EDD payment missing, no updates online. What to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my EDD payment. It's been missing for a while now and I can't seem to get any resolution. I've checked my online account but there's no update on the payment status. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what to say when I finally get through to an agent?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat for weeks now. It's so frustrating when you're counting on that money and it just... disappears into the void. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare getting through, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

Yeah, I've been trying to call but no luck so far. It's like playing the lottery, except the prize is just talking to a human being 🙄

Pro tip: call right when they open. I mean RIGHT when they open. Set an alarm and everything. It's still a pain, but your chances are way better.

When you do get through to an agent, make sure to ask them to verify your payment status and check for any issues. Sometimes there's a hold on the account that they can easily remove. Also, ask if there's any additional information or documents they need from you. Good luck!

I found a method 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. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

I was skeptical at first too, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

$20 just to talk to someone? The system is so broken 🤦♂️

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there and you might miss important updates. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in your account. I've heard stories of people missing payments because EDD couldn't reach them.

Good idea, I'll double-check my spam folder. My contact info should be current, but I'll verify that too. Thanks!

Okay, listen up folks. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to know: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you certified, when payments were supposed to come, and any communication with EDD. 2. Check your UI Online account daily. Sometimes issues pop up there before you get notified. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting them through UI Online or even snail mail. Yes, it's slow, but it creates a paper trail. 4. Reach out to your local assembly member's office. They often have dedicated staff to help with EDD issues and can sometimes get things moving faster. 5. Be persistent but polite when you do get through. The person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too. 6. If all else fails, file an appeal. It's a hassle, but it can get results when nothing else works. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing. You'll get your money eventually. Hang in there! 💪

Contacting my assembly member was a game-changer for me. Highly recommend this approach!

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? 🤔 spend hours on hold just to be told to check the website, check the website to be told to call... its a never-ending cycle of bureaucratic nonsense

Hey OP, any update? Did you manage to get through or figure out what's going on with your payment?
