EDD Payment Issues: Anyone Else Experiencing Delays or Problems?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payment and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else experienced problems with their payments recently? I'm wondering if there have been any changes to the system or if it's just me. Any advice or insights would be really appreciated!

Ugh, join the club. 🙄 I've been dealing with EDD payment issues for weeks now. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our money. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho, its like trying to win the lottery.

Seriously, calling EDD is a nightmare. I spent 3 hours on hold yesterday only to get disconnected. 😤 This system is so broken!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 45 minutes of hold time. Still sucks, but better than nothing.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a shot tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed 🤞

I found a method 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken we have to pay to get help now? 🤦‍♂️

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. After weeks of trying to get through, I was desperate. Worth every penny tbh.

Can confirm, I used this service too. Saved me hours of frustration. Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money, ya know?

Have you checked your EDD account online? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional information that can hold up payments. Make sure all your certifications are up to date too.

I'm in the same boat, fam. 🚣‍♀️ My payments have been pending for over a month now. Apparently, there's a huge backlog of claims they're working through. Hang in there!

A month?! That's insane. How are people supposed to survive without income for that long? The system is a joke.

Tell me about it. I've been living off ramen and the kindness of friends. It's rough out here. 😔

Here's what I've learned from my own EDD payment saga: 1. Double-check all your certifications are completed correctly. 2. Look for any pending interviews or additional info requests in your online account. 3. If you have a complex claim (like going from UI to PUA), it might take longer to process. 4. Sometimes payments get held up for identity verification. 5. Keep certifying even if you're not getting paid - you'll get backpay once it's resolved. 6. As a last resort, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite claims. Hope this helps! Hang in there, everyone. We're all in this mess together. 💪

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're allergic to helping us.

0 coins

Omg yes! It's always down on Sunday nights when I'm trying to certify. So frustrating!

Guys, I heard a rumor that EDD is updating their system soon. Supposedly it'll make payments faster and more reliable. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?

0 coins

I'll believe it when I see it. They've been promising improvements for years.
