Filed for UI last week, told funds would release in 3 days but still nothing. Anyone else experiencing delays?
I filed for unemployment benefits last week and they told me the funds would be released in three days. It's been longer than that now and I still haven't received anything. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? What should I do?

EDD Back Pay Delay: How Long Did It Take You to Get Paid?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD back pay. I filed a claim a while ago and I'm still waiting to hear back about it. Has anyone else dealt with this? How long did it take for you to get your back pay sorted out? Any advice on how to speed up the process would be really appreciated!

Anybody else think its crazy that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get money we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul tbh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose
For real. My grandpa was tellin me how easy it was back in his day. Times have changed man
If one works FULL time Monday to Friday and then is on call every other weekend 24/7 as well, Would one be eligible for EDD Paid family leave on the off weekends? Daughter was born few months ago and wondering if I can claim on weekends only? Because I got denied with it saying: "You are requesting benefits for a period outside of your normal contractual employment period. You must be working or looking for work when the need for family care arises. The period for which you are requesting benefits to provide care is outside of your normal employment contract. Basis: California Unemployment Insurance Code, section 140.5" So this makes it sound like they think I'm not working full time, but I am. So do I have grounds for an appeal to claim every other weekend for paid family leave? Or no. Thanks.
EDD nightmare: 6 calls deep trying to get military leave pay. Any success stories?
I've called EDD 6 times now trying to get paid for my military leave and recomputation. Anyone else dealing with this? It's so frustrating to keep calling and not getting anywhere. Any advice on how to actually get through to someone who can help?

OMG THIS IS SO RELATABLE 😭 I've been trying to get my military leave pay sorted for months. EDD is a black hole where claims go to die. Sending you good vibes, hope you get through soon!
Thanks for the support! It's nice to know I'm not alone in this struggle. Hope your situation gets resolved soon too!
Hot take: the whole system is designed to be frustrating so people give up. Stay strong and keep fighting for what you're owed! 💪
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're hoping we'll just forget about the money they owe us.
Conspiracy theory: EDD is actually run by robots programmed to say 'We're experiencing higher than normal call volume' on loop 🤖
EDD Extension Approved but No Payment Received - What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I got an extension for my unemployment claim, but I haven't received anything yet. It's been a while and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Pro tip: if u can't get thru on the main line, try calling one of the foreign language lines and then ask to be transfered to an english speaking rep. Worked for me!
EDD only paying for 1 day instead of multiple days claimed - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my unemployment claim. I filed for multiple days but the system is only showing that I'm getting paid for one day. Has anyone else experienced this? I double-checked and the dates are correct, but it's still not reflecting the right number of days. Any advice on how to fix this or who to contact?

I feel you. Have you looked into local food banks or assistance programs? They might be able to help while you wait for UI to come through.
