EDD Payment Delay: Weeks Without Unemployment Check. Help!

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4_16RJBAws

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last month. Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that can help.

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 tried contacting your local assemblymember? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.

OMG THIS IS LITERALLY ME RN 😭 I've been waiting for like 2 months and still nothing. The system is so messed up I swear

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for the past year: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls and online activity. 3. Check for any pending certifications or additional info they might need. 4. If you can't get through on the phone, try the UI Online messaging system. 5. Reach out to your local assemblymember or state senator. 6. Join Facebook groups for CA unemployment support. Lots of good info there. 7. If all else fails, consider filing an appeal. Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but don't give up!

lol welcome to the club. EDD is a joke rn. Good luck getting your $$$

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading online? I heard that sometimes works better.
