EDD unemployment appeal delay: No payment after filing wage and benefit amount appeal - What to do?

idk man, maybe it's time to look for a new job? This whole unemployment thing is such a headache

Ugh, I feel your pain. The appeals process is a nightmare. I waited 3 months for mine to go through. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Anyone else feel like they're playing a game of telephone with EDD? 📞🙉🙈🙊

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 tried sending a carrier pigeon with your appeal? Might be faster than waiting for EDD to process it 🕊️😂

Plot twist: what if all the EDD workers are actually robots and that's why nothing ever gets done? 🤖

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's like they want us to give up. Don't let them win! Keep calling and emailing until someone helps you.

Guys, I think we're missing the bigger picture here. The whole system needs an overhaul. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get what we're entitled to. Anyone know if there's any movement to reform this mess?

Pro tip: if you call right when they open, you have a better chance of getting through. Set your alarm early!

lol welcome to the club. EDD is a joke. Good luck getting any real help 🤡

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes public shaming works wonders 😈

Same boat here. It's frustrating how long these things take. Keep pushing and don't give up! 💪

Guys I finally got through!!! After 6 months of waiting. There's hope! Don't give up!

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there without notifying you. Worth a shot!

Hang in there, OP. We're all in this leaky boat together. Hope you get some answers soon!

Hey OP, what exactly was wrong with your wage calculation? I'm wondering if I might have the same issue...

If we're considering the broader picture, reform in how unemployment appeals and claims are processed would be beneficial. But until then, persistence and using the available resources like Claimyr or contacting representatives might help.

While Claimyr seems like a viable solution for some, it's not ideal for everyone due to the cost. Always weigh the benefits versus the costs in your situation.

Has anyone tried going to their local EDD office in person? Wondering if that might help speed things up

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases. Might explain the delay, but doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and attempts to contact EDD. 2. Contact your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help push your case through. 3. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 4. If possible, fax your appeal documents again. Sometimes they 'lose' paperwork. 5. Join Facebook groups for unemployment support. There's often good advice and updates there. 6. Consider reaching out to local legal aid. They might be able to help for free. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!
