I found a way to solve SDI claim delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEPhUQWVHks

Welcome to the wonderful world of EDD! 🙃 Buckle up, cause you're in for a wild ride. I filed for SDI 2 months ago and still crickets. Its like they enjoy watching us squirm

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you'll need to prove you've been trying to resolve this. Cover your ass!

Ugh, I feel you. I'm in the same boat, waiting on SDI for my pregnancy. Its been 6 weeks and radio silence. This system is so broken 😫

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 the link: https://claimyr.com/?ref=red

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by a bunch of sloths 🦥 Explains the speed of processing claims!

Okay, listen up. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling. I know it sucks, but persistence is key. 2. Have all your info ready when you call - claim number, dates, etc. 3. Be polite but firm with the rep. They're overworked too. 4. If you can, try to call right when they open. Less wait time. 5. Check your online account daily for updates. 6. Make sure you've submitted all required docs. Sometimes they need more info but don't tell you. 7. If you're really desperate, contact your local assembly member. They can sometimes expedite things. Remember, the system is broken, not you. Hang in there!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds like we're back in 1995, but sometimes that gets faster results than online submissions. Worth a shot! 📠

lol welcome to the EDD shitshow 🎪 where the rules are made up and your needs don't matter!

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be persistent and keep dialing until you get through. It sucks, but its the only way to get answers sometimes.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in the system. I've heard horror stories of important docs getting lost in the mail.
