EDD missing 2 weeks of payments, no notice - what to do?

Ugh, that sucks. I've been there before. When you get through to EDD (which is a nightmare in itself), make sure you ask them to check your account for any flags or issues. Sometimes they put a hold on payments without telling you why. 🙄

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. Document everything. Write down the dates of your missing payments. 2. Check your UI Online account for any messages or notices you might have missed. 3. When you call, be polite but firm. Explain that you're missing 2 weeks of payments and haven't received any explanation. 4. Ask them to check for any flags or holds on your account. 5. If they can't resolve it immediately, ask for a callback from a tier 2 specialist. 6. Get the name and ID number of everyone you talk to. 7. If they can't help, ask about filing an appeal. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! Good luck! 💪

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🤡 but srsly, hope you get it sorted out OP

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in the system. I missed a important letter once cuz I forgot to update my address after moving.

I'm in the same boat, been waiting on 3 weeks of payments. This whole system is a joke. We need to organize and demand better treatment!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I usually have better luck getting through early in the morning. Also, Wednesdays seem to be less busy for some reason.
