EDD payment delayed after submitting docs - what gives?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment payment. It's been delayed and I'm not sure why. I recently submitted some documents for my claim. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what could be causing the hold-up or what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel ya. The EDD system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Calling is a nightmare tho. I spent 3 hours on hold last week and still got nowhere 😭

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through in like 15 mins doing that!

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

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

20 bucks? Idk man, seems kinda steep just to make a phone call.

I get the skepticism, but it seriously saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

Can you explain more about how it works? Do they give you a specific time to be ready for the call?

Yeah, so you choose the department you need to reach, pay, and then they start calling. When an agent picks up, you get a call on your phone. Super simple!

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional info there that can cause delays if you miss them.

Bruh, the EDD is straight up 🤡 these days. I've been waiting on a payment for 3 weeks now. No rhyme or reason to it 🤷♂️

3 weeks? Amateur hour. Try 2 months 😅

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD payment delays: 1. Check your UI Online account daily for new messages or tasks 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date 3. If you submitted new docs, it can take 10-14 business days for processing 4. Sometimes, calling is the only way to resolve issues 5. Be persistent and don't give up! If none of that works, consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite things with EDD. Hope this helps, and good luck!

The assembly member tip is gold. They helped me resolve a 6-week delay in just 3 days!

Hey OP, any updates? Did you manage to get through to anyone or figure out what's causing the delay?
