EDD Disability claim stuck for 6+ weeks - no status update or funds. What to do?

I found a way to solve long disability claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd6E-xtas_I

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat a few months ago. The system is so broken 🤦‍♂️ Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Send a written request for status update via certified mail. 3. Contact your local state representative. They can often help push things along. 4. If all else fails, file a complaint with the state insurance commissioner. Stay persistent! The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the notifications end up there lol

6 weeks? That's nothing. I've been waiting for 4 months now. The whole system is a joke. 🤡

I heard they're super backlogged because of covid still. Might be why it's taking so long. Hang in there!

Pro tip: if you can get through to someone, ask for a tier 2 specialist. They have more power to actually fix issues and push claims through.

have you tried checking your claim status online? sometimes the website has more info than what they tell you on the phone
