EDD Payment Received Without Contact - Should I Be Worried?
Hey everyone, I'm in a weird situation with EDD. I got my payment but they never contacted me like they were supposed to. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if everything's okay. Any advice would be appreciated!

That's actually pretty common. As long as you got paid, you should be fine. EDD is notoriously bad at communication. Just keep an eye on your account for any updates or messages.

Thanks for the reassurance! I was getting anxious about it. Do you know if I should still expect them to contact me at some point?

Honestly, it's hit or miss. They might never contact you if everything looks good on their end. Just make sure you keep certifying on time and you should be good to go!

Congrats on getting paid! š That's the most important part. EDD is swamped, so they probably just didn't have time to reach out. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Got paid without any contact. I called them just to make sure everything was okay, and they said it was all good. Took forever to get through tho š«

How long did it take you to get through on the phone? I'm considering calling but I've heard horror stories about the wait times.

It took me like 3 hours of constant redialing. It's a nightmare, but if it'll give you peace of mind, it might be worth it. Just have something to do while you wait lol

Pro tip: I found a way to get someone on the phone without the wait. 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

Consider yourself lucky! Some of us are still waiting for payments AND contact. The system is so broken š¤

I'm sorry you're still waiting. That must be so stressful. Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help.

Here's what you need to know about EDD payments and communication: ā¢ Getting paid without contact is common and usually not a problem ā¢ EDD is severely backlogged, so lack of communication doesn't necessarily mean anything's wrong ā¢ Keep certifying for benefits as usual ā¢ Check your UI Online account regularly for any updates or messages ā¢ If you're really concerned, you can try calling, but be prepared for long wait times ā¢ Keep all documentation related to your claim in case you need it later ā¢ If anything changes with your employment status, report it immediately Remember, no news is often good news with EDD. As long as you're getting paid and there are no issues flagged on your account, you're probably fine. Just stay vigilant and keep up with your responsibilities as a claimant.

This should be pinned at the top of the subreddit tbh. So many people have the same questions.

Fr fr. I'm convinced they just throw darts at a board to decide who gets paid each week šÆ
