Payment issues with EDD - delayed or incorrect amounts. Help!

Ugh, I feel you. I've been dealing with payment issues for weeks now. Have you tried calling the office? It's a nightmare to get through, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

I found a method 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there are messages or updates there that explain payment delays or issues. It's worth a look if you haven't already.

I've been in the same boat. turns out they had my bank info wrong 🤦‍♂️ Double-check all your personal details in the system, could be a simple fix!

The whole system is broken af. I've been waiting on backpay for 3 months now. No one seems to know what's going on. It's like they're playing games with our lives 🤬

Here's what I've learned after dealing with payment issues for the past 6 months: • Always document everything. Keep a log of who you talked to, when, and what they said. • Check your online account daily for updates or new messages. • If you can't get through on the phone, try emailing. Sometimes they respond faster that way. • Double-check all your personal info and make sure it's up to date. • If you're really stuck, reach out to your local representative or ombudsman. • Join Facebook groups or forums specific to your state's unemployment system. Sometimes you can get insider tips there. • Be persistent but polite. The people on the other end are often overworked and dealing with a broken system too. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

anyone else notice how the payment amounts seem to change randomly? like one week its correct, the next its off by $50. makes no sense smh

LPT: Set up direct deposit if you haven't already. It's usually faster and more reliable than waiting for a check in the mail.

I'm so done with this. Thinking about just giving up and finding a job, any job at this point. The stress isn't worth it anymore.
