The whole system is broken. I've been trying to get my claim sorted for months. It's like they don't even care about us. 😤
Preach! 🙌 The government needs to get its act together.
Here's what I've learned after dealing with disability for way too long: • Keep a log of all your calls (date, time, who you spoke to if you get through) • Use the online portal as much as possible for updates • If you do get through, ask for a direct number or extension • Be persistent but polite - the person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too • Have all your docs ready before you call (claim number, ID, etc.) • If all else fails, contact your state representative Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping a log. Do you know if there's a best time of day to call?
In my experience, early morning (right when they open) or mid-afternoon on Wednesdays or Thursdays seem to have shorter wait times. But it can still be hit or miss.

Quick question - did you recently move? Sometimes address changes can cause delays. Make sure your address is up to date in the system!
I had this issue last year. Turns out my card was stolen from my mailbox. You might want to check if it was actually sent and possibly intercepted. If so, you'll need to report it to BoA and EDD asap.
Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that possibility. Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely look into this!

I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than the job search itself. Stay strong, OP!
