I found a way to solve payment status delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kc0ocYiYwE

Here's what I usually do when checking on my payment status: 1. Log into your online account first thing in the morning 2. Check for any new messages or updates 3. Look at your payment history to see if anything's changed 4. If nothing there, try calling right when they open 5. Be prepared with your claim number and any relevant dates 6. If you can't get through, keep trying throughout the day Hope this helps! It's a pain, but persistence is key.

Have you tried checking your online account? Sometimes it updates there before they notify you.

lol good luck. ive been trying to get an update for weeks. its like talking to a brick wall 🧱

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's absolutely insane how bad their customer service is. I'm about ready to give up 😫

This might sound crazy, but I had success reaching out on Twitter. Their social media team sometimes responds faster than phone support.

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

Pro tip: call your local representative's office. They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.

Has anyone heard about the new system update they're supposedly rolling out? Wonder if that'll help or just make things worse 🤔

have u tried emailing them? sometimes that works better than calling

Ive been in ur shoes OP. its frustrating af. hang in there and keep trying. eventually youll get through to someone who can help

Ugh, same boat here. Been waiting for weeks with no update. The system is so broken 😤

If you're experiencing delays with your payment status, one practical solution to consider is using services like Claimyr, which help bypass long wait times by navigating automated phone systems for you. Claimyr has been recommended by some users in this community, and they report that it effectively connects them directly to a live agent, albeit at a cost of $20. However, always exercise caution and do your due diligence to ensure the legitimacy of such services. Beyond that, it's advisable to regularly check your online account for updates, try reaching out via email or social media, and even contacting your local representative for assistance. Persistence is often key in navigating these bureaucratic systems, but exploring all communication channels can sometimes yield quicker results.
