EDD Claim Pending Since Dec 28 - What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I submitted my claim back on December 28th and it's still showing as pending. It's been over a month now and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait time? I'm wondering if I need to do anything on my end to move things along. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last year. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I've been trying to call but it's impossible to get through. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? That's highway robbery! The government should make this easier for free.

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

Can you give more details about how it works? Is it legit?

Yeah, it's legit. You just put in your phone number and they call you when they get an agent. Beats sitting on hold all day!

Here's what you need to know about pending claims: ā¢ Pending status usually means they're reviewing your claim ā¢ It can take up to 3 weeks for them to process it ā¢ If it's been longer, there might be an issue they need to verify ā¢ Check your online account for any messages or requests for additional info ā¢ Make sure all your info is up to date and accurate ā¢ If you can get through on the phone, ask if there's anything holding up your claim Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed right now, but they'll get to your claim eventually.

Yeah, they said they'd "look into it" but nothing's changed. It's a joke.

Hey OP, what industry do you work in? Some sectors are experiencing longer wait times due to verification issues.

Has anyone tried the new EDD mobile app? Wondering if it's any better than the website.

It's marginally better, but still crashes a lot. At least you can check status on the go now.
