Won EDD appeal but no payment - need to sign something?

I won my appeal with EDD but I still haven't received my payment. The system says I need to sign something, but I haven't gotten anything in the mail. Has anyone else dealt with this? How long does it usually take for the payment to come through after winning an appeal?

Congrats on winning your appeal! In my experience, it usually takes about 2-4 weeks for the payment to process after winning an appeal. Have you tried calling EDD to ask about the document you need to sign? Sometimes they forget to send it out.

2-4 weeks?! That's ridiculous. We need that money now, not a month from now. The system is so broken 🤬

I know, it sucks. But hang in there! At least you won the appeal, that's the hardest part.

I had the same issue! Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check your address on file with EDD 2. Call and request they resend the document 3. If you still don't receive it, ask if you can sign it electronically Hope this helps!

Hey guys, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD! I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Time is money, and I was wasting so much time trying to get through.

Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting your documents, try reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help expedite things with EDD.

Totally agree. We need to start pressuring our representatives to fix this mess.

Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect after winning an appeal: 1. Notification: You should receive an official notice of the appeal decision within 7-10 days. 2. Document to Sign: This is usually a DE 1326C form. If you haven't received it within 2 weeks, call EDD. 3. Processing Time: Once EDD receives your signed document, it typically takes 2-4 weeks to process the payment. 4. Payment Method: If you have EDD Debit Card, funds will be loaded there. Otherwise, you'll receive a check. 5. Retroactive Payments: Any back payments owed will be included. If you encounter any issues during this process, document everything and don't hesitate to reach out to EDD or your local representatives for help. Stay persistent!
