EDD Approved Claim but No Payment Yet - How Long Does it Usually Take?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FtbQjh0qxI

Ugh, I feel ya. The waiting game is the worst! 😫 When I got approved, it took about 3-5 business days for the money to hit my account. But I've heard it can vary. Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's more info there.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've been in the same boat for WEEKS now. Approved but no money. The system is so broken, I swear they do this on purpose to make us give up. 🤬

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your info is correct in the system 2. Make sure your bank account details are up to date 3. Look for any pending action items or certifications you might have missed 4. If it's been more than 5 business days, start calling 5. Be prepared with your claim number and all relevant dates 6. If calling doesn't work, try reaching out via social media or email 7. Consider contacting your local representative if it drags on Stay persistent! The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations.

Has anyone else noticed that the payment dates on the website are often wrong? Mine said it would be deposited last Tuesday, but it didn't show up until Friday. Maybe give it a few more days before panicking.

I found a method 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

lol welcome to the wonderful world of unemployment. where evrything's made up and the timelines dont matter 😂

Have you checked if there's a debit card option? Sometimes they default to that instead of direct deposit. I nearly missed my first payment cause I didn't know they sent me a card!
