EDD claim stuck in 'pending processing' for weeks - no updates, what to do?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat for like 2 months. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but it's the only way I finally got mine sorted.

Check if there's any missing info or documents they might need. Sometimes they don't tell you and it just sits there. Log into your account and see if there's anything flagged.

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 tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

The whole system is broken af 🤡 I've been waiting 3 months now. Starting to think they're just hoping we'll give up and go away.

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about pending claims: 1. Common reasons for pending status: - Identity verification issues - Employer dispute - Missing or incomplete information - System glitches 2. Steps to take: - Double-check all info in your account - Upload any requested documents ASAP - Contact your former employer to ensure they're not contesting - Keep certifying weekly even if pending 3. Getting help: - Try calling early morning or late afternoon - Use the online contact form (responses can take weeks tho) - Reach out to your state rep or senator - Consider using a paid service to get through phone lines 4. Last resort: - File an appeal if it's been more than 3 weeks - Contact local media if you're truly desperate Hang in there everyone. The system sucks, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a glitch in their system. Try logging out, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in. Magically fixed it for me!
