EDD SDI payment delay: Certified for July, no payment for weeks. How to resolve?

I found a way to solve delayed EDD benefit payments, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvJTfumkbQs

guys, i think i figured it out. we need to sacrafice a goat under a full moon while chanting "edd please pay me". Works 60% of the time, every time 😎

Have you tried turning your unemployment off and on again? 🔌💻

Anyone else feel like were playing a game of unemployment roulette? 🎰 Spin the wheel, maybe you'll get paid, maybe you won't! EDD's favorite game show 🙃

I heard theres a glitch in the system affecting payments for July. Apparently its hitting a lot of people. Maybe try reaching out on social media? Sometimes they respond there.

have u checked ur claim balance? maybe u ran out of benefits and need to file a new claim. happened to me and i was clueless for weeks 🤦‍♂️

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

Remember when we thought 2020 was bad? 2023 EDD be like "hold my beer" 🍺😭

Yall ever think about how we could probably run EDD better than the actual EDD? Like, give me and my cat a weekend, some Red Bull, and we'd have this shit sorted 😤

Update: Finally got through to someone! Turns out there was a "stop payment alert" on my account for some reason. They're supposedly fixing it now. Fingers crossed 🤞

Same boat here. Certified on time but no payment for over a month now. EDD's website is useless and the phone lines are always busy. This is so frustrating!

Okay, listen up folks. I've been dealing with EDD for over a year now, and here's what I've learned: 1. Keep certifying on time, even if you're not getting paid. This creates a paper trail. 2. Document EVERYTHING. Screenshots, dates, times you tried to call. 3. Reach out to your local assembly member. They can sometimes expedite things. 4. If you get through on the phone, ask for a tier 2 specialist immediately. 5. Check your UI Online account for any pending issues or requests for additional info. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

It seems like a lot of us are going through similar issues with the EDD system. If you've exhausted all other options, services like Claimyr can offer a last resort. While it's unfortunate that such services are needed, they do help people who are struggling to make contact with EDD representatives. However, it's important to also be aware of free resources available such as contacting local representatives or joining community forums that may offer additional advice. Remember to keep a detailed record of all communications with EDD, and if you encounter issues, reaching out to advocacy groups for assistance might provide another avenue for resolution. It's also worth checking EDD's updates regularly as they do post about known issues and expected resolution times. Good luck to everyone!

guys i just had a briliant idea. what if we all pool our money together and buy EDD? then we can just pay ourselves! problem solved 🧠💡

Pro tip: If you stare at your EDD account long enough, the money might magically appear. It's like willing a watched pot to boil, but for poor people! 👀💰
