EDD claim pending for over a month - submitted docs in February, still no progress. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for almost 2 months now. Its ridiculous how slow they are. Have you tried calling them? I heard sometimes that can help push things along.

I found a way to actually 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 about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you checked your online account for any updates or messages? Sometimes they need additional info but don't always notify you directly.

I'm in the same boat, friend. Been waiting since January. The whole system is broken af 😤

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research on dealing with EDD delays: 1. Keep checking your online account daily for updates or requests for additional information. 2. If you can, try calling first thing in the morning when they open. Be prepared to redial multiple times. 3. Use the 'Contact Us' form on the EDD website to submit a written inquiry about your claim status. 4. Consider reaching out to your local state representative or senator's office for assistance. 5. Document everything: dates you submitted documents, any communication attempts, etc. 6. If you receive any mail from EDD, respond immediately, even if it seems redundant. 7. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for unemployment support. Sometimes they have insider tips or can alert you to system updates. 8. If all else fails, filing a complaint with the state labor board can sometimes get things moving. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but your claim will get processed eventually. Hang in there!

have u tried faxing ur docs? I know it sounds old school but I heard it can work faster than online submission sometimes

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by sloths 🦥 That's why everything takes foreverrrrr

I've heard rumors that they're prioritizing new claims over pending ones from a few months ago. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

guys, we should organize a protest or something. this is getting ridiculous. we cant just sit here and take this bs
