EDD payments stopped since 11/15 - Recertified but still no money. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed in June, payments stopped in December. It's like they just forget about us 🤷‍♂️

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's a flag on your account that needs to be cleared. might explain the delay

This is ridiculous. The EDD is a joke. How are we supposed to survive when they can't even do their job? 🤬

OK, let me break this down for you: 1. First, check your UI Online account for any pending issues or required actions. 2. If nothing there, you need to contact EDD directly. Try calling early in the morning or late afternoon. 3. If you can't get through, consider using an auto-dialer service (some people mentioned one in the comments). 4. Send a message through your UI Online account explaining the situation. 5. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but you'll get your money eventually.

anyone else notice how they always mess up around the holidays? its like clockwork 🙄

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but it worked for me when I had a similar issue last year
