EDD Postpartum Disability Claim Pending for a Month - No Money Received. Help!

I found a way to solve postpartum disability claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovgU5Lqzquw

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue with my unemployment claim last year. Have you tried calling their hotline? It's a total nightmare, but sometimes you can get lucky if you call right when they open.

I actually found a method that works 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. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there before sending anything out. Also, double-check that they have your correct mailing address on file.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for my disability payments for over 6 weeks now. The whole system is a joke. I've got bills piling up and no idea when I'll see any money. Hang in there, we're all struggling together. 💪

Here's what you need to do to expedite your claim: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates, times, and outcomes. 2. Reach out to your local state representative or senator's office. They often have liaisons who can intervene on your behalf with EDD. 3. If you haven't already, file an appeal. This can sometimes trigger a review of your claim. 4. Check if there are any local legal aid organizations that specialize in disability claims. They might be able to offer free advice or assistance. 5. Keep an eye on your online account and respond immediately to any requests for additional information. 6. If you're facing financial hardship, look into emergency assistance programs in your area. Some non-profits and local government agencies offer short-term help. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up, and don't be afraid to escalate your case if needed. Good luck!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD. where claims go to die and dreams of financial stability vanish into thin air 🙃

Has anyone had luck with faxing in their documents instead of mailing? I've heard it can speed things up sometimes.

Just a heads up, there was a system update last month that's been causing delays for a lot of people. Might be worth checking their website for any announcements about it.

have u tried praying to the EDD gods? maybe sacrifice a goat or something idk man im out of ideas at this point 🐐🙏
