Payment delay from EDD - haven't received it yet. What to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my payment. It's been a while and I still haven't received it. Anyone else dealing with this? Any ideas on what I should do?

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting for my payment for weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them?

Yeah, I've tried calling but can never get through. It's like they don't want us to reach them 🙄

Same here. I've spent hours on hold and still nothing. This system is broken af

It's ridiculous. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get what we're owed!

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? That's a lot just to talk to someone. The system is so messed up 😤

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

Interesting. How long did you have to wait once they called you back?

It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to sit by the phone. They just called me when an agent was ready. Way better than being on hold forever

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there's info there about payment status that might help

I've been in the same boat. What worked for me was sending a message through the online portal. Took a few days, but I finally got a response and my payment issue was resolved.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try. How long did it take for them to respond to your message?

It took about 5 business days. Not quick, but better than nothing!

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. If possible, visit a local office in person. Sometimes face-to-face works better. 4. Reach out to your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. 5. Be persistent but polite. The people on the phone aren't responsible for the delays. 6. Double-check that all your information is correct and up-to-date. 7. If you're really stuck, consider using a paid service like the one mentioned earlier to get through. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. 💪

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on Facebook can get a quicker response.
