EDD disability payments 20+ days late AGAIN - anyone else dealing with this?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with the same issue for months now. It's like they don't understand that we rely on these payments to survive. Have you tried calling the EDD office? It's a nightmare to get through, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

I found a method to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. It's worth a shot!

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's absolutely ridiculous. Here's what I've learned: • Document everything. Keep a log of when payments were supposed to arrive and when they actually did. • Send a formal complaint in writing. Use certified mail so you have proof they received it. • If you're really in a bind, reach out to local charities or churches. Some offer emergency assistance. • Join Facebook groups for disability claimants. Sometimes they have insider info on what's causing delays. • Consider contacting a disability rights lawyer if things don't improve. Hang in there, OP. The system is broken, but we're all in this together. 💪

have u checked ur claim status online? sometimes there mite be an issue they havent told u about

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system is a joke. They expect us to live on air while they take their sweet time processing our claims. 🤬

Hey OP, sorry youre going through this. I work in social services (not EDD tho) and heres a tip: sometimes if you mention that youre facing potential homelessness or inability to buy food/medicine due to the delay, it can flag your case for expedited processing. Don't lie, but if this is true for you, make sure to emphasize it.

lol welcome to the club 🎉 been waiting 3 months for my back pay. EDD is a joke

Have you considered reaching out to local news stations? Sometimes public pressure can work wonders. Just a thought!
