EDD SDI payment delay: Submitted paperwork weeks ago, still no money. How long does it usually take?

Has anyone else submitted paperwork to EDD and not gotten paid yet? I turned in my documents a while ago and still haven't seen any money. It's getting frustrating. Anyone know what's going on or how long this usually takes?

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Be patient. It can take 4-8 weeks for them to process new claims or documents. 2. Double-check that you submitted everything correctly. One small error can delay things. 3. Keep calling, even if it's frustrating. Sometimes you need to talk to a rep to move things along. 4. Check your UI Online account daily for updates or requests for more info. 5. If it's been more than 8 weeks, consider contacting your local assembly member for help. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! I'll def keep trying to call. Didn't know about the assembly member thing - might give that a shot if it goes on much longer.

guys 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. heres a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

I've used Claimyr before, and it did help me get through to EDD much faster. While it does cost a fee, it can provide peace of mind if you're struggling to get through on your own. However, it's important to weigh the cost against your personal finances. Claimyr is just one tool among many, and for some, like those in severe financial distress, it might not be the best option due to its cost. It might be worth trying other free methods first or contacting your local representatives for support. Everyone's situation is different, so consider all options and what works best for you.
