EDD payment delay: Filed last week, still no money. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment payment. I filed my claim last week and requested the manager to process my payment, but I still haven't received anything. It's been almost a week now. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? Any advice on how to speed up the process or get in touch with someone who can help?

Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses on Twitter.
I tried that last month. They just sent me a generic response and told me to call the main number 🤦♂️

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that can help explain the delay.
I tried, but the website keeps giving me an error. Guess I'll have to call... again 😩

Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses that way.
I tried tweeting at them once. They just sent me a link to the FAQ page. 🙄 Useless.

Here's what you need to know about unpaid leave: 1. FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) might apply if your company has 50+ employees and you've worked there for at least a year. This protects your job for up to 12 weeks. 2. If FMLA doesn't apply, it's up to your employer's discretion. Some states have additional protections, so check your local laws. 3. Unpaid leave usually means you're still an employee, so you might keep some benefits. But again, check your company's policy. 4. Your job isn't necessarily protected unless it falls under FMLA or similar state laws. 5. Consider negotiating a return-to-work agreement before you leave. This can help protect your position. 6. Look into whether you qualify for any paid leave options first (sick leave, PTO, short-term disability). 7. Budget carefully. No income for a while can be tough, so plan ahead if possible. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is rigged against workers? Like, why isn't paid leave a basic right? 🤔

Ikr? My cousin in Europe gets like a month of paid vacation every year. Meanwhile, we're out here begging for unpaid time off 🙄
