EDD Disability Payment Delayed - No Updates, What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my disability payment. It's been a while and I still haven't received it. I got a notice saying they'd contact me if they needed more info, but I'm getting worried. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on what I should do or say when I call them?

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been there and it sucks. Here's what I'd do: • Get all your paperwork together - claim details, notices, everything • When you call, ask about the status and if there's anything holding it up • See if they can give you a timeline for when to expect payment • Be polite but firm - you need this money! Good luck, hope you get it sorted soon!

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely gather everything before I call. Did you have to wait long when you were in this situation?

It took about 3 weeks for me, but I know others who waited longer. Just keep at it and don't let them forget about you!

This is solid advice. I'd add: take notes during the call, including the name of who you spoke to. It can help if you need to follow up later.

A month? That's nothing. I've been waiting for 3 months now. This is beyond frustrating.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

Yeah, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's highway robbery! The system is so broken 😡

I get it, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not spending hours on hold was totally worth it.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD. Worth a shot!

Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have to try a few days in a row, but I finally got through that way. Hang in there!
