Have you checked if there are any updates or known issues on the EDD website? Sometimes they post alerts about system problems or delays.
This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing your documents? I know it's 2023, but sometimes these government agencies are stuck in the stone age. It worked for me when nothing else did.
Faxing? Seriously? I don't even know where to find a fax machine these days lol. But at this point, I'm willing to try anything. Thanks for the suggestion!
You can use online fax services if you don't have access to a physical fax machine. Just Google 'online fax service' and you'll find plenty of options.

have you checked your mail carefully? sometimes they send important notices that look like junk mail 👀
Good point, I'll double check my mail pile. Wouldn't put it past them to make important stuff look like spam 🙄
This happened to me last year. Turns out my claim had expired and I needed to file a new one. Might be worth checking if that's your issue too.
Oh man, I didn't even think of that. How do I check if my claim expired?
Log into your EDD account online. It should show your claim status and end date. If it's expired, you'll need to file a new claim.

LPT: If you're eligible, try using the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help you navigate IRS issues without the crazy wait times.
What's the criteria for using the Taxpayer Advocate Service? Never heard of it before.
They typically help if you're experiencing financial hardship, if the IRS hasn't responded to you within 30 days, or if you believe an IRS system/procedure isn't working as it should. Check out their website for more details!
Honestly, at this point I'm considering hiring a tax professional just to deal with the IRS for me. Anyone had experience with that? Is it worth the cost?
I did it last year and it was a game changer. Expensive, but they handled everything and I didn't have to stress about it.
Depends on how complicated your tax situation is. For basic stuff, probably not worth it. But if you've got a complex return or ongoing issues, it can be a lifesaver.
