EDD unemployment claim approved but no payments received - What to do?

LMAO too real. I'm the clown who checks my account 50 times a day hoping for $$$

EDD more like EDDiot am I right? 🥁

The lack of clarity and communication really adds to the circus vibe.

Yeah, I've been trying to call for days but can't get through. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 45 minutes on hold that way.

I've heard some people recommend using a different phone number or a different phone service to call. Sometimes EDD's system prioritizes certain numbers.

Great point! Sometimes community resources can provide guidance on other free methods to get in touch with EDD.

I used the Ask EDD portal too! It took a while, but it was less stressful than being on hold for hours.

Sounds sketchy. Is it legit?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous!

I know it sounds weird, but I swear it worked for me. Got through in like an hour.

How does it work exactly? Do they give you a specific time to be ready?

Claimyr actually has some testimonials that suggest it works for a lot of people. However, it might not be for everyone, so it's good to weigh the cost against your urgency.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! I'll definitely try contacting my rep.

This is gold 💯 Wish I had known this when I was dealing with EDD last year!

The local rep thing is key. My cousin got her issue resolved in 2 days after months of nothing.

Also, make sure your address on file is correct. EDD sometimes sends important info through physical mail.

This sums it up perfectly! But remember, patience and persistence can eventually pay off.

Link? I haven't seen anything about this.

Here ya go: [insert fake link]. It's still in committee tho, so don't hold your breath.

It seems like they always have bills in motion but nothing ever gets implemented fast enough to make a difference.

For real? What's their handle?

@CA_EDD - give it a shot! Can't hurt, right?

Social media can be powerful, but it can also be hit or miss depending on how backed up their team is.

Have you checked your EDD account online? Sometimes there's info there that can help.

Yeah, I check it like 10 times a day lol. Nothing new ever shows up tho 😭

Have you tried checking under different tabs? Sometimes new messages can be under different categories like 'Inbox' or 'Notifications'.

Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, might give it a shot. Desperate times...

OMG I totally forgot faxing was a thing. My grandma would be proud 👵

I actually had a friend who resolved their issue that way. EDD seems to respond to faxes when they get overwhelmed with calls.
