EDD payment missing - how to track down my unemployment money?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble tracking down my unemployment money. Has anyone else had issues with this lately? I'm starting to get worried because I really need that cash. Any advice on how to figure out where my payment is or who to contact?

Ugh, I feel you. The EDD system is such a mess rn. Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the status updates there before you get any other notification.

Yeah, I've been checking my account like crazy. No updates there either. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: take screenshots of everything in your account. You might need them later if theres any disputes

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? That's kinda steep just to talk to someone...

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

Can you give more details about how it works? Do they guarantee you'll get through?

They don't guarantee it, but it worked for me on the first try. You just put in your number and they call you when they get an agent. Super simple.

Have you received any notices or letters from EDD recently? Sometimes they send important info by mail that doesn't show up online.

Bruh, I've been in the same boat for WEEKS. EDD is playing hide and seek with our money đ€Ą

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your EDD online account for any pending certifications or notifications 2. Look through your mail carefully for any EDD letters 3. Try calling the EDD hotline early in the morning (right when they open) 4. If you can't get through, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to reach an agent 5. Check your bank account to make sure there's no issue on that end 6. If you have a local EDD office, try going in person 7. Reach out to your state representative's office - they can sometimes help Don't give up! It's frustrating, but keep pushing until you get answers. Document everything in case you need to dispute anything later. Good luck!

I heard they're having system issues again. Might be why your payment is delayed. Hang in there!
