Can't cash EDD disability check - bank issue or EDD problem?

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar problem last month. Have you tried calling EDD directly? They might be able to tell you if there's an issue with the check itself.

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

Have you checked if the check is expired? Sometimes they send them out with a really short expiration date and if you dont cash it in time, you have to request a new one.

This happened to me once. Turns out my bank put a hold on the check because it was a large amount. Maybe give your bank a call and see if that's whats going on?

The whole EDD system is a joke tbh. I've been dealing with issues for months now. Good luck getting any real help from them 🙄

Here's what you need to do: 1. First, double-check the check for any errors (name, amount, date, etc.). 2. If everything looks correct, contact your bank and ask if there's a hold or any issue on their end. 3. If the bank says it's fine, you'll need to contact EDD. Use the Claimyr service mentioned above if you can't get through normally. 4. When you talk to EDD, ask them to verify the check's status in their system. 5. If the check is valid but you still can't cash it, request a replacement check. 6. In the meantime, ask about direct deposit options for future payments to avoid this issue. Remember to document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what they said. This can be helpful if you need to escalate the issue later. Good luck!
