EDD Back Payment & Medical Certification Status - Stuck in Limbo, Need Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting on my back payment for months now. It's like they just forget about us once we submit the paperwork. Have you tried calling them?

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

Here's what I've learned about back payments and medical certifications after dealing with this for way too long: • First, make sure all your paperwork is in order. Double-check that you've submitted everything they've asked for. • Keep a detailed log of all your attempts to contact them. Dates, times, names of anyone you speak to. • If you can't get through on the phone, try emailing. Sometimes that works better. • Consider reaching out to your local state representative. They often have contacts in the unemployment office and can help push things along. • Be persistent but polite. It's frustrating, but remember the person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too. • If you have a medical certification, make sure your doctor has submitted all the necessary forms. Sometimes that's where the holdup is. Hope this helps! Hang in there, it's a slow process but it'll get sorted eventually.

have u tried faxing ur docs? I no it sounds old school but sometimes it works faster than email or mail

I'm in the same boat, been waiting on my back payment for 3 months now. This whole system is a joke. They expect us to live on air while they take their sweet time? 🤬

Has anyone tried going to the unemployment office in person? I'm thinking of camping out there until someone helps me lol

pro tip: call right when they open. I finally got through after trying this for a week straight

anyone else feel like were playing a game of chance with our livelihoods? its like unemployment roulette 🎰

Guys, I hate to be that person, but have you checked your spam folder? My approval email went straight there and I didn't notice for weeks 🤦‍♂️
