Hey OP, sorry youre dealing with this. Here's what I'd recommend: ā¢ Keep trying to reach HR, but also loop in your direct supervisor ā¢ Check your spam folder for any emails from payroll ā¢ Review your contract or employee handbook for payment terms ā¢ If it's been more than a few days past your normal pay date, consider sending a formal written request for your wages ā¢ Document all communication attempts ā¢ If the delay is causing financial hardship, be sure to communicate that clearly ā¢ As a last resort, you may need to consult with an employment lawyer or contact your state's labor board Hope this helps! Keep us updated on how it goes.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! I'll definitely follow these steps. Really appreciate the support from everyone here š

idk man, maybe its time to start looking for a new job? A company that cant get payroll right is a š©š©š©
Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to update our basic info? The EDD system is so outdated smh
Preach! š The whole system needs an overhaul.

For real. It's 2023, why can't we just do this stuff online easily?

Quick question - are you changing your name due to marriage or divorce? If it's marriage, congrats! š If it's divorce, hang in there, it gets better! ā¤ļø
Thanks for asking! It's actually neither - I'm trans and finally got my name legally changed. š³ļøāā§ļø Excited to have all my documents match who I really am!

Oh wow, congratulations! That's awesome. Wishing you all the best on your journey! š

I swear, dealing with EDD is like trying to nail jello to a wall. Been at it for months and still no resolution. Anyone else feel like theyre just throwing darts in the dark?
Preach! š It's a total clown show. I've had better luck talking to my cat about quantum physics than getting straight answers from EDD.

LOL same boat here. Sometimes I think they're playing a sick game of 'how long can we make them wait'

Pro tip: if you're having trouble, try reaching out to your local assemblyperson or state senator. Their office can sometimes cut through the red tape and get answers from EDD faster than we can on our own.
Here's what I've learned after dealing with SDI for the past 6 months: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, emailing, and trying different methods. 2. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 3. Use social media. Sometimes tweeting at them can get a response. 4. Check your claim status online regularly. 5. Make sure all your paperwork is in order and up to date. 6. Consider reaching out to your local representatives for help. 7. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to SDI issues for more tips and support. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try some of these methods. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience š

have u tried faxing them? i know it sounds old school but i heard it can work sometimes lol
What year is it, 1995? š¤£ But for real, if it works, it works!
6M
lol welcome to the SDI hellscape. grab a seat, we'll be here a while š
Fr tho š I've been here so long I'm thinking of running for office just to fix this mess
6M
Has anyone had any luck contacting their state representative about this issue? I'm thinking of reaching out to mine.
Thats a great idea! I never thought of that. Do you just email there office or what?
5M
I called their office and explained my situation. They have staff dedicated to helping with constituent services. Just google your state rep and you should find contact info.
5M
guys i finaly got through yesterday after trying for 2 weeks straight. dont give up!
Congrats! Any tips for the rest of us still stuck in EDD purgatory?
5M
just keep calling tbh. i think i just got lucky
5M
OP, how long has your claim been active? I've heard they sometimes do weird partial payments when you're nearing the end of your benefit year.
I'm only about 4 months into my claim, so I don't think that's it. But good to know for the future!
6M
lmao welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where the rules are made up and the payments don't matter š¤”
š¤£š¤£š¤£ I shouldn't laugh but this is too real
5M
Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open. I've had better luck that way.
Ive been dealing with this for MONTHS. at this point im ready to give up and live in the woods or smthn
Mood. Let's start a commune lol
5M
I'm down if you are š Can't be worse than dealing with EDD
5M
This might sound weird, but check if your bank is holding the deposit. My friend had this issue where the payment was sent but her bank flagged it for some reason. Worth a shot! š¤·āāļø
Huh, I never thought about that. I'll give my bank a call, thanks!
6M
OP, whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! The system is designed to wear you down. Keep calling, keep checking your account, and don't let them off the hook. You're entitled to your benefits!
šÆ This right here. Stay persistent!

Whatever you do, DON'T try to update it online without talking to someone first. I did that and it locked me out of my account for weeks. Had to send a million emails to get it fixed.
