EDD benefit payments suddenly stopped - no explanation on account. What to do?

Ugh, I feel you. This happened to me last month. Have you tried calling the EDD? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Check your mail! Sometimes they send important notices through snail mail instead of updating the online portal. I missed a deadline because of this 🤦‍♂️

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your certification dates. Make sure you haven't missed any. 2. Look for any pending identity verification requests. They sometimes freeze payments for this. 3. Check if your benefit year has ended. You might need to file a new claim. 4. Review your last few payments. Any overpayments could cause a stop. 5. Check your email spam folder for any missed communications. 6. If all else fails, keep calling. Use the trick of pressing 1 for Spanish then 0 for English - sometimes gets you through faster. Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess but you'll figure it out!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk. but srsly, sometimes logging out and back in to ur account can show new info

I'm in the same boat. Been 3 weeks with no payment and no explanation. This system is broken af 😤

Anyone else notice that this always seems to happen right when rent is due? 🤔 Coincidence? I think not!

Hey OP, what was the last thing you did before the payments stopped? Did you report any earnings or change any info on your account?
