EDD Payment Delayed 2+ Weeks, No Income - Need Help ASAP!

I found a way to solve delayed unemployment claim payments, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3vjC8ASFXY

Ugh, I feel ya. I was in the same boat last month. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

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 worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you filed, when your doctor submitted forms, and any communication attempts. 2. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help push things through. 3. If you're really in a bind, consider applying for emergency assistance through local charities or your county's social services. 4. Keep calling, but try different times of day. Early morning or right before closing sometimes works. 5. Check your online account regularly for any updates or requests for additional info. Hang in there! The system sucks, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

have you checked your spam folder? sometimes the notifications end up there lol

Oof, two weeks is nothing my dude. I've been waiting for 2 months now. The whole system is a joke 🤡

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it gets attention faster than online submissions.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes publicly @ing them can get a response.

ugh im so tired of seeing these posts. not bc of u OP, but bc the system is so broken that were all struggling. solidarity my friend 💪
