EDD claim stuck in 'pending processing' for 3+ weeks - any advice?

Ugh, I feel ya. Been in the same boat for over a month now. It's like they're purposely making us wait forever 🙄

I actually found a way to get someone on the phone. 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 I've learned after dealing with this for months: • 'Pending processing' can mean a lot of things. Could be identity verification, wage audit, or just backlog. • If it's been more than 3 weeks, definitely try to contact them. • Check your online account for any messages or requests for additional info. • Sometimes calling your local assemblyperson's office can help speed things up. • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online message. • Be patient but persistent. The system is overwhelmed rn. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together 💪

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get what we're owed? system is broken af

Have you checked your spam folder? I found out they'd been trying to contact me for weeks but everything was going to spam 🤦‍♂️

Guys I finaly got through!!! After 5 weeks of pending, I called non-stop for 2 days and finaly spoke to someone. They fixed it on the spot. Don't give up!!! 🎉🎉🎉
