EDD Payment Missing - How to Track Down?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I requested a payment from the unemployment office, but now I can't seem to find it. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm starting to get worried because I really need that money. Any advice on how to track down a missing payment or who to contact?

Ugh, I feel you. The unemployment system is such a mess rn. Have you tried logging into your account to check the payment status? Sometimes it takes a few days to show up.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in there system and a bunch of payments were delayed. Might be worth asking if anyone else in your area is experiencing delays.

This is why we need UBI. The current system is a joke.

Hey, 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. Has anyone else tried this?

$20? That's steep. Is it really worth it?

I was skeptical too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Totally worth it imo.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your payment method: Make sure your direct deposit info is correct in the system. 2. Check your claim status: Sometimes payments get held up if there's an issue with your claim. 3. Look for any correspondence: They might have sent you a letter or email about the payment. 4. Contact your bank: In rare cases, the payment might be held up on the bank's end. 5. Keep detailed records: Note down when you certified, when payments usually arrive, etc. 6. Reach out to your local representative: They can sometimes help push things along. 7. As a last resort, file an appeal: If you believe the payment should have been issued and wasn't, you can file a formal appeal. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but you'll get your money eventually.

Have you tried calling them? I know its a pain, but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and spend hours on hold.

Pro tip: call right when they open. Like, set an alarm and everything. It's the only way I've ever gotten through.
