EDD payment delayed after sending paperwork - what to do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been over a month for me and still nothing. The system is so broken 😤

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 checked your online account? Sometimes there's additional info they need that they don't tell you about.

This happened to me last year. Turns out they 'lost' my paperwork and I had to resubmit everything. It's worth double-checking if they received it all correctly.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with this mess for months: 1. Document everything. Keep copies of all paperwork you send in. 2. Check your online account daily for updates or requests. 3. If you can, fax your documents instead of mailing. It's faster and you get a confirmation. 4. Be persistent with calling. Use the trick someone mentioned about calling right when they open. 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes help push things through. 6. Join Facebook groups for your state's unemployment issues. Sometimes you can get insider tips. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process but keep at it!

anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' the paperwork when it's time to pay out? but they never lose the info when it's time for us to pay them 🙄

Hey OP, how long has it been since you sent in your paperwork? There's usually a processing time of a few weeks.
