EDD Extension Submitted - What Does 'Supplementary Certificate' Mean for Payment Timeline?

Hey everyone, I just submitted my extension and I'm wondering about the payment timeline. I got a text saying they received a supplementary certificate and that they'd let me know if they need anything else. Does anyone know what this means or how long it usually takes to get paid after this?

Ugh, the waiting game is the worst! I've been there. A supplementary certificate usually means they needed extra info to process your claim. It could affect when you get paid, but it's hard to say for sure. When you talk to them, make sure to ask: 1. Is your extension fully processed? 2. Do they need anything else from you? 3. When can you expect payment after processing? Good luck!

I swear, dealing with unemployment is like a full-time job itself 🙄 The system is so broken

Hey, 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?

Yeah, it's totally 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 ridiculous. The system is so messed up 🤦‍♂️

I get it, but think about how much time you waste trying to get through. For me, time is money, and this saved me a ton of time

In my experience, after they receive the supplementary certificate, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for payment. But don't quote me on that, every case is different!

has anyone else noticed that the unemployment website is always down for "maintenance" when you need it most? 🙃

Conspiracy theory: they do it on purpose to reduce claims 👀

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your communications with them. Dates, times, who you spoke to, what was said. It's saved my butt more than once when there were discrepancies!
