EDD slowly getting back to you? You are not alone....

A few of my clients were complaining to me about how slow it is for someone to get back to them. They've even sent a few emails with no response. Apparently, they are not alone. This article explains: "On Nov. 6, an Assembly committee held a hearing into the EDD problems. Several lawmakers said they'd heard numerous complaints from constituents, and some estimated nearly 150,000 claims had been delayed for weeks because of the computer system change." The new "system" has caused a great cloud of confusion and delays. It is frustrating! People are complaining to be waiting for months or even a year. Something that is set up as an "emergency fund" for people who were recently laid off should really act like an emergency fund.
