EDD Check Mailed? How to Check Status and Estimated Arrival Time

I found a way to solve payment check mailing delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIzmZdhXKkM

I feel ya, OP. I was in the same boat last month. It took about 2 weeks for my check to arrive after they said it was mailed. The waiting game is brutal 😫

Pro tip: I found a way to actually 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.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before the check actually arrives. Might give you a heads up!

Ugh, the whole system is so broken. I've been waiting for my check for over a month now. Called like 50 times and can't get through. This is ridiculous! 😡

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research: 1. Checks are typically mailed within 24-48 hours after the payment is processed. 2. Standard mail can take 3-5 business days, but with current delays, it's more like 7-10 days. 3. You can check your claim status online, but it's not always up to date. 4. If it's been more than 14 days, you should definitely try to contact them. 5. Keep an eye on your informed delivery from USPS if you have that set up. 6. Sometimes checks get lost in the mail. If it's been too long, you might need to request a replacement. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP!

lol welcome to the waiting game. grab a snack and get comfy, you might be here a while 🍿

Has anyone tried going to the local office in person? wondering if that might be faster than waiting for the mail

Just a heads up, make sure you're checking the correct mailing address. I had my check sent to my old address by mistake and it was a whole ordeal to fix 😫

Anyone else think its crazy that were still using paper checks in 2023? like hello, ever heard of direct deposit? 🙄

I'm dealing with the same thing right now! Been waiting about 10 days since they said it was "processed" and still nothing in the mail. The anxiety is real when you're depending on that money 😰 I've been obsessively checking my mailbox twice a day lol. Following this thread for any updates or tips from others who've been through this!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My payment was supposedly processed 6 days ago and I'm checking the mailbox like 3 times a day 📬 The stress is real when you need that money ASAP. I've been reading that some people have had success with the USPS Informed Delivery service - it shows you what mail is coming that day. Might help ease some of the anxiety of not knowing if today's the day. Also saw someone mention that if it goes past 10 business days, you can request a payment inquiry or even ask for a replacement check. Fingers crossed both our checks show up soon! 🤞

I'm in the exact same situation right now! My payment status changed to "issued" 5 days ago but still nothing in my mailbox. The daily mail check has become part of my routine at this point 😩 I called the EDD number yesterday and after 2 hours on hold, the rep told me to wait 10 business days from the issue date before they can do anything. She also mentioned that mail delays have been worse lately due to staffing issues at USPS. I'm trying to stay patient but it's hard when you're budgeting around that money. Definitely going to try that Informed Delivery thing someone mentioned - sounds like it could save some anxiety!
