EDD Benefits Stopped Since April - No Payments for 5 Months. Help!

Sounds like you might have an issue with your certification or your claim needs to be updated. Have you tried calling EDD? Here's what I'd suggest: • Gather all your employment docs and previous certification info • When you get through to an agent, ask if there's a problem with your certification • See if they need any additional info from you • Follow up on whatever they tell you ASAP Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

bruh you gotta certify every two weeks. sounds like you missed a bunch of certifications. log into ur account and see if you can backdate some claims

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 u checked ur mail? sometimes they send important notices that way and if u miss em, ur benefits can get messed up

This happened to me last year. Turns out my claim had expired and I needed to file a new one. Definitely call and talk to someone - it's a pain but its the only way to get it sorted.

The EDD system is such a joke. They make it impossible to get help and then act surprised when people fall through the cracks. 🤡 Good luck OP, you're gonna need it.

Hey, don't panic! This is fixable. I work for a non-profit that helps people with EDD issues. Here's what you need to do: 1. Try to backdate your certifications online 2. If that doesn't work, you MUST speak to a tier 2 specialist 3. Explain your situation calmly and ask about reinstatement 4. Be prepared to provide proof of eligibility for the missed weeks 5. If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor Stay persistent! You got this! 💪
