When will EDD issue my next unemployment payment? Need advice on CA disability claim status

Guys, I'm telling you, the secret is to call at exactly 8:01 am on a Tuesday while standing on one foot and reciting the pledge of allegiance backwards. Works every time 60% of the time.

PSA: If anyone's having trouble with their claim, try contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite things with EDD. Worked for me!

I'm in the same boat, buddy. Been trying to figure out my payment schedule for weeks. EDD's about as clear as mud 🤦‍♂️

plot twist: the edd is actually run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels and that's why everything takes so long

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all showed up at the EDD office with pitchforks, they'd finally get their act together 🔱😤

Plot twist: the real unemployment benefit was the friends we made along the way 🤣

yall ever think about how much time and money wed save if edd just had a decent website and actually answered the phone? 🤡

Just a reminder to everyone: take care of your mental health while dealing with this stuff. It's easy to get super stressed, but remember, you're not alone in this. We're all in this together! 💪❤️

Anyone else feel like they need a PhD in bureaucracy just to navigate the EDD system? 🎓🤔

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the payment date is listed there before they actually send it out. Might save you a phone call!

Remember when we thought the pandemic unemployment assistance was gonna be smooth sailing? Good times 🙃

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

have u tried checkin ur mail? sometimes they send important info about payments there instead of online smh

For those considering using Claimyr, while it can be a valuable resource for bypassing long wait times, it's important to weigh the cost against your current situation. The $20 fee can be a hefty price for some, so it's worth attempting other avenues first. Documenting your interactions with EDD, checking online updates, and reaching out to local representatives can often yield results. That said, Claimyr has been praised for its efficiency, and many users find it helpful when they're at their wit's end. Just ensure that this is the best option for your needs before committing to the expense.

Has anyone else noticed that the payment dates have been super inconsistent lately? Used to be like clockwork, now it's all over the place.

Pro tip: Set up direct deposit if you haven't already. It's usually faster than waiting for the debit card to be reloaded.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your EDD account online 2. Check your claim status and payment history 3. Look for any pending certifications or outstanding tasks 4. If everything looks good, your payment should be processed within 24-48 hours after certification 5. If you don't see a payment date, there might be an issue with your claim If you still can't find the info, calling is your best bet. Be prepared with your claim number and any relevant dates. And remember, patience is key when dealing with EDD!

If you already have an EDD debit card, you shouldn't need to order a new one unless it's expired or lost. They usually just reload the same card for each payment cycle.

Hey OP, just a heads up - there's been some changes to the payment schedule recently due to the new fiscal year. Might be why you're confused. Check out the EDD website for updates!

Guys, I just had a breakthrough with EDD after months of issues. Here's what worked for me: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online message. 2. Be persistent but polite. The person on the other end is probably just as frustrated as you. 3. Use the magic words: "I'm experiencing a financial hardship due to delayed payments." 4. If all else fails, contact your local representative or the EDD ombudsman. Don't give up! It's a pain, but you'll get there eventually.

Ugh, EDD is such a nightmare to deal with. I've been waiting on my payment for weeks now. Good luck getting any straight answers from them 🙄
