Late payments from EDD two months in a row - anyone else?

Has anyone else been experiencing late payments lately? This is the second time in a row my payment has been delayed and I'm starting to get worried. I rely on these checks to pay my bills and I'm not sure why this keeps happening. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix it?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My last two payments have been super late too. It's so frustrating not knowing when the money will actually show up. Have you tried calling them to ask what's going on?

I've tried calling but can never get through. It's like their phone lines are always jammed 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. Sometimes you can get through if you're one of the first callers of the day.

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 too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous, we shouldn't have to pay for basic customer service 🙄

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me so much time and stress. Worth every penny for me.

How long did you have to wait on hold?

The service did all the waiting for me. I just got a call when an agent was ready to talk. Took about 2 hours total, but I didn't have to listen to hold music the whole time.

I've heard there's been some issues with their payment processing system lately. Apparently they're working on fixing it, but who knows how long that'll take 🙄

This is getting ridiculous. How are we supposed to survive when we can't count on our payments coming on time? The whole system is broken 😡

Preach! 🙌 It's like they don't even care that people are relying on this money to eat and keep a roof over their heads.

Maybe we should organize some kind of protest or petition. This isn't okay.

Here's what I've learned about the late payment issue after dealing with it for months: • The delays are often caused by system glitches or high volume of claims • Sometimes it's due to additional verification needed on your account • If you haven't received payment after 10 business days, definitely try to contact them • Check your claim status online regularly for any updates or notices • Make sure all your information is up to date in the system • If you're really struggling, reach out to local non-profits for temporary assistance Hope this helps someone! Hang in there, everyone. We're all in this together. 💪

Great advice. I'd add that sometimes calling your local representative's office can help too. They might be able to escalate your case.

This is why we need universal basic income. The current system is clearly not working. 🤔

Lol yeah cause giving the government MORE control over our money will totally fix everything 🙄

It's not about control, it's about ensuring everyone has their basic needs met. But go off I guess 🤷‍♂️
