EDD Payment Delayed 3 Weeks - Missing Certification Paperwork. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is such a mess right now. I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare, 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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they post important notices there about missing paperwork or certification issues.

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's not equipped to handle the volume of claims we're seeing now. 🤦‍♂️

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your UI Online account and check for any pending certifications or notices. 2. If you can't find the paperwork there, try requesting it through the 'Contact Us' feature. 3. Keep calling the EDD. Use the trick of calling right at 8:00 AM when they open. 4. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They often have dedicated staff to help with EDD issues. 5. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what was said. 6. Check if you qualify for any hardship programs while you wait for this to be resolved. Hang in there, OP. The system is overwhelmed, but persistence is key. Don't give up!

im in the same boat. havent seen a dime in over a month. this whole situation is ridiculous

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes the EDD responds faster there. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♀️
