EDD final payment MIA - submitted docs, got claim number, but no confirmation. Help!

Ugh, classic EDD. They're always dropping the ball. I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that'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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account for any pending tasks or messages. 2. If nothing there, send a secure message through the portal asking about the status of your final payment. 3. If no response in 5-7 business days, try calling. 4. If you can't get through, consider contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite EDD issues. 5. Document everything - dates you submitted docs, claim number, any communication attempts. Remember, persistence is key with EDD. Don't give up!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there for sum reason

I'm in the same boat, buddy. Been waiting on my final payment for almost a month now. EDD is a joke. 🤡

Quick question - did you certify for your final weeks? Sometimes people forget that step and it holds up the whole process.

Hot take: the whole unemployment system needs an overhaul. It's not equipped to handle modern work situations, especially with all the gig economy stuff. We're trying to use a 1930s system in 2023. No wonder it's always breaking down.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue and it turned out there was a flag on my account for potential overpayment. Took forever to sort out. Might be worth asking if there's any flags or holds when you get through to someone.

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes the website updates before you get an email.

Plot twist: what if EDD is actually run by squirrels and that's why everything takes so long? 🐿️
