EDD payment delay after submitting all paperwork - need help ASAP!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. I've submitted all my paperwork but there's a delay in getting my payment. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to resolve it quickly? I really need this money soon.

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? That's what I did, but it took forever to get through.

Calling is a nightmare šŸ˜« I spent 3 hours on hold yesterday and then got disconnected!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through in 20 minutes that way.

I found a method to 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. Is this legit?

Has anyone else tried this? $20 seems steep...

I get the skepticism, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

Here's what I've learned from my experience with EDD delays: ā€¢ Double-check all your paperwork for errors. Even small mistakes can cause delays. ā€¢ If you haven't already, set up an online account. It's easier to track your claim status. ā€¢ Be persistent with calling. Early morning or late afternoon tend to have shorter wait times. ā€¢ If you're really stuck, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. ā€¢ Keep detailed records of all your interactions with EDD. ā€¢ Check if there are any pending questions or certifications in your account. Hope this helps! Hang in there, the system is overwhelmed but they'll get to you eventually.

Great advice! I'd add: make sure your mailing address is up to date. I missed important mail because of this šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a identity verification issue I didn't know about. Check your EDD inbox, they might have sent you a message about additional required documents.

Calm down, Karen. They're doing their best with limited resources.
