EDD: No payments since Nov 6, still disabled. Why isn't my claim being processed?

Hey everyone, I'm in a tough spot. Haven't received any unemployment payments since early November. Still disabled and can't figure out why my claim isn't being processed. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to get through to someone at the unemployment office?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQKeQtOqWIc

Ugh, I feel you. The system is so broken rn. Have you tried checking your online portal for any pending issues or holds? Sometimes they don't even notify you when theres a problem.

Yeah, I've checked the portal like a million times. No pending issues showing up. It's like my claim just vanished into thin air 😫

Same boat here. Portal shows nothing, but no $ coming in. Its like were stuck in limbo or smthn

Man, that sucks. Sounds like you might need to get someone on the phone. Good luck with that tho, its practically impossible these days πŸ™„

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

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

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. After weeks of trying to get through, I was desperate. The $20 was worth it to finally get my issue resolved.

I've used it too. Can confirm it works. Saved me hours of frustration.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember or state senator? They can sometimes help push claims through faster.

Ive been dealing with this exact issue for months now. Heres what I've learned: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Check your mail religiously. Sometimes they send important notices that require quick action. 3. If you can, try faxing your documents. Sounds old school, but it can be more reliable than their online system. 4. Join Facebook groups for unemployment issues in your state. Theres often good info there. 5. Be persistent. It sucks, but you gotta keep trying. Hang in there, OP. I know its tough, but dont give up!

Yeah, I've tried that. No luck so far. It's like playing the lottery at this point πŸ˜…

Not sure if this helps, but there was a glitch in the system back in October that affected a bunch of claims. Might be worth asking about that specifically if you get through to someone.

This whole situation is a joke. We pay into this system our whole working lives and when we need it, it's broken af. Anyone else feel like were living in a dystopia? 🀑

Preach! πŸ‘ The system is rigged against us, I swear

Calm down, it's not that bad. At least we have a system in place, even if it's not perfect.

Hey OP, sorry youre going through this. Quick question - have you made sure all your certifications are up to date? Sometimes that can cause payment delays.
