EDD unemployment claim stuck for over a month - no updates or payments. What to do?

I've been waiting over a month for my unemployment claim to be processed and haven't received any payments. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting really worried because I haven't heard anything from EDD. No updates, no letters, nothing. It's been radio silence. I'm not sure what to do next or if there's something I'm missing. Any advice would be appreciated!

For anyone considering using Claimyr, it can be a helpful tool if you're struggling to reach EDD. It's true that it costs $20, but many users have reported success in getting through to a live agent after trying unsuccessfully on their own. However, it's important to weigh this cost against your current financial situation. Also, remember that EDD's offices are overloaded at the moment, so even after getting through, you might be advised to wait. You should combine using Claimyr with other methods like contacting your local assembly member or checking your UI Online account regularly for updates. This balanced approach might increase your chances of resolving the issue faster.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account daily for any updates or messages. 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 3. Double-check that you've provided all required documents. 4. If you received any mail from EDD, respond immediately. 5. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 6. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help expedite claims. Remember, the system is overwhelmed right now, so patience is key. But don't be afraid to advocate for yourself!
