EDD Payment Delay: How Long After Submitting Paperwork for Continued Claim?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for weeks now and still nothing. It's like they're purposely making it difficult for us to get our money. 🤬

In my experience, it can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks for them to process paperwork and issue payments. But with how backed up they are lately, who knows? 🤷‍♂️

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

Here's what I've learned from dealing with this mess for months: 1. Be persistent. Keep calling and submitting your paperwork. 2. Double-check everything before you send it in. One tiny mistake can delay your claim for weeks. 3. If possible, upload documents online instead of mailing them. 4. Keep a record of all your communications with them. 5. If you're really desperate, try contacting your local representative. Sometimes they can help push things through. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you'll get your money eventually. 💪

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get money we're entitled to? the whole systems a joke 🤡

Has anyone else noticed that the website is always "under maintenance" when you try to check your claim status? It's driving me crazy! 😤

Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open in the morning. I usually have better luck then.

Anyone else feel like they're playing a twisted game of unemployment roulette? Some weeks I get paid no problem, other weeks it's radio silence. There's no rhyme or reason to it!
