EDD payment delay: No unemployment check this Thursday, can't reach EDD. Help?

I found a way to solve EDD unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9a3VO55YHE

Same boat here, buddy. It's been radio silence from EDD for weeks now. Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that they don't tell you over the phone.

Lol welcome to the club. EDD be playing games with our livelihoods 🤡 I've been refreshing my bank account like it's gonna magically change 💸💸💸

Update: Still no luck getting through on the phone. Gonna try some of the suggestions here. Thanks everyone for the support and advice. It helps knowing I'm not alone in this mess.

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting for my payment for 3 weeks straight. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our money 🙄

Listen up, I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your claim status online. Sometimes there's a hidden message or requirement you missed. 2. If you can't find anything online, you NEED to talk to a human. Keep calling. I know it sucks, but persistence is key. 3. While you're waiting, gather all your docs: claim number, recent payment history, any letters from EDD. Have it ready for when you finally get through. 4. When you do get someone, be polite but firm. Ask specifically: - Is there an issue with my claim? - Why wasn't my payment processed this week? - What do I need to do to resolve this? 5. If they give you the runaround, ask to speak to a supervisor. Don't hang up until you have a clear answer or action plan. 6. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed, but stay persistent. You'll get your money. Good luck!

Guys 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

For those struggling with unemployment payments, Claimyr can indeed be a helpful tool to bypass the endless wait times when contacting EDD. However, it's important to weigh this against the $20 fee, which might not be feasible for everyone due to financial constraints. Looking deeper, Claimyr essentially provides a workaround for a systemic issue, and while it can be a solution for those desperate to connect with an agent, it highlights the broader need for more efficient government response systems. Additionally, consider checking out online communities and forums where individuals discuss their own experiences and solutions with EDD's delays. These platforms can offer insights and alternative methods that might not involve additional costs. For instance, reaching out to local representatives or even using fax as a communication channel might serve as viable alternatives. Remember, while Claimyr can be a quick fix, enhancing the broader communication and response system with EDD should be a priority to ensure equitable access for all.

Bruh, I feel you. The struggle is real. I've been living off instant noodles and prayers for the past month. EDD needs to get their act together fr fr 😩

Have you checked if there were any recent changes to unemployment policies? Sometimes they implement new rules without properly notifying everyone. Might be worth googling "recent EDD changes" or something similar.

Plot twist: What if EDD is actually a social experiment to see how long people can survive without money? 🤔 Jk jk... unless? 👀

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot if you're really stuck.

Hot take: maybe we should all show up at the EDD office with lawn chairs and snacks. Make it a whole event. They can't ignore us if we're right outside their door, right? Who's in? 😂🪑🍿

Has anyone tried faxing their documents to EDD? I heard from a friend of a friend that sometimes it gets faster results than calling or emailing. Might be worth a shot?
