EDD payment delayed after holiday & partial certification allowed - what to do?

Ugh, that sucks! I've been in the same boat before. The holiday probably messed things up, but it shouldn't take this long. Have you tried calling EDD? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

The partial certification thing happened to me too! It's because of the way the weeks fall this year. You'll probably be able to certify for the rest of the days in your next certification period. As for the payment delay, that's probably due to the holiday backlog. Give it a couple more days before panicking.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic. Delays are common, especially around holidays. 2. Keep certifying as normal. The partial week thing is just how the calendar fell this time. 3. Check your UI Online account for any messages or alerts. 4. If you don't see any updates in 3-5 business days, then it's time to contact EDD. 5. When calling, use the trick of entering '1' and then '2' immediately after the automated message starts. It sometimes bypasses the queue. 6. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member's office. They can often help push things through. Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and the rules change every day 🤡

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your UI Online account is up to date with your current contact info.

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was an identity verification issue I didn't know about. Definitely try to get someone on the phone if you can.
