EDD SDI: No payments received for certified weeks - What's going on and how to fix?

Same boat here. Certified for 3 weeks in April, radio silence from EDD. Starting to feel like I'm shouting into the void 🗣️

Check your UI Online account. Sometimes payments get held up for identity verification or other issues. Might give you a clue whats going on

plot twist: EDD is actually run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels 🐹

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member? They can sometimes help push things through with EDD.

Okay, let me break this down for you. I've been dealing with EDD for over a year now, and here's what I've learned: 1. System Glitches: Sometimes the EDD system just... breaks. Your certifications might be in limbo. 2. Identity Verification: They might be verifying your identity. This can hold up payments for weeks. 3. Quarterly Review: Every quarter, they review claims. This could cause delays. 4. Exhausted Benefits: Make sure you haven't hit your maximum benefit amount. 5. Eligibility Issues: There might be a question about your eligibility they're reviewing. Here's what you can do: - Keep certifying every two weeks, even if you're not getting paid. - Check your UI Online account daily for any updates or messages. - Try calling early in the morning or late afternoon on Wednesdays or Thursdays. - If all else fails, contact your local assembly member or state senator. Remember, persistence is key with EDD. Don't give up!

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

Ugh, classic EDD. They're probably "reviewing" your claim or some BS. Have you tried calling them?

anyone else miss the $600 federal boost? those were the days 😭

Have u tried faxing ur docs? Sometimes old school methods work better w/ EDD

It's important to stay persistent and try different methods. Many people have found success with services like Claimyr, which can help you get through to EDD for a fee. While it's understandable to be hesitant, especially with the cost, the service has positive reviews from users who have saved time and reduced stress. It's not the only solution, though; always check your online account, keep certifying weekly, and reach out to local government representatives who can sometimes expedite the process. This comprehensive approach will hopefully aid you in resolving your payment issue.

Hang in there OP. The system is broken but we're all in this together. Hope you get your money soon! 💪
