EDD Payment Delayed Over a Week - No Answer on Phone. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payment. It's been over a week since I was supposed to receive it, and still nothing. I've been trying to get through to someone on the phone, but no luck so far. Has anyone else experienced delays like this recently? Any advice on how to speed things up or get in touch with a real person would be really appreciated.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for my payment for almost two weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried checking your online account for any updates or messages?

ā¢Yeah, I've been checking my account like crazy. No updates or messages there either. It's like they've just forgotten about us š

ā¢Same boat here. The silence is deafening. Makes you wonder if they're even processing claims at all rn š¤

ā¢It's ridiculous. They expect us to survive on air while they take their sweet time. Hang in there, OP!

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

ā¢Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

ā¢I was skeptical at first too, but I tried it and it actually worked. Got through to an agent in about an hour instead of spending days trying to call myself.

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

This is getting out of hand. I've been dealing with payment delays for MONTHS now. The whole system is broken. We need to organize and demand change!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: ā¢ Always keep a record of your communications with them ā¢ Double-check that all your certifications are completed correctly ā¢ If you've had any changes in income, make sure to report them ā¢ Sometimes, pending payments are due to identity verification issues ā¢ Check if there are any outstanding forms or questionnaires in your inbox ā¢ Try calling right when they open or just before closing - sometimes less busy ā¢ If all else fails, contact your local assembly member or senator's office Hope this helps someone! Hang in there, everyone. I know it's tough.

ā¢I tried it last week. Waited 2 hours to connect, then got disconnected after 5 mins. Total waste of time imo

Just a heads up, I've heard they're doing a system upgrade this weekend. Might cause more delays, but hopefully it'll make things smoother in the long run. Fingers crossed! š¤
