EDD disability payment missing - no notification, what to do?

Ugh, that sucks. I've been there before. Have you tried calling EDD directly? Sometimes they can give you more info over the phone.

Check your online account if you haven't already. Sometimes there are messages or updates there that don't get sent out as notifications.

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your online account for any messages or status updates 2. Make sure all your paperwork is up to date (sometimes they need additional docs) 3. Try calling first thing in the morning when they open 4. If you can't get through, consider using a call-back service (there's one mentioned in another comment) 5. Reach out to your local assembly member's office - they can sometimes help push things through 6. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD 7. Check your bank account info is correct in the system Hang in there! The system is frustrating but don't give up. 💪

have u checked ur mail? sometimes they send letters explaing why payments r delayed. happened to me last month

EDD is such a joke these days. I swear they're trying to make it as difficult as possible to get our money. 🤡

Anyone else notice that these issues seem to happen more at the end of the quarter? Wonder if it's a budget thing 🤔

OP, if you're really in a bind, reach out to local charities or churches. Some offer emergency assistance while you're sorting out government benefits. Helped me stay afloat last year.

guys i heard theres a new law coming that's supposed to make edd more efficient. anyone know anything about this?

I had the exact same issue a few months back - payment just vanished without any warning. Turned out there was a glitch in their system that affected a bunch of people. What finally worked for me was filing a complaint through the California State Disability Insurance (SDI) website AND contacting my state assemblyperson's office. The assemblyperson's office got me connected with someone at EDD within 48 hours. Also keep checking your online account obsessively - sometimes status changes appear there before anywhere else. Don't lose hope, just be persistent! 🙏
