EDD claim processed 2+ months ago, still no payment. What to do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I filed an unemployment claim back in September/October, and it's showing as processed in the system. The problem is, I still haven't received any payment, and it's been over two months now. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? I'm starting to get worried and could really use some advice on what to do next.

EDD Baby Bonding claim filed in October - still processing, no payment. Help!
I filed for Baby Bonding in October and still haven't received any payment. It's been months and the EDD website just says 'processing'. I haven't gotten any letters or notices. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next?

have u tried calling them? sometimes u can get lucky and get thru if u call right when they open
I tried a couple times but kept getting the 'all lines are busy' message. Might try again tomorrow morning tho
Honestly, the whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 6 weeks now and still nothing. California needs to get its act together 🤬
Preach! 👏 It's 2024 and we're still dealing with this nonsense
6 weeks?! That's insane. Have you tried reaching out to your local rep? Sometimes they can help push things along
Still no payment from EDD after weeks of waiting - anyone else?
Hey everyone, I'm getting really frustrated with my unemployment claim. I've been waiting for an update and still haven't received any payment. Has anyone else been in this situation? How long did it take for you to get your first payment? I'm starting to worry about bills piling up.

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? 🎓🤦♂️
For real! I spend more time trying to figure out their forms than I do job hunting these days.
How long does EDD take to process faxed timesheets? Anxiously waiting for payment update
Hey everyone, I just sent in my timesheet by fax to EDD and I'm wondering how long it usually takes for them to process it? Anyone have experience with this? I'm getting anxious waiting for my payment update.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: • Faxed timesheets usually take 7-10 business days to process • Online submissions are faster, usually 3-5 business days • If you haven't heard anything after 2 weeks, definitely follow up • Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them • Try calling first thing in the morning or right before they close for better chances of getting through • Be prepared for long hold times if you do call • Check your EDD account online regularly for updates Hope this helps! The waiting game sucks, but hang in there.
Wow, thanks for all the detailed info! This is super helpful 🙏
This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit tbh

Have you checked if there's an issue with your identity verification? That held up my claim for weeks until I figured it out.

I had to upload additional documents through the UI Online portal. It was a pain, but once I did that, things started moving again.

My cousin works for the state, not EDD directly but he heard it from someone who does. Take it with a grain of salt I guess 🤷♂️
