EDD Payment Delay After Submitting Reduced Hours Form - How Long Did You Wait?

I went through this last month. It took about 2 weeks for me to get paid after submitting the reduced hours form. Hang in there!

Make sure you double-check that you filled out everything correctly on the form. I made a tiny mistake and it delayed my payment by weeks. 🤦‍♂️

Ugh, the waiting game is the worst. I'm in the same boat, submitted my form last week and still nothing. This whole process is so frustrating!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about this! 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

Pro tip: Keep a detailed log of all your submissions, including dates and confirmation numbers if you get them. It'll help if you need to follow up or if there are any discrepancies.

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to speed up the payment process? I saw something on the news but couldn't find much info online.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this system for months: • Always submit forms as early as possible in the week • Double-check EVERYTHING before submitting • Keep copies of all documents you submit • If you don't hear anything after 3 weeks, start trying to contact them • Use the online portal when possible, it's usually faster than mail • If you need to call, try early in the morning or late afternoon • Be persistent but polite when dealing with staff Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? 🎓🤡
