EDD Payment Delay: 2+ Weeks and Still Nothing. What to Do?

Ugh, I feel you. I was in the same boat last month. Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's a hold-up due to identity verification or missing docs.

Pro tip: call them first thing in the morning. Like, right when they open. You might have to try a few times, but its the best way to 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 tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there. worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

Listen up, folks. I've been through this rodeo before, so here's what you need to know: • First, double-check that you've completed all parts of your claim. Missing info can cause delays. • If everything's filled out, look for a message in your online account. They might need additional docs. • No message? Call them. Yes, it's a pain, but it's necessary. Try early mornings or late afternoons. • If calling fails, write a detailed email explaining your situation. Include your claim number. • Still no luck? Contact your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. • Document everything: calls, emails, names of reps you speak to. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but you'll get through eventually. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're owed? 🤔
