EDD Unemployment: Partial Payment Issue & Waiting Period Confusion - Help Needed
I'm having trouble with my unemployment payments. I certified for a period but only got paid for part of it. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I'm confused about the waiting period. If it starts on a certain date, when does the first payment actually begin? Any help would be appreciated!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
I get it, but when you're desperate for answers, it's a lifesaver. Better than wasting days trying to get through.
As long as it works, I guess it's worth the money if you're struggling to get paid.
SDI Pregnancy Claim Extension Not Updated - No Payment, Can't Reach EDD
I'm having issues with my pregnancy disability claim. The extension hasn't been updated in the system and I'm not getting paid. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm not sure what to do next. I've tried calling but can't get through to anyone. Any advice on how to handle this or what steps I should take? I'm getting really worried about my finances.

have u tried going to the edd office in person? sometimes face-to-face works better than phone or online
just show up early! bring all ur paperwork. be prepared to wait but at least youll talk to a real person
Visiting in person can be hit or miss, but being there physically can sometimes make a big difference. Make sure your paperwork is organized for quicker processing.
EDD SDI payments stopped for a month after doctor extended leave - what to do?
So I've been on disability leave for a while now, and my doctor just extended it. The problem is, I haven't gotten any payments in over a month. I got a text telling me to check for updates, but when I logged in, there was nothing new. I'm starting to get worried because bills are piling up. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do when I call them? I'm not sure what to expect or how to handle this situation.

This is why we need universal basic income. The current system is a joke and leaves people hanging when they need help the most. Vote for change, people!
Ugh, can we not make everything political? OP just needs help with their claim.
It IS political tho. The system is broken because of policy decisions. We can't fix it without addressing that.
EDD SDI payment shown as paid but not received in bank account - what to do?
Has anyone else not received their full payment yet? I checked the website and it shows I should have gotten paid, but the money hasn't hit my account. This is so frustrating! I've been waiting for days and I really need this money to pay my bills. Is there something wrong with the system or am I missing something? Any advice on what to do next would be really appreciated.

Ugh, this system is such a joke. I've been dealing with payment issues for MONTHS. It's like they want us to give up and stop claiming what we're owed. Stay strong, OP. Don't let them wear you down!
It's understandable to feel frustrated, but remember there are avenues to help you advocate for your rightful payments. Keeping pressure on the system is key.
Y'all ever wonder if there's just one guy named Steve working in the EDD office, trying to process all these claims by himself? 😂 #FreeSteve
Steve, if youre reading this, blink twice if you need help! 👀👀
In all seriousness, the staffing at EDD is a huge issue and it's something that really needs to be addressed for things to improve.
