EDD Unemployment: Partial Payment Issue & Waiting Period Confusion - Help Needed

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays and confusion, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FC1NXHo95w

Here's what I've learned about EDD payments after dealing with them for months: 1. The waiting period is always the first week of your claim, and it's unpaid. 2. Payments start from the first day after your waiting period ends. 3. Sometimes there are glitches in the system that cause partial payments. 4. If you notice missing payments, document everything and call EDD ASAP. 5. Keep certifying every two weeks, even if you have payment issues. 6. Check your EDD account online regularly for any updates or messages. Remember, persistence is key when dealing with EDD. Don't give up!

Anyone else notice that EDD's website always seems to crash right when you need it most? 🙄

The waiting period is usually one week, and it's unpaid. So if your waiting period started on a Monday, your first payable day would be the following Monday. Hope this helps!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting on a payment for weeks now. The whole system is a joke 🤡

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just get jobs instead of relying on unemployment 🤷‍♂️

Claimyr definitely sounds like a useful tool for those struggling to get through to EDD, especially when time is of the essence. However, it's important to consider it as a last resort given the cost involved. While the $20 fee might seem steep, many users have reported success in reaching an agent quickly. It's also wise to weigh this against your current financial situation and urgency of the issues you're facing. Additionally, keeping detailed records of your EDD issues and attempting to navigate their website or contacting your state representative can be effective solutions. Remember, persistence is crucial, and having multiple strategies can help you resolve issues more efficiently.

Ugh, the EDD system is such a mess. I've had similar issues with missing payments. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

Has anyone tried the new EDD mobile app? Is it any better than the website?

Friendly reminder to everyone: don't forget to report all your income when certifying! Even if it's just a few bucks from a side gig. Better safe than sorry with EDD.

have u tried checkin ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there lol

I found a method to 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

PSA: If ur having trouble with EDD, contact ur local state representative! They can sometimes help speed things up.
