EDD payment delay after submitting continuous eligibility questionnaire - what to do?

I just filled out my continuous eligibility questionnaire for unemployment and I'm supposed to get paid today, but there's no update on my phone. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do when I call them?

Ugh, I've been there. The system is so frustrating! Here's what I'd suggest: • Have all your claim details ready before you call • Ask them specifically about any issues with your recent submission • Get a timeline for when you can expect payment Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

This is solid advice. I'd add: write down the name of who you talk to and get a reference number for the call. It helps if you need to follow up later.

Hey, 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20? That's steep. Is it really worth it?

I get the skepticism, but for me it was totally worth it. Saved me hours of frustration and got my issue resolved. Your mileage may vary tho 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.

I did this! It actually helped. Took about 2 weeks, but they got things moving for me.

Pro tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I've had better luck getting through that way.

This! Also, avoid Mondays if possible. Always the busiest day.
