No EDD payment since July 11th - What to do when calling CA SDI?

I found a way to solve EDD payment delays quickly, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gxRglvvan8

OP, here's a comprehensive guide to dealing with EDD payment delays: 1. Check your UI Online account daily for updates or new messages. 2. Review all mail from EDD carefully - sometimes important info is easy to miss. 3. Prepare a script before calling: - Introduce yourself and provide your claim number - Explain the issue concisely - Ask if there are any holds or pending issues on your account - Request specific next steps 4. Be persistent but polite when calling. The first rep might not have all the answers. 5. Document everything: who you spoke to, when, and what they said. 6. If calling fails, try these alternatives: - Use the UI Online messaging system - Contact your local assembly member or state senator - Check if there are any EDD office hours or events in your area 7. Stay on top of your certifications even if payments are delayed. 8. Join Facebook groups or subreddits for CA unemployment - sometimes you can get good tips there. Remember, the system is overwhelmed, but don't give up. You'll get your money eventually!

Ugh, I feel you. I was in the same boat last month. Here's what worked for me: 1. Call early in the morning, like right when they open 2. Have all your info ready - claim number, last payment date, etc. 3. Ask them to check for any flags or holds on your account 4. If they can't help, politely ask to speak to a tier 2 rep Good luck!

Hey OP, make sure you're still certifying every two weeks even if you're not getting paid. It'll make things easier when they finally fix your account.

have you checked your ui online account? sometimes there's info there that they don't send in the mail

Anyone else notice that EDD problems always seem to spike around the end of the quarter? 🤔 Conspiracy theory time...

Have you checked if there's been any changes to eligibility requirements? Sometimes they update stuff and don't tell anyone 🙄

This happened to me too! Turns out there was an identity verification issue that they never told me about. Definitely call and ask if there are any pending issues on your account.

For anyone considering using Claimyr, while it is a valid service, keep in mind that it is not officially endorsed by any government agency. Always exhaust other free resources first and weigh the cost benefit.

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD issues.

This is why we need universal basic income. This system is broken af

lol welcome to the club 🙃 been waiting on payments since May. EDD is a dumpster fire rn

I heard they're doing a system upgrade soon. Might be causing delays. Hang in there!

Another tip: keep a record of any communication or attempt to communicate with EDD. A timeline of your efforts can be helpful if you need to escalate the situation.

I found a way to 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

Unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for a job instead of relying on unemployment? 🤷‍♂️

pro tip: if u get a rep who seems clueless, politely hang up and call again. some reps are way more helpful than others

bruh the EDD is such a joke 🤡 they need to get their act together fr
