EDD Payment Paused and Not Posting - Need Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with paused payments for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried checking your online account for any updates or messages?

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 tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with paused payments: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you notice the pause, any communication attempts, and responses. 2. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 3. If possible, try to have some emergency funds set aside for situations like this. 4. Keep trying different contact methods - phone, email, social media, even snail mail if you have to. 5. Reach out to your local representative. They sometimes can help push things along. 6. Be persistent but polite. The person you finally reach probably isn't responsible for the delay. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but keep at it!

lol welcome to the club. been waiting on my payment for 3 weeks now. system's a joke 🤡

Have you checked if there's any pending identity verification or additional documentation they need? Sometimes that can hold things up.

Ive had this happen b4. turns out there was a glitch in there system. keep calling and eventually youll get someone who can fix it

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's not equipped to handle the volume of claims, especially during economic downturns. We should be writing to our representatives about this!
