EDD payment delay: No payment for 3+ weeks after doc submitted supplemental cert. What to do?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is such a mess rn. Have you tried logging into your online account to see if there's any updates? Sometimes they don't notify you about stuff.

Three weeks is way too long! You need to get on the phone with them ASAP. I found a way to actually get through to a real person. There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when an agent picks up. It costs $20 but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check that your doctor actually sent the certification. Sometimes they say they did but didn't. 2. Call EDD first thing in the morning, right when they open. That's your best shot at getting through. 3. If you can't get through, try the online contact form. Be super detailed about your situation. 4. Keep certifying for benefits even if you're not getting paid. This keeps your claim active. 5. Check your spam folder for any EDD emails you might have missed. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! The system is slow but it usually works out eventually.

have you tried faxing the certification? sometimes that works better than waiting for the doc to send it in. just a thought 🤷‍♂️

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my account got flagged for no reason. Took forever to sort out. Keep pushing them!

idk man, the whole system is rigged against us. they make it so hard on purpose so people just give up. its bs

Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation number when your doc submitted the cert? Might be helpful to have that when you call.
