Benefits not received yet - what to do? EDD help needed!

I found a way to solve delayed unemployment benefits payment, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PMHED46Lvo

Ugh, I feel you. I've been in the same boat before. Have you checked your online account to see if there's any updates or messages? Sometimes they'll post info there before you get an official notice.

I had this happen to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and a bunch of payments were delayed. It took about a week to sort out, but I eventually got my money. Hang in there!

Have you tried calling them? I know its a pain, but sometimes thats the only way to get answers. Be prepared to wait on hold for hours tho lol

Hey, I found a way to actually 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

This might sound obvious, but double check that you filed everything correctly. I once thought my benefits were late, but it turned out I had made a mistake on my claim. Felt like such a 🤡

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account for any messages or updates 2. Review your claim to make sure all info is correct 3. Try calling first thing in the morning when they open 4. If you can't get through, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to connect with an agent 5. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, etc. 6. If it's been more than 2 weeks since you were supposed to receive benefits, file an appeal 7. Reach out to your local representative's office - they can sometimes help push things along Remember, the system is overwhelmed right now, so patience is key. But don't give up! You're entitled to your benefits and should keep pushing until you get them. Good luck!

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're hoping we'll just go away if they make it hard enough 😤

Have you checked your bank account? Sometimes the payment goes through but you don't get a notification. Happened to me once and I was stressing for no reason lol
