EDD payments not processing & forms needed for benefits continuation - Help!

I found a way to solve unemployment benefits payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKBx9gpw9JU

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last month. Have you tried calling the EDD office? It's a nightmare to get through, but it's the only way I finally got my issue resolved.

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 online account? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional info that don't get sent by mail. Worth a shot if you haven't already!

This is why we need serious reform in the unemployment system. It's a joke that people have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits they're entitled to. 😤

Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates and times. 2. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can escalate your case. 3. Be persistent with calling. Use auto-dialers if you can. 4. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 5. If you're really stuck, consider seeking help from a legal aid organization that specializes in unemployment issues. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where nothing makes sense and the rules change daily

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point.
