EDD payments stopped since Feb 24 - What to do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't gotten any payments from unemployment since February 24th. It's been over a month now and I'm starting to get really worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I should do or ask when I finally get through to someone on the phone?

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.
Oh, I didn't even think of that! I'll definitely check. Thanks for the tip!

Hey everyone, I submitted my claim on March 14th and I'm still waiting to hear back. Does anyone know how long it typically takes for EDD to process claims these days? I'm getting a bit anxious and could really use some insight on what to expect. Thanks in advance for any help!

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.
How long for database update? Stuck waiting for info to be updated
Hey everyone, I'm waiting for an update in their database. Anyone else in the same boat? How long did it take for your info to get updated?

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.

AuthorI'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.
