EDD Payment Delayed for Weeks - What Can I Do?

I found a way to solve delayed unemployment payments, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcQ5uEOGW7Q

Ugh, I feel ya. I've been waiting for my payment for over a month now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling EDD? That's usually the first step, but good luck getting through 🙄

I found a method that actually works to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional information that can hold up your payment. Make sure everything is up to date!

I'm in the same boat, friend. It's been 3 weeks for me. I've heard that sometimes payments get delayed if there's a holiday or if they're doing system maintenance. Might be worth checking if either of those apply?

OK, let me break this down for you. There could be several reasons why your payment is delayed: 1. Identity verification issues: EDD has been cracking down on fraud, so they might be verifying your identity. 2. Eligibility questions: If there's any doubt about your eligibility, they might put a hold on your payments. 3. Certification problems: Make sure you're certifying correctly every two weeks. 4. System glitches: Unfortunately, these happen more often than they should. 5. High volume of claims: With the pandemic, they're dealing with an unprecedented number of claims. Here's what you can do: - Double-check your UI Online account for any messages or requests. - Make sure all your information is up to date. - Try contacting them through email or social media (sometimes they respond faster there). - If you can, try to speak with a rep (use that calling service someone mentioned if you're desperate). - Reach out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! It's a frustrating process, but keep at it. You'll get your money eventually.

lol welcome to the club. EDD is a joke these days. I've been waiting 2 months and still nothing. Good luck!

Have you tried reaching out to them on Twitter? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses that way. Worth a shot!

Ugh, I feel for you. I was in the same situation last month. What finally worked for me was sending a message through the UI Online portal. It took a few days, but they actually responded and fixed the issue. Might be worth trying if you haven't already.
