EDD payment delayed for a month - need advice ASAP!

Man, I feel you. I was in the same boat last year. Have you tried calling EDD? Sometimes talking to an agent can help move things along.

Hey, I found a method 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.

Have you checked your EDD account online? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional info that can hold up your claim.

ugh the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting 6 weeks for my claim to process. Apparently there's a huge backlog because of all the fraud last year. Hang in there, hopefully we'll all get paid soon! 🤞

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates and times. 2. Check your online account daily for any updates or requests for information. 3. If you haven't already, file an appeal. This can sometimes trigger a review of your claim. 4. Contact your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help push claims through. 5. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for EDD claimants. Sometimes you can get insider tips or hear about system updates. 6. If all else fails, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to get through to an agent. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that works better than uploading online. old school ftw lol

I'm sorry you're going through this. The waiting game is the worst. Make sure you're certifying for benefits every two weeks even if you're not getting paid yet. And don't lose hope!

Plot twist: what if we all showed up at the EDD office with pitchforks and torches? 🔥 Jk jk... unless? 👀

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough, but try to stay busy while you wait. Maybe pick up a side gig or learn a new skill? It helped me stay sane during my unemployment saga.
