD website is always 'under maintenance' when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.
