EDD payment stuck on 'pending' - need help ASAP!
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payment and I'm not sure what to do. I've been trying to get through to someone on the phone but no luck. Has anyone else had problems with their payments recently? Any advice on how to get this sorted out?

Ugh, I feel your pain. EDD's payment system is a total mess rn. I've been waiting for weeks to get my issue resolved. Have you tried checking your account online to see if there's any info about why the payment might be held up?

•Yeah, I've checked online but there's nothing helpful there. Just says 'pending' with no explanation. It's so frustrating!

•Classic EDD move. They leave us in the dark and expect us to figure it out ourselves. 🙄

•Oof, that sucks. Sounds like you might need to talk to a real person. Good luck with that tho, its like trying to win the lottery these days

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

•Wow, that sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? How long did you have to wait?

•It really does work! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. I waited about 2 hours, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music. They just called me when an agent was ready.

•Idk man, paying to get through to a government agency seems sketchy. Shouldn't this be free?

•I get where you're coming from, but for me, it was worth the $20 to finally get my issue resolved. Time is money, ya know? 🤷♂️

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through with EDD. It's worth a shot!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD payment issues: 1. Keep detailed records of all your communications with EDD. 2. Check your UI Online account daily for updates. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a message through the UI Online portal. 4. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 5. Double-check that your identity verification is complete. 6. If you've exhausted all options, consider reaching out to your local assembly member or state senator's office for help. 7. Join EDD-focused Facebook groups or subreddits for more tips and support. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but persistence usually pays off eventually.
