EDD Payment Issues: Last 2 Payments Missing, Can't Reach Human Agent
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payments. I haven't received the last two payments and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced this? When I called, I just got a robot answering. Any advice on how to actually talk to a real person?

Ugh, I feel your pain. EDD is such a nightmare to deal with. Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that might explain the delay.

Yeah, I checked online but it doesn't show any issues. Just says my payments are pending. So frustrating!

Pending usually means they're reviewing something. Could be identity verification or income verification. Hang in there!

Thanks for the info. Any idea how long the review usually takes?

It can vary a lot, unfortunately. I've seen it take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. 😩 The system is so backed up rn

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to your 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. Has anyone else tried this?

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

Can you give more details about how it works? Like, do you have to give them your personal info?

Nah, you just put in your phone number and they call you when they get an agent. You handle all the personal stuff directly with EDD. It's just a fancy autodialer basically

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past 6 months: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Check your UI Online account regularly for updates or messages. 3. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 4. If you get through to someone, ask them to notate your account. 5. Consider contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. 6. Keep all your documents organized in case they ask for additional proof. 7. Don't give up! The system is frustrating but keep at it. Hope this helps someone out there. We're all in this together! 💪

Anyone else notice that payments seem to come through faster if you certify right at midnight when the system updates? Or am I just imagining things?
