EDD unemployment payment delayed over a week - No communication, need advice

Ugh, EDD is such a mess. I swear they're doing this on purpose to make us give up. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho, it's like winning the lottery

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

Same boat here. Its been 2 weeks for me and im freaking out. Rent is due soon and I dont know what to do 😭

Has anyone tried the UI Online messaging system? Sometimes you can get a response there faster than calling

Here's what you need to do when you finally get through to EDD: 1. Stay calm and be polite. The person on the other end isn't responsible for the delay. 2. Clearly explain that you haven't received your payment in over a week. 3. Ask specific questions: - Why hasn't the payment been processed? - Are there any issues with your claim? - Is there any additional information they need from you? 4. Get the name and ID number of the representative you speak with. 5. Ask for a timeframe for when you can expect the payment. 6. If they can't resolve it immediately, ask about escalation procedures. 7. Take detailed notes during the call. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up if you don't get a satisfactory answer the first time. Good luck!

Friendly reminder to everyone: document EVERYTHING. Save screenshots, write down call times and rep names. You never know when you might need it

guys, i think i figured it out. we need to sacrifice a goat under a full moon while chanting "edd plz" three times. works every time 60% of the time 🐐🌕

Bruh, I feel you. EDD be playing games with our lives fr 🤡 I've been waiting 3 weeks now. This system is BROKEN

Regarding Claimyr, has anyone else used it and had a different experience? I'm curious if it's been consistent with helping folks reach EDD.

Maybe try reaching out to your local assemblymember or state senator? I've heard they can sometimes help speed things up with EDD

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes edd emails end up there
