EDD payment never arrived - what to do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling EDD? That's usually the first step, but good luck getting through 🙄

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

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are messages or notices there that explain payment delays.

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was an identity verification issue. Check if you have any pending tasks or forms to fill out in your account.

The EDD system is such a joke. They expect us to live off air while they sort out their mess? 🤡

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account for any pending tasks or messages. 2. Verify your payment method is correct (direct deposit or EDD debit card). 3. If using the debit card, make sure it's activated. 4. Look for any disqualification notices or overpayment issues. 5. Try to contact EDD through their online messaging system. 6. If all else fails, keep calling or use a service to get through to a rep. Remember, sometimes payments can be delayed due to system updates or high volume of claims. If it's been more than 10 business days since your claim was approved, definitely follow up. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite EDD issues.

idk if this helps but I saw on twitter that EDD is having some system maintenance this week. Might be causing delays?

OP, how long has it been since you certified? Sometimes it takes a few days for the payment to process.
