EDD Timesheet Issues: Payment Delays and System Problems?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my timesheet and payment. Has anyone else run into problems lately? I'm not sure if it's just me or if there's something going on with the system. Any advice would be appreciated!

Ugh, timesheet problems are the worst! What exactly is going on? Are you having trouble submitting it or is it more about the payment not coming through?

Thanks for asking! It's more about the payment. I submitted my timesheet fine, but I'm not seeing any updates on when I'll get paid. It's been radio silence 😕

Ah gotcha. Yeah, that's frustrating. Have you tried calling the helpline? Sometimes they can give you more info than what shows up online.

I've been trying to call all day but can't get through. It's like banging my head against a wall 😫

I feel your pain, OP. The system has been a total mess lately. I had issues last month where my payment was delayed by two weeks! It's ridiculous how they expect us to survive when they can't even get their act together.

Hey, 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

Wow, that sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? $20 seems steep but I guess it's worth it if you actually get through...

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. It actually worked for me! Saved me hours of frustration.

Idk man, sounds like a scam to me. Why should we have to pay to talk to someone about our benefits? The system is broken af 🤡

I get where you're coming from, but it's not a scam. It's just a service that saves time. I'd rather pay $20 than waste a whole day trying to get through, you know?

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with the unemployment system for months now, and I've learned a few tricks. Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and submissions. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Use social media. Sometimes tweeting at the department can get their attention. 4. Contact your local representative. They can often help push things through. 5. Join Facebook groups for unemployment support. There's strength in numbers. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up!

Great advice! I'd add: make sure you're using the correct forms and filling them out completely. One small mistake can delay everything.

Has anyone else noticed that the website is always "under maintenance" when you need it most? It's like they're doing it on purpose to make our lives harder 🙄

Conspiracy theory: they do it on purpose to reduce the number of claims they have to process 🤔

Guys, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on my payment for 3 weeks now. Starting to feel like I'm gonna strike out 😩 Any idea how long the backlog is right now?
