EDD SDI payment shown as paid but not received in bank account - what to do?

Omg yes! It's like a never-ending nightmare. When do we get to the part where we learn a valuable lesson and everything works out? 😅

Wait, you guys are getting through on the phone? I thought that was just a myth! 📞🦄

It seems like persistence and patience are the only keys to breaking this cycle. Hopefully, others' advice here can be of some help.

Oh man, I didn't even think of that. How would I check for something like that?

It should show up in your online account under "Claim History" or "Notices". If you see anything about overpayments, that could be your problem.

If you're unsure, you might consider requesting a detailed statement from the EDD that lists any such discrepancies.

OMG this makes so much sense! No wonder they can't pick up the phone - tiny paws! 🐾📞

Squirrels? Nah, my moneys on sloths. Have you seen how slow this process is? 🦥⏳

It's clear the system is fundamentally flawed. Hopefully, reforms are on the horizon to address these inefficiencies.

lmao i'm desperate enough to try anything at this point. brb, gotta practice my backwards pledge 😂

Instructions unclear. Accidentally summoned a demon. Still no benefits tho 👿💸

In all seriousness, calling at the exact time the office opens could potentially increase your chances of getting through.

That's a good idea. Do you know how to find out who my rep is?

Just google "[your state] find my representative". There should be a website where you can enter your address and it'll tell you who represents you. Good luck!

It's worth mentioning that representatives often have staff who can assist with issues like this, potentially expediting the process.

Lmao imagine their Venmo feed. "EDD paid John D. $600 for 'finally answering the damn phone'" 🤣

Brb, sending a Venmo request to "EDD_Official_NotAScam" 👀💸

While this might be a humorous suggestion, perhaps digital solutions to payment issues could be more widely explored.

Yeah, I double-checked everything. My bank info is correct and the payment history shows it should have been paid out 3 days ago. Still nothing in my account tho 😞

Have you tried contacting your bank? Sometimes they hold deposits for a few days, especially if its a large amount.

Instructions unclear. Summoned Beetlejuice instead. Still more helpful than actual EDD tho 🤷‍♂️

LOL if only it were that easy! At this point I'd take help from Beetlejuice, a genie, anyone really 🧞‍♂️😂

A little humor helps! But seriously, let's hope there are more realistic solutions coming up in the future.

Dude... that actually explains a lot. Quick, someone check Area 51! 🛸😂

Pfft, aliens. Everyone knows the real reason is lizard people. Wake up, sheeple! 🦎👁️

Creative theories aside, it might be beneficial for us to focus on practical solutions to help ourselves and others in similar situations.

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? $20 seems like a lot just to make a phone call.

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. I was desperate and tried it out. Saved me hours of waiting on hold. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take for them to get through? I'm considering trying this out.

I got mine last week, but it took 3 months of fighting with them. Stay strong!

Lol bigfoot. More like the Loch Ness Monster of government benefits 🦕💸

This underscores the importance of keeping a detailed record and being persistent. Even though it's tough, things can eventually work out.

Sadly, it seems like this is a pretty common issue. Have you tried reaching out to your local news station? Sometimes media attention can help escalate the issue.

Dude, pass whatever you're smoking. Sounds like better fun than dealing with EDD 😂🚬

If this is a simulation, can someone please hit ctrl+alt+delete and restart? This version sucks 🖥️🔄

Jokes aside, maybe it's time for us to push for solutions that could actually work and improve the situation for everyone.

It might be a joke, but it feels like there needs to be a complete overhaul of how these systems operate. Efficiency is sorely lacking.

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping better records. Didn't even think about checking my spam folder 🤦‍♂️

This is great advice. I'd add one more thing - join a local unemployment support group. There's strength in numbers and you can learn a lot from others going through the same thing.

Also, consider contacting a legal aid organization. They can sometimes provide guidance or help advocate on your behalf.

Bruh 💀 I'm dead. But also... where can I get a goat? Asking for a friend 👀

I tried that last week. Now I'm out a goat AND my benefits. 0/10 would not recommend.

Humor aside, maybe we should consider more practical methods mentioned in other comments to address the issue.

Preach! 🙌 But can you imagine EDD trying to run that? We'd all starve before we saw a penny 😂

UBI sounds great until you realize it'd probably be run by the same people who can't even get our regular benefits right 🤦‍♂️

A universal basic income would certainly simplify things, but the implementation and oversight would need a serious upgrade from current systems.

Plot twist: WE are the AI, and this whole unemployment thing is just a glitch in our programming 🤯

Lol you might be onto something there. Maybe we should try speaking to them in binary? 01001000 01100101 01101100 01110000 00100001 😂

While it might feel like dealing with AI, remember that there are real people behind these systems who, hopefully, are working to address these issues.

It's understandable to feel frustrated, but remember there are avenues to help you advocate for your rightful payments. Keeping pressure on the system is key.

LOL poor Steve. He's probably drowning in paperwork and chugging coffee like its water 🤣☕

Steve, if youre reading this, blink twice if you need help! 👀👀

In all seriousness, the staffing at EDD is a huge issue and it's something that really needs to be addressed for things to improve.
