EDD Payment Delays: Haven't Received Unemployment in Weeks - What to Do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Haven't seen a payment in weeks. The system is so broken rn 😤

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that can help explain whats going on.

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 I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep certifying every two weeks, even if you're not getting paid. 2. Check your inbox for any messages or requests for additional info. 3. If you can, try calling right when they open or just before they close. 4. Consider contacting your local assembly member's office for help. 5. Document everything - dates you certified, called, any responses you get. 6. If you're really desperate, that claimyr service someone mentioned might be worth a shot. Hang in there, everyone. This system is a nightmare, but don't give up!

anyone else feel like were living in a dystopian novel? 🤡 government be like 'let them eat cake' while we cant even get our benefits smh

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting paid, make sure you're answering the certification questions correctly. One wrong answer can hold up your whole claim!

Hey OP, have you checked if there's an issue with your identity verification? That held up my payments for weeks until I figured it out.
