EDD payment sent but showing as 'qualification'? Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my unemployment payment. It says it was electronically sent today, but now it's showing as 'qualification'? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm really confused and worried about not receiving my money.

Ugh, I've been there. The EDD system is such a mess. Have you tried calling them? It might be a glitch in their system.

I've been trying to call all morning but can't get through. It's so frustrating! 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week.

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?

Yeah, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take for them to call you back?

It took about 2 hours for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still way better than trying to call yourself!

This happened to me last month. Turns out they needed additional info to verify my identity. Check your online account for any new messages or tasks they might have added.

The EDD system is such a joke. They need to get there act together and fix this mess. We're all struggling here and they cant even get payments right smh

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account for any new messages or tasks. 2. If you see nothing there, try to contact EDD through their online messaging system. 3. If that doesn't work, you'll need to call. Use the trick someone mentioned above about calling right when they open. 4. If you still can't get through, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to get a callback. 5. While waiting, make sure all your certifications are up to date. 6. Document everything - dates, times, and what the system is showing. 7. If it goes on for more than a week, consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on a payment for 3 weeks now. This whole system is a dumpster fire 🔥
