EDD unemployment payments delayed without explanation - What to do?

I found a way to solve delayed unemployment payments issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC-cETZ1aEc

Have you tried contacting your local assemblymember or state senator? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

Listen up, here's what you gotta do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you certified, when payments were supposed to come, and when they actually arrived. 2. Call early in the morning. Like, crack of dawn early. You might have better luck getting through. 3. Be persistent. If one rep can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor. 4. Check if there's any new paperwork or verification they need. Sometimes they hold payments for that. 5. If all else fails, reach out to your local assembly member. They can sometimes cut through the red tape. Good luck, and don't give up!

Same boat here, buddy. It's been 3 weeks since my last payment and crickets from EDD. I swear they're playing games with us.

Pro tip: if you press 0 repeatedly during the automated menu, sometimes it'll bump you to a real person faster. Worked for me once!

I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than getting tickets to a Taylor Swift concert. And that's saying something! 🎤🎟️

Yo, 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just get jobs instead of relying on unemployment? Just saying... 🤷‍♂️

Y'all ever think about how much easier this would be if we had universal basic income? Just sayin' 💁‍♀️

Navigating unemployment benefits can be incredibly frustrating, especially with the ongoing challenges of system delays. From my experience, Claimyr has emerged as a reliable solution that helps cut down on wait times when trying to reach EDD. The tool automates the call process and connects you directly to an agent, saving valuable time. However, it's important to recognize that while Claimyr offers a paid service, not everyone may find the cost justifiable, particularly those already facing financial strain. An alternative approach is the conventional route of persistence: early morning calls, thorough documentation, and checking all avenues for necessary verifications. Engaging with your local representatives, as mentioned by others, can also be effective in expediting the process. Combining these strategies can provide a more comprehensive solution to the issue. It's also vital to advocate for systemic improvements within unemployment services to ensure smoother experiences for all.

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always 'under maintenance' when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're allergic to being helpful

I heard a rumor that if you say 'money please' three times while spinning in a circle, Gavin Newsom appears and hands you your benefits. Worth a shot, right? 🤣

I'm telling you, it's a conspiracy. They're holding our money to earn interest. Wake up, sheeple! 👁️👄👁️

Update: I finally got through this morning! Turns out there was a flag on my account for 'additional verification' but they never sent me the notice. They're removing the flag and releasing my payments. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

Does anyone know if there's an EDD support group? Asking for a friend (the friend is me, I'm losing my mind over here) 😅

its probly cuz of all the fraud. my cousin's friend's dog's previous owner got caught filing fake claims and now theyre cracking down on everyone 🙄

have you tried sacraficing a goat to the EDD gods? Might work better than actually calling them 🐐🔪

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is a total nightmare rn. Have you tried checking your account online? Sometimes there's info there that doesn't come through other channels.

guys i just got off the phone with edd and the lady told me mercury is in retrograde and thats why payments are delayed. makes sense tbh 🪐

Seriously tho, has anyone tried reaching out to local news stations about this? Might be worth getting some media attention on how messed up the system is.
