lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy. where everything's made up and the points don't matter 🤡

Have you checked if there's been any recent policy changes? Sometimes they update requirements without really announcing it clearly.

The whole system is a joke. I've been dealing with login issues for months now. They really need to upgrade their IT infrastructure or something. 🤦‍♂️

Here's what worked for me: 1. Try logging in during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) 2. Use a different browser or device 3. Make sure your drivers license info is up to date in their system 4. If all else fails, contact their tech support directly Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it sorted.

This whole system is so broken. Why should we have to jump through hoops just to get our own money back? It's ridiculous. 😤

Here's a detailed breakdown of how pending charges typically work and what you can do: 1. Timeframe: Most pending charges drop off within 3-5 business days, but can take up to 10 in some cases. 2. Bank policies: Different banks have different policies. Some might be able to expedite the process if you explain your situation. 3. Merchant responsibility: Sometimes the merchant needs to release the hold. If it's been more than 5 days, try contacting them. 4. Available balance: Ask your bank if they can temporarily increase your available balance while waiting for the pending charge to clear. 5. Documentation: Keep all receipts and correspondence related to the refund. This can be helpful if you need to dispute anything. 6. Credit vs. Debit: Credit card pending charges often clear faster than debit cards. 7. Regular checking: Keep an eye on your account daily. Sometimes these charges drop off without notification. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

lmao good luck. I struck out so many times I just gave up and got a job at walmart 🤡

Has anyone tried using the online portal? I've heard mixed things about it working.

Here's a comprehensive guide for new EDD card holders: • Activate your card immediately upon receipt • Set up a secure PIN • Register for online account access • Verify your identity if required (sometimes they need additional docs) • Set up direct deposit if you prefer that over the card • Keep your card in a safe place and don't share your PIN • Monitor your balance regularly • Be aware of any fees associated with ATM withdrawals • If you have any issues, don't hesitate to contact EDD or Bank of America (they handle the cards) • Keep all correspondence from EDD in case you need to reference it later Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol welcome to the EDD circus 🎪🤡 hope u packed ur patience

Have you tried reaching out to their customer support? They might be able to guide you through the process.

guys. i just found out that my referral earnings are taxable. make sure you set aside some money for taxes! dont be like me and get caught off guard 😭

The whole system is broken af. We need serious reform. Anyone else think its time we start protesting or something?

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Every call, every letter, every online update. 2. File a formal complaint with EDD. There's a process on their website. 3. Contact your state assembly member and senator. They have staff dedicated to helping with state agency issues. 4. If all else fails, consider reaching out to local media. Sometimes public pressure can work wonders. 5. Look into legal aid services in your area. Some offer free consultations for disability benefit issues. 6. Join advocacy groups for disability rights. They often have resources and can provide guidance. 7. Keep copies of all your medical records and any documentation supporting your claim. 8. Set up email alerts for any updates to your online account. 9. Consider filing a new claim if there's been no movement on your current one. 10. Don't give up! The system is designed to be frustrating, but persistence pays off. Remember, you're not alone in this. Tons of us are dealing with similar issues. Hang in there!

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 18 months here. EDD is where hope goes to die 💀

Pro tip: use the online portal to file your initial claim if you haven't already. It's way faster than trying to do it over the phone.

Has anyone else noticed that their payments are delayed? I filed 3 weeks ago and still haven't seen a dime 😫

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: • Persistence is key. Don't give up after one or two tries. • Keep a log of when you call and who you speak to (if you get through). • Have all your information ready before you call to save time. • If you get a helpful agent, ask for their direct extension if possible. • Consider using the online portal for simple updates if available. • If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes help expedite things. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

lol remember when we thought this would all be over in a few months? now were experts at navigating bureaucratic nightmares 🤡
