EDD payment delayed for weeks, no callback. Help!

I've been waiting for my EDD payment for weeks now and I'm getting really frustrated. They told me I'd get a call today but nothing yet. Has anyone else had this problem? How long did it take for you to get paid? I'm in California and it's already past 8 AM. I'm worried I won't be able to pay my bills if this keeps up.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last month. It took me calling every single day for two weeks straight to finally get through. Keep trying, don't give up!

Yeah, I tried everything. Early morning, late afternoon, even during lunch. It's just luck of the draw tbh

I found a method that actually works 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

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

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous, we shouldn't have to pay for basic service πŸ™„

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. After weeks of trying, I was desperate enough to try anything. It's worth it if you're in a tough spot

It took about 2 hours, but I just went about my day and got a call when an agent was ready. Way better than being stuck on hold all day

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes they update info there before calling. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date!

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged. They make it impossible to get help on purpose. Wake up sheeple! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Here's what you need to do to get your EDD payment: 1. Check your UI Online account daily for updates 2. Make sure all your certifications are completed on time 3. Double-check that your contact info is correct 4. If you have any pending issues, upload any requested documents ASAP 5. Try calling early in the morning, right when they open 6. If you can't get through, keep trying different times throughout the day 7. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really stuck 8. Reach out to your local assembly member's office for help 9. Join Facebook groups or forums for more tips and support 10. Document everything in case you need to appeal Stay persistent and don't give up. The system is overwhelmed, but you'll get through eventually!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but it worked for me when nothing else did!

Anybody else notice that EDD seems to be working better lately? I got through last week after only an hour on hold. Maybe there's hope?
