EDD Payment Not Received - What Can I Do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I was supposed to receive a payment but it's been a while and I still haven't gotten anything. Has anyone else experienced this? It's really stressing me out because I was counting on that money. Any advice on what I should do or who I should contact? I've tried calling but can't get through to anyone. This is so frustrating!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been in the same boat before. Have you tried checking your account online to see if there's any update on the payment status? Sometimes it shows pending or processing before it actually hits your account.

Yeah, I've checked online like a million times 😫 It just says 'payment issued' but nothing's showed up in my bank account. It's been over a week now!

A week? That's nothing lol. I've been waiting for almost a month now. The system is totally broken 🤡

Wow, a month?! That's insane. OP, maybe try reaching out on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there.

I had this issue last year. turns out they had my old bank info on file. Double check that all your info is up to date in the system. It's a pain, but it might save you some time in the long run.

Hey, 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

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

I was skeptical at first too, but I can confirm it's legit. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

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

I get it, it sucks to pay. But for me, time is money. I'd rather pay $20 than waste hours on hold or miss out on bigger payments.

Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster. It's worth a shot!

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that. Do you know how I would go about finding my local rep?

Just google '[your state] find my representative' and it should give you a website where you can enter your address. They usually have contact forms or office numbers listed.

Preach! 🙌 It's like we're screaming into the void. They need to hire more people or something.

OK, let me break this down for you. Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Check your spam folder. Sometimes important emails end up there. 3. Verify your identity hasn't been compromised. Unfortunately, there's been a rise in unemployment fraud. 4. If you haven't already, file an official complaint through their website. This creates a paper trail. 5. Reach out to your state's unemployment office via multiple channels - phone, email, and social media. 6. Contact your local state representative or senator's office. They often have liaisons who can intervene on your behalf. 7. If all else fails, consider contacting local media. Sometimes public pressure can get results. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Good luck!
