EDD Payment Delay After Submitting Reduced Hours Form - What to Do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Sent my form in last week and crickets 🦗 Have you tried calling them? I've been trying but can't get through.

48 hours isn't too bad yet. When I submitted mine, it took almost a week before I saw any movement. The system is so backed up rn

Here's what I've learned from dealing with this mess: 1. Double-check that your form was filled out correctly. Any tiny mistake can delay things. 2. If it's been more than 5 business days, definitely call them. 3. Keep a record of when you submitted and any confirmation numbers. 4. Check your online account daily for updates. 5. If calling doesn't work, try reaching out through their online portal. Hang in there! The waiting game sucks, but persistence usually pays off.

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

have you checked your spam folder? sometimes the confirmation emails end up there lol learned that one the hard way 🤦‍♂️

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to wait around with no income while they take their sweet time? It's criminal 😤
