EDD benefits delayed - no payments received yet. What to do?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ceri_d82TY

Ugh, I feel ya. I was in the same boat last month. Have you tried calling EDD? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there's info there about why payments are delayed. Could be identity verification or something.

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

Okay, let me break this down for you. There are a few reasons why your benefits might be delayed: 1. Identity verification issues: EDD has been cracking down on fraud, so they might need additional proof of who you are. 2. Eligibility questions: If there's any doubt about your eligibility, they'll put a hold on payments. 3. Backlog: Sometimes it's just a matter of them being swamped with claims. 4. Technical glitches: The EDD system isn't exactly state-of-the-art. Here's what you can do: - Keep trying to call. It sucks, but it's often the fastest way to resolve issues. - Check your UI Online account daily for any updates or requests for information. - If you received any mail from EDD, respond ASAP. - Consider contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. - As a last resort, you might want to try that calling service someone mentioned earlier. Hang in there. The system is frustrating, but don't give up!

have u tried faxing them? i know it sounds crazy but i got a response within a week after i faxed my info

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged. They make it impossible on purpose so people just give up. 🤬

Guys, I just got my benefits after 2 months of waiting! There's hope! Keep pushing and don't give up!
