EDD Payment Delay: Call Dropped, No Payments Received - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't received any unemployment payments yet and I'm starting to get worried. I tried calling the office but the call dropped. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get through to someone who can help?

I know right? I've called like 50 times and still nothing. This is getting ridiculous!

I feel your pain, OP. The system is so overwhelmed right now. Have you tried calling right when they open? I've heard that can sometimes work.

Thanks for the tip! What time do they open? I'll give it a shot tomorrow morning.

They open at 8 AM. Set your alarm and start dialing at 7:59! Good luck!

Listen up, I've been through this rodeo before and I've got some tips that might help: 1. Keep calling persistently. It's annoying, but sometimes it's the only way. 2. Try different times of the day. Early morning and late afternoon can be less busy. 3. Check your online account regularly for updates. 4. Make sure all your paperwork is in order and uploaded correctly. 5. If possible, try reaching out through social media. Sometimes they respond there. 6. Consider contacting your local representative. They can sometimes intervene. Remember, patience is key here. The system is overwhelmed, but keep at it. You'll get through eventually!

Contacting my rep actually worked for me! Took a while, but they eventually got back to me and helped push my case through.

Hey, I found a method that actually works 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20? That's kinda steep just to make a phone call...

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

Can confirm, I used it too. Beats calling 100 times yourself.

Guys, I think I figured out the secret code to get through the phone system! You have to press 2, then 1, then 3, then wait for the beep, then 4. It's like a video game cheat code lol

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that gets faster results than calling or uploading online.
