EDD payment delayed 6 weeks, no updates. What to do?

Ugh, I feel ya. The system is such a mess rn. When was ur last payment? That might help figure out whats going on

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

Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD.

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's a joke that people have to wait this long for their benefits. 🤬

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. Try different times of day. 2. Check your online account daily for updates or new messages. 3. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 4. If you get through, ask for a tier 2 specialist if the first person can't help. 5. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what they said. 6. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member or state senator for help. 7. If you're really desperate, that claimyr service someone mentioned might be worth a shot. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks but don't give up!

idk if this helps but I was in the same boat last month. Turns out there was an identity verification issue I didn't know about. Might be worth checking if that's holding things up for you too.
