OP, have you checked if your benefit year ended? Sometimes that can cause a gap in payments while they review your claim. Might be worth looking into.
lmao welcome to the club 🤡 EDD's motto should be 'We'll get to it when we get to it' smh
More like 'We'll get to it if we feel like it' 😂
Whatever you do, don't let this slide. I made that mistake and it messed up my taxes and benefits for a whole year. Fix it ASAP!
Pro tip: if you call right when they open, you have a better chance of getting through. Set your alarm for 7:55 AM and start dialing at 8:00 AM sharp. It's not garuanteed, but it's worked for me a couple times.
Here's what I've learned about getting updates in their database: 1. Be patient. It can take anywhere from 5 to 20 business days for updates to reflect in the system. 2. Keep checking your online account daily. Sometimes updates appear there before you're notified. 3. If it's been more than 3 weeks, definitely try to contact them. 4. Use the online messaging system if available. It's slower but you might get a response. 5. If calling, try early morning or late afternoon. Avoid Mondays and lunch hours. 6. Keep all your documents and information handy. If you do get through, you want to be prepared. 7. If all else fails, consider contacting your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Hope this helps! Hang in there, everyone. 💪
Wow, thanks for the detailed info! This is super helpful.
Great advice! I'd add: document everything. Keep a log of all your calls and attempts to contact them.

Have you considered hiring a tax professional? Sometimes it's worth paying for expertise, especially if you're dealing with a complicated situation.

•I've thought about it, but I'm worried about the cost. Do you have any idea what the typical rates are?

•It can vary a lot depending on your situation, but for a basic tax issue, you might be looking at $100-$200 per hour. Some offer flat rates for specific services too.
