EDD payment issues - Need advice on callbacks and getting through to a rep

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmDaDm6DJo

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is such a mess rn. I've been dealing with payment issues for weeks now. Have you tried calling them directly? It's a nightmare, but sometimes you can get through if you keep trying.

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

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: • First, don't pay for another callback yet. You're still within the 48-hour window, so you should be able to get another attempt without extra cost. • Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates, times, and any reference numbers. • Check your online account for any updates or messages. Sometimes they'll post important info there that might explain the payment delay. • If you can't get through by phone, try reaching out via social media. EDD has Twitter and Facebook accounts, and sometimes they respond there. • As a last resort, contact your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can intervene on your behalf with EDD. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing and you'll get your money eventually. Good luck!

have you checked your spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there and you miss important updates

This whole system is rigged against us, I swear. They make it so hard to get what we're owed. Hang in there OP, we're all in the same sinking boat 🚢

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school, but I actually got a response that way last month when nothing else was working
