EDD paperwork submitted but no payments - unemployment or disability?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried checking your online account to see if there's any updates?

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

Pro tip: always keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit to EDD. They're notorious for 'losing' paperwork. I learned that the hard way 🙄

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape and get answers faster.

This whole system is broken af. I've been waiting 3 months for my disability claim to be processed. It's criminal how they treat ppl who are already struggling 😤

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: • Always call first thing in the morning when they open • If you get a unhelpful rep, hang up and try again • Keep a log of every interaction (date, time, who you spoke to) • Be persistent! Don't let them brush you off • If all else fails, contact your state representative Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but you'll get through it!

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.
