30 Day Backpay Delay from EDD - Need Advice!

I found a way to solve unemployment backpay delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9hwp5vtrm8

Ugh, I feel you. I was in the same boat last month. It's so frustrating when you're counting on that money and it just... doesn't come. Have you tried calling them? I know its a pain, but sometimes thats the only way to get answers.

30 days? That's nothing. I've been waiting for 3 months now. The system is completely broken. 🤡

Here's what worked for me: I found this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to your phone. It costs $20, but it actually works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the unemployment office.

OK, here's the deal with backpay delays (former EDD employee here): 1. System overload: The pandemic caused a huge backlog that they're still working through. 2. Verification issues: Make sure all your docs are in order and uploaded correctly. 3. Claim discrepancies: Any inconsistencies in your claim can cause delays. 4. Funding gaps: Sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for the next round of funding. Best things you can do: - Double-check all your info for accuracy - Keep certifying weekly, even if you're not getting paid - Document everything: dates you called, who you spoke to, etc. - Be persistent but polite when you do get through Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but they do eventually get to everyone.
