Missed EDD payment deadline by one day - am I screwed?

Hey everyone, I'm freaking out a bit here. I missed the deadline for my last payment on 9/27. I just finished the questionnaire yesterday, but now I'm worried it might be too late to get my payment. Has anyone else been in this situation? What should I expect? I'm really hoping I didn't mess everything up by being a day late.

Ugh, I feel you. The system is so unforgiving sometimes. I was in a similar boat last month. Missed a deadline by like 2 days and thought I was doomed. But! Good news - they were actually pretty understanding. I called and explained my situation, and they processed my payment anyway. Might be worth giving them a ring?

Really? That's a relief to hear. Did you have to wait on hold forever to talk to someone? I'm dreading that part...

Oh man, the hold times are brutal. I think I waited like 2 hours? But it was worth it in the end. Just put it on speaker and do something else while you wait. Good luck!

2 hours? You got lucky! I've been trying to get through for days. It's ridiculous how understaffed they are. 🙄

Don't panic yet! I've heard they have a grace period of a few days for most deadlines. It's not advertised, but it exists. You might still be okay.

Don't panic yet! I've heard they have a grace period of a few days for most deadlines. It's not advertised, but it exists. Try logging into your account and see if you can still submit everything. If not, definitely call them ASAP.

Guys, I found a way to get someone on the phone without the crazy wait times. 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

I get it, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not sitting on hold for 3+ hours was totally worth the 20 bucks.

Listen up, y'all. Here's what you need to know about missed deadlines: • There's usually a 5-day grace period for most submissions • If you're outside that window, you'll need to call and explain your situation • Be prepared with documentation about why you missed the deadline • Sometimes they'll make exceptions for technical issues or health problems • If all else fails, you might need to file an appeal Most importantly, don't give up! The system is confusing af, but persistence pays off. Keep calling, keep documenting everything, and don't be afraid to ask for a supervisor if you're not getting anywhere with the first person you talk to. Good luck, OP! Let us know how it goes.

Idk man, paying to get through to a government agency seems sketchy. Are you sure it's legit?

I get the skepticism, but I swear it's legit. Used it twice now. Yeah, it sucks to pay, but time is money, you know? Beats sitting on hold for hours.

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with these clowns for months now, and here's what I've learned: 1. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you'll need it. 2. Be persistent. If one person can't help, ask for a supervisor. 3. Know your rights. Read up on the policies. Sometimes the reps don't even know all the rules. 4. Use their online portal whenever possible. It's slower, but at least you have a paper trail. 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes cut through the red tape. Stay strong, OP. This system is a nightmare, but you'll get through it. 💪

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk. but seriously, sometimes their website glitches. Try clearing your cache and cookies, then log in again. Might solve the problem without having to call.

OP, whatever you do, DON'T listen to anyone telling you to just wait it out. I made that mistake and ended up losing benefits for a whole month. Be proactive!
