EDD Payment Delay: Haven't Received Money in Weeks. What to Do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't received my payment yet and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced delays with their payments recently? Any advice on what I should do next? I've tried calling but can't seem to get through to anyone. This is really stressing me out!

I found a way to solve payment delays for unemployment claims, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKOAjnO8h68

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting on my payment for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried checking your account online to see if there's any update?

Yeah, I've been checking obsessively but nothing new shows up. It just says 'pending' and has been like that for days. 😫

Same boat here. The online system is useless rn. Feels like we're all just shouting into the void 🕳️

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

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but I tried it and it actually worked. Got through to someone in about an hour.

20 bucks tho? That's kinda steep just to talk to someone...

I get it, but for me it was worth it. I was losing my mind trying to get through on my own.

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. The system is completely broken. They need to hire more people or upgrade their tech or SOMETHING. We can't keep living like this!

Preach! 🙌 It's like they don't even care that people are struggling to pay bills and buy food.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this issue for way too long: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and online account updates. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Reach out to your local representative. Sometimes they can help push things through. 4. Check if there are any known system issues or updates that might be causing delays. 5. Make sure all your information is up to date in the system. 6. If you're really struggling, look into emergency assistance programs in your area. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but keep pushing!

Hey OP, when was your last payment? And have you had any changes to your claim recently?

Last payment was about 3 weeks ago. No changes that I know of, which is why this is so confusing!
