EDD partial payment issue - what to do when they don't pay full amount?

Has anyone else had issues with EDD not giving you all the payment they owe? I just got a partial payment and I'm not sure what to do. This is so frustrating! Any advice on how to handle this?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's like they're playing games with our money. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho 🙄

Pro tip: call right when they open. Sometimes you can get through faster.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does. I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. Got through in about 2 hours.

$20 tho? That's kinda steep when we're already struggling with money...

I get it, but for me it was worth it to finally get some answers. Beats wasting hours trying to call myself.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a record of all your payments, dates, and any communication with EDD. 2. Check your UI Online account for any messages or notices about your claim. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a message through your UI Online account. 4. Consider filing an appeal if you believe the partial payment is an error. 5. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They sometimes can help push things along. 6. If all else fails, you might want to consult with a lawyer who specializes in unemployment issues. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

I swear EDD is run by clowns 🤡 How hard is it to pay people what they're owed?

This happened to me last year. Turns out they were deducting some overpayment from a previous claim. Might be worth checking if that's the case for you too.

Anyone else notice how these issues always seem to pop up right when bills are due? It's like they time it or something 🤔
