Quick question - did you receive any notices or letters from EDD about your payment authorization? Sometimes they send important info by mail that doesn't show up online.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my identity verification didn't go through properly. Had to upload my docs again and then it got fixed.

Have you checked their website for any self-service options? Sometimes you can resolve account issues online without having to call.

Pro tip: if you do get through, ask for a direct callback number or extension for the person helping you. That way if you get disconnected or need follow-up, you're not starting from scratch.

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? 🤔 this whole unemployment system is a joke

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough, but you're not alone in this. We're all in the same boat, trying to stay afloat. Keep pushing and don't let the system get you down. You got this! 💪

Pro tip: If you're getting a lot of important emails in Spanish, you might want to set up a filter in your email client. You can have all Spanish emails automatically tagged or moved to a specific folder. That way, you won't miss anything important!

Have you tried calling the sender directly? Sometimes its easiest to just pick up the phone and ask whats going on. Don't let the language barrier scare you - most places have bilingual staff these days.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other EDD numbers. Sometimes you can get transferred to the right department that way.

Anyone else notice that the website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you need it most? 🙄
