EDD Claim Stuck: No Authorization or Payment After a Month - What to Do?

I found a way to solve EDD claim delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAOmOF4hOVM

Ugh, I feel ya. I was in the same boat last year. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you filed, any correspondence, and attempts to contact EDD. 2. Check your spam folder. Sometimes important emails end up there. 3. Try contacting your local assembly member's office. They can often help push things along. 4. If you haven't already, file an appeal. Even if you don't know why there's a delay, this can sometimes trigger a review of your case. 5. Keep certifying for benefits every two weeks, even if you haven't been paid yet. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to EDD issues. Sometimes you can get insider tips there. 7. As a last resort, consider contacting local media. Public pressure can work wonders. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off.

have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but it worked for me when nothing else did.

Guys, 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

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's a joke that people have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits they're entitled to.

Have you checked if there's any identity verification issues? That held up my claim for weeks.

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 3 months here 🤡

Anybody else notice that EDD seems to work faster when Mercury isn't in retrograde? 👀

Hey OP, what industry did you work in? Some sectors are facing extra scrutiny right now.
