Unpopular opinion: maybe try going in person if you can? I know it's a pain, but I finally got my issue resolved that way.
Wait, you can do that? I thought everything was online/phone only now

Some offices are open for limited hours. Check your local office's website for details

OP, whats the specific reason for your payment being pending? Might be able to give more targeted advice if we know the details
Hey OP, just a heads up - sometimes the online system glitches and doesn't show recent updates. Might be worth checking again in a day or two if you don't see any changes.
unpopular opinion: maybe try going to the EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face gets better results.
Bruh, have you SEEN the lines at those offices? You'd be there all day π

Fair point lol. But desperate times call for desperate measures, ya know? π€·ββοΈ

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turned out there was a mixup with another patient who had a similar name. Double check that all the info on the records matches yours exactly!
have u tried turning it off and on again? π€£ jk jk... but srsly, sometimes logging out and back in can refresh the system. worth a shot before u go thru the hassle of refiling
I swear, dealing with unemployment is like playing a game where the rules keep changing and no one tells you. Hang in there, OP!
For real tho. It's like they WANT us to mess up so they don't have to pay us π

Conspiracy theory: the system is designed to be confusing on purpose π

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system. Took forever to get it sorted, but I eventually got my missing days paid. Hang in there!
The whole system is broken af. They need to hire more people or upgrade their tech or something. Its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're owed.
Preach! π It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible.

For real. I've been dealing with this nonsense for months. Ready to give up tbh

Make sure you document EVERYTHING. Write down who you talk to, when, and what they say. It'll help if you need to escalate the issue later.
This! π― I learned the hard way that keeping records is crucial when dealing with EDD

have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember? sometimes they can help push things through faster
lol welcome to the club. We're all in the same boat, paddling through a sea of bureaucratic bs π£ββοΈ
Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that gets faster results than uploading online.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? π

I know, right? But apparently some govt offices still prefer it. Worth a shot I guess π€·ββοΈ

This happened to me last month. turns out there was a glitch in there system and a bunch of us had our payments delayed. might be worth checking if others are having the same issue rn
Oh snap, how did you find out about the glitch? Did they eventually fix it for everyone?
4M
Yeah, they did. I found out cuz I kept bugging them on social media and finally got a response. Took about 2 weeks to get resolved tho π
4M
Oof, been there done that. The whole system needs an overhaul tbh. Hang in there OP, hope you get it sorted soon!
idk if this helps but I was in a similar situation last year. turns out there was a problem with my direct deposit info. might be worth double-checking that everything is correct on your end
This is why we need ubi smh the current system is a joke
UBI would create more problems than it solves. We just need to fix the current system.

agree to disagree i guess π€·ββοΈ but something's gotta change

Has anyone else noticed that the FMLA system seems to be extra slow lately? I wonder if they're short-staffed or something

pro tip: if you can, get your HR department involved. Sometimes they can help push things along or at least give you more info about whats going on
