EDD Payment Missing for Last 2 Weeks - What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't received my unemployment payments for the last two weeks. I submitted my continued claim forms on time, but still nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I should do next?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been 3 weeks for me and I'm starting to get really worried. Have you tried calling EDD? I've been trying but can't get through.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week.

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?

idk man, paying to get through seems sketchy. Shouldn't this be a free service?

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me weeks of frustration. The $20 was worth it to finally get my issue resolved.

Can you explain more about how it works? Do they guarantee you'll get through?

Sure! They use an automated system to navigate the phone tree and wait on hold. When a real person answers, it connects to your phone. No guarantee, but it worked for me on the first try.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your UI Online account to make sure your claim forms were actually submitted successfully. 2. Look for any messages or alerts in your inbox - sometimes they need additional info. 3. If everything looks good on your end, you'll need to contact EDD directly. 4. Try calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon - those are usually less busy times. 5. If you can't get through by phone, send a message through your UI Online account. 6. As a last resort, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed right now, but persistence usually pays off.

This is great advice. I'd add that keeping a log of all your attempts to contact them can be helpful if you need to escalate the issue.

This is getting ridiculous. The EDD needs to get their act together. We're all struggling here and their incompetence is making everything worse. 🤬

Preach! 👏 It's like they forget we're real people with bills to pay.

Cut them some slack, they're dealing with unprecedented volume. But yeah, it sucks.

Has anyone tried reaching out to their state representative? I've heard some people have had luck going that route.

I did! My assemblyman's office was super helpful. Took about a week, but they got my issue resolved.

How do you even find out who your state rep is? 🤔

Just google '[your city] state representative'. Most have forms on their websites for constituent services.
