EDD payment stopped since Nov 7 - no updates on claim status. Help!

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdInE0WD2yc

Ugh, I feel you. I was in the same boat last month. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare getting through, but it's the only way I got answers.

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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there's a flag on your claim that needs to be addressed. It could be something simple like needing to verify your identity.

This is getting ridiculous. The system is so broken. I've been waiting since October for a resolution on my claim. It's like they don't even care that people are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table. 😡

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research: 1. Check your online account for any pending tasks or messages. 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 3. If you've had any change in income, even temporary, report it immediately. 4. Try calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon - those tend to be less busy times. 5. If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a message through the online portal. 6. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what was said. 7. If all else fails, contact your local state representative or senator's office. They often have liaisons who can help with unemployment issues. Hang in there, OP. The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off.

lol welcome to the club 🤡 been waiting since september. EDD is a joke

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but it worked for me when I couldn't get through on the phone.
