EDD claim not approved, no payments received. What to do?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat a few months ago. It took forever to get my claim approved. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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

Have you checked your online account for any updates or messages? Sometimes they need additional info but don't always contact you directly about it.

bruh the EDD is a joke rn 🤡 good luck getting anything done quickly

I've been dealing with unemployment issues for months now, so I feel your frustration. Here's what I've learned: • Be persistent with calling. It sucks, but sometimes it's the only way. • Check your online account daily for updates or requests for information. • Make sure all your documentation is in order and easily accessible. • Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things along. • Join Facebook groups or other online communities for your state's unemployment. Sometimes you can get good tips or heads up about system issues. • Document everything. Keep a log of when you call, who you talk to, and what they say. • If you're really struggling financially, look into local food banks or assistance programs while you wait. Hang in there. I know it's tough, but keep at it. The system is overwhelmed right now, but your claim will get processed eventually.

have u tried faxing ur docs? sounds old school but I heard it can help speed things up sometimes

Just wanted to say hang in there. I know how stressful this can be. Sending good vibes your way ❤️
