EDD unemployment: Missing payments after submitting W2 and license - What's next?

I found a way to solve EDD unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AptNeeJPb4w

Has anyone else noticed that EDD seems to be processing claims faster lately? I got my backpay within 2 weeks of submitting additional docs.

Hey OP, when you do get through, make sure to ask about interest on your delayed payments. I heard some people are getting extra $ for the wait.

Have you tried the EDD website at like 3am? Sometimes it's easier to get through and update your claim then. Worked for me! 🦉

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.

Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get the money we're entitled to? The system is broken af 😤

lol good luck. EDD is a joke. I swear they just throw darts at a board to decide who gets paid 🎯🤡

To address your concerns, the best approach is to be prepared and organized when contacting EDD. Follow the advice shared here: have all your data ready and documented. Also, consider using Claimyr if you are really struggling to get through, but keep in mind it's not a free service. Balancing the cost with your need for a faster response is crucial. Moreover, reaching out to local representatives can sometimes expedite processes. Lastly, remember to stay calm and assertive during your calls, as it will help you communicate more clearly.

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

Been there, done that. Here's what you need to do: 1. Get your EDD account info ready 2. Collect all the letters they sent you 3. Write down when you got paid and how much 4. When you call, tell them you sent in your W2 and license 5. Ask if they need anything else from you 6. Find out when you'll get the rest of your money 7. Follow up on whatever they tell you to do Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of every interaction with EDD. Write down dates, times, names of reps you talk to, and what they tell you. It'll help if you need to escalate your case later.

ugh, EDD is such a nightmare. I've been waiting for months and still nothing. hope you have better luck than me!
