EDD delay due to sick pay verification? Need advice on what to say to agent

I found a way to solve sick pay delaying benefits issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDI56iXEQFQ

Ugh, sick pay can be such a headache! 🤕 I had a similar issue last year. Here's what I learned: • Sick pay can definitely cause delays in benefit processing • They might need to verify the amount of sick pay you received • Sometimes they need additional documentation When you call, make sure to: 1. Explain your situation clearly 2. Ask if the sick pay is causing the delay 3. Find out if they need any more documents from you 4. Ask if they can speed up the process Good luck! Let us know how it goes 👍

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 checking your online account? sometimes they post messages there about whats causing delays

Sick pay is the worst! I've been dealing with this for months. They kept saying they needed to 'verify' something but wouldn't tell me what. Keep calling and don't give up!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always have better luck getting through early in the morning.

lol good luck. i've been trying to sort out my benifits for weeks. feels like im talking to a brick wall everytime i call 🧱🤡

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.
