EDD Payment Not Received - What to Do?

I found a way to solve late EDD payment issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Crx2NCvM0

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating when payments are late. Have you tried calling the EDD? Sometimes they can give you more info about whats going on with your claim.

Check your claim status online. Sometimes there's a hold on payments if they need additional info from you. Happened to me last month and I had no idea until I logged in.

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

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there and you might have missed an important notice.

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was an identity verification issue. I had to upload some documents to prove my identity. Check if you have any pending tasks in your account.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your claim status online 2. Look for any pending tasks or requests for additional information 3. Make sure all your certifications are up to date 4. Check your payment history to see if there's any indication of why the payment might be held up 5. If you can't find any issues, try to contact EDD through their online messaging system 6. As a last resort, keep trying to call. Early morning or late afternoon tend to be less busy If none of that works, you might want to contact your local assembly member's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating but don't give up!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing works and we're all just clowns trying to get our money 🤡🤡🤡

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might be more effective than actually trying to use their system 😂

Serious question: has anyone had luck with the EDD chatbot? I've been thinking of trying it but not sure if it's just another waste of time.

Hey Isaiah! I went through the exact same thing a couple months ago - payment was 5 days late and I was panicking. First thing I'd recommend is logging into your EDD account and checking if there's a "reopen claim" button or any pending issues listed. Sometimes they automatically put a hold on your claim if there's been a gap in certification or if something seems off with your info. Also, double-check that your direct deposit info is still correct - I know someone whose bank account got closed and they had no idea their payments were bouncing back. The online messaging system through your account might be slower but it's sometimes more reliable than calling. Hope you get it sorted soon! 🤞

I had a similar situation a few weeks ago where my payment was delayed by almost a week. What helped me was checking the "History" section in my EDD account - there was actually a notice there that I had missed saying they needed me to verify some employment dates. Once I submitted that info, my payment came through within 2 days. Also, if you're really stuck, try reaching out to your state senator or assembly member's office. They have staff specifically trained to help with EDD issues and can sometimes get things moving faster than calling EDD directly. Don't lose hope - the system is frustrating but most payment delays do get resolved eventually!

I'm dealing with the same issue right now - my payment is 3 days late and I'm starting to stress about rent. Based on what others have shared here, I'm going to try logging into my account to check for any pending tasks or verification requests first. It sounds like there's often something small that needs to be addressed that we might not notice right away. If that doesn't work, I might try that assembly member suggestion - I had no idea that was even an option! Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, it's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this mess. The EDD system really needs an overhaul but at least we have each other to help figure it out 🤝

I've been through this exact situation twice now, and I know how stressful it is when you're counting on that money! Here's what I've learned from my experiences: First, definitely log into your EDD portal and check every section - not just the main page. Look under History, Inbox, and any notification areas. Sometimes there's a small task or verification request hiding there that's holding up your payment. Second, make sure your contact info and banking details are still current - I once had a payment delayed because my phone number had changed and they couldn't reach me. If you don't find anything obvious online, try the messaging system through your account rather than calling. It's slower but at least you'll get a response eventually. And if you're really stuck after a week or so, definitely reach out to your local assembly member's office like others mentioned - they have staff who deal with EDD issues all the time. Keep your chin up, Isaiah - these delays are super common and almost always get resolved, even though the waiting is awful! 🙏

I'm so sorry you're going through this stress, Isaiah! Payment delays are unfortunately way too common with EDD. Here's what I'd suggest based on my own experience: 1) Log into your account and check EVERYWHERE - the inbox, history, notifications, and look for any "pending" status or action items you might have missed. 2) Verify your direct deposit info is still correct - sometimes banks update account numbers and we don't realize it. 3) If you don't see any obvious issues online, try the secure messaging system through your EDD portal rather than calling - it's slow but you'll actually get a response. 4) Check your email spam folder for any EDD notices. 5) If it's been over a week, contact your assembly member's office - they have EDD liaisons who can often resolve these issues much faster than going through normal channels. I know the waiting is absolutely terrible when you need the money, but hang in there! Most of these delays do get sorted out, even though the system is frustrating. Keep us updated on how it goes! 💙

Hey Isaiah! I totally understand your stress - I went through this exact same situation about 6 months ago and it was awful waiting for money I desperately needed. Here's what ended up working for me: First, log into your EDD portal and check EVERY section - not just the main dashboard. Look under "History," "Inbox," "Notifications," and "Claim Summary." Sometimes there's a small verification request or pending task hiding there that's blocking your payment. Second, double-check that your direct deposit info is still accurate - my payment got delayed once because my bank had updated my account number and I didn't realize it. Third, if you don't find anything obvious online, use the secure messaging system through your EDD account rather than trying to call. It's slower but you'll actually get a real response from a person. And finally, if it's been more than a week, definitely contact your assembly member's office like others have mentioned - they have staff specifically trained to help with EDD issues and can often get things moving way faster than the normal channels. I know the waiting is torture when you need the money for bills, but try to stay positive. Most of these delays do get resolved, even though the system is incredibly frustrating. Keep checking your account daily and don't give up! You've got this! 💪
