EDD Claim Payment Delays - Anyone Else Waiting?

I found a way to solve delayed unemployment claim payments, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DApcjXRP9g0

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting for weeks now and still nothing. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? I've been trying but can never get through.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep all your documents organized and ready. 3. If you get conflicting info from different reps, ask to speak to a supervisor. 4. Check your online account regularly for updates. 5. Consider reaching out to your local representative for help. Hope this helps someone! Stay strong, we're all in this together. 💪

has anyone else noticed that the payment amounts are sometimes incorrect? I got paid last week but it was less than I expected.

I'm so done with this. Been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. Anyone know if we can file a complaint somewhere? This is getting ridiculous.

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. I tweeted at them and got a response within a day. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♀️

Guys, I think I figured out the secret code to get through the phone system faster. When it asks for your SSN, enter 123456789. It seems to bump you up in the queue. Anyone else try this?
