EDD unemployment payment delay since June 15 - No updates, what to do?

I haven't received my unemployment money since June 15th. It's been over a month now and I'm getting worried. I've checked my online account but there's no new messages or updates about my payment. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next? I really need this money to pay my bills.

If you haven't received your unemployment benefits since June 15th, it's crucial to act promptly. Claimyr.com provides a practical solution to help you reach an EDD representative. It's a legitimate service, though it costs $20. It saves time and hassle, which could be worth the investment if you've been struggling with phone lines. However, if spending $20 isn't an option or you wish to explore alternatives, ensure your account information is accurate and up-to-date, and check for any requirements or pending certifications. Documenting all your communications and attempts to reach EDD can be helpful for future reference or escalation. Additionally, consider engagement through social media or contacting your local state representative, as they might offer assistance in navigating through the bureaucratic channels. While Claimyr offers a reliable method to reach EDD, it's essential to explore multiple avenues and advocate for yourself rigorously. Remember, many are in the same situation, and sharing your story might lead to collective action for systemic improvements.

Surprisingly, faxing sometimes bypasses automated systems and gets you noticed. Worth a shot!

Have you checked if theres any new requirements or paperwork you need to submit? Sometimes they add new hoops to jump through and don't communicate it well.

Exactly! I missed a new form once and it delayed my payments by weeks. Always good to double-check.

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

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. Saved me days of frustration. The $20 was worth it to finally get my issue resolved.

How long did it take for them to connect you with an agent?

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a flag on my account for potential fraud (it was a mistake). Took forever to clear up. Hope that's not ur issue, but might be worth asking about when u get thru.

Good point! I found several important emails in my spam before. Make sure your profile info matches your ID to avoid discrepancies.

Here's what you need to do to get this resolved: 1. Document everything. Write down the dates of your last payment, any communication you've had with EDD, and any changes in your situation. 2. Check your UI Online account for any pending certifications or requests for information. Sometimes payments get held up because they need additional info. 3. Try to contact EDD through multiple channels. Phone is frustrating, but also try their social media accounts and email. 4. If you can't get through, consider contacting your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can escalate EDD issues. 5. Make sure you're still certifying for benefits every two weeks, even if you're not getting paid. 6. Check if there have been any changes to unemployment programs that might affect your eligibility. 7. As a last resort, you might consider filing an appeal if you believe there's been an error. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but you're entitled to your benefits.

This is great advice. I'd add: keep a record of all your call attempts too. It can help if you need to escalate your case.

Have you tried calling EDD? Sometimes they have issues that don't show up online and you need to talk to a rep directly.

Same boat here. EDD phone lines are a joke. I've tried calling at different times, still no luck.
