EDD Payment Delay: 2+ Weeks Since Last Payment on 11/13. Anyone Else?

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

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My last payment was on the 10th, and I'm still waiting. It's so frustrating when you're counting on that money to come through. Have you tried calling EDD? I've been trying, but can't get through.

I found a method to 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

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are hidden messages or requests for additional info that can hold up your payments.

This is ridiculous. The system is so broken. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. 😡

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: 1. Always certify on time, even if payments are delayed 2. Check your UI Online account daily for updates or messages 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting them through AskEDD 4. Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact them 5. If all else fails, reach out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite things Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but persistence is key with EDD.

Anyone else notice that delays seem to happen more around holidays? It's like they use it as an excuse to slack off 🙄

Hey OP, have you checked if there were any changes to your claim recently? Sometimes even small updates can cause delays.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🎭

Guys, I heard theres gonna be another update to the EDD system next month. Brace yourselves for more delays 😫
