EDD Payment Delays: Stuck on 'Pending' for Weeks - Need Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you checked your online account to see if there's any info there?

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 my experience with delayed payments: 1. Check your online account for any pending issues or required documents 2. Make sure all your certifications are completed correctly 3. If you've changed banks or addresses, update your info ASAP 4. Try calling early in the morning or late in the evening for better chances 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative's office. They can sometimes help push things through Hope this helps! Hang in there, the system is overwhelmed but they'll get to you eventually.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week after I faxed my issue

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to survive on air while they 'process' our claims. I've been waiting for 2 months now. TWO MONTHS! 🤬

Has anyone tried reaching out on social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses by tweeting at the unemployment office.

Pro tip: if u can get thru on the phone, ask for a tier 2 specialist right away. The first person u talk to usually cant do much

Anyone else notice that every time they 'update' the system, everything gets worse? 🤔 It's like they're trying to make it impossible on purpose

Guys, I know it's tough but don't give up. Keep calling, keep certifying, and document EVERYTHING. If you have to appeal later, you'll need all the records you can get.
