EDD funds not released after certifying on 4/4 - anyone else experiencing delays?

Ugh, I feel ya. The EDD system is such a mess rn. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes there's a hold on your account that you don't know about.

Same boat here, certified on 4/3 and still waiting. This is getting ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive when they can't even release funds on time?

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. Check your UI Online account for any pending certifications or notifications. 2. Make sure your identity verification is up to date. 3. If you've had any changes in your situation (like started working part-time), report it ASAP. 4. Try calling early in the morning or late afternoon - those are usually less busy times. 5. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite EDD issues. Hang in there, the system is overwhelmed but they'll get to you eventually!

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes the edd website is slow to update but the $ is already there

ATTENTION EVERYONE: There's a glitch in the EDD system affecting certifications from early April. They're working on fixing it but no ETA. Source: I work in IT and have a friend at EDD.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for work instead of relying on unemployment? There's plenty of jobs out there.

Anyone else notice that ever since they implemented that new ID.me system, everything's been slower? I swear it's causing more problems than it's solving.

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every certification. You never know when you'll need to prove something to EDD.

I'm in the exact same situation! Certified on 4/5 and still nothing. This is so stressful when you're counting on that money for rent and groceries. I've been checking my account obsessively but the status hasn't changed from "pending." Really hoping this gets resolved soon - we shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. Thanks for posting this, at least now I know I'm not alone in this mess.
