EDD Claim from March Still Pending - When Will I Get Paid?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been stuck in pending hell for months too. It's like they just forget about us or something. Have you tried calling? I know it's a nightmare, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Hey, I actually found a way to 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

Have you checked if there are any outstanding issues on your claim? Sometimes there's a flag that needs to be cleared before they'll process it. Log into your account and look for any messages or alerts.

March?! Dude, that's insane. I thought my 6-week wait was bad. The system is so broken its not even funny anymore. We need to bombard our representatives with complaints or something.

Here's what I've learned from my own nightmare with EDD: • 'Pending Processing' usually means there's an eligibility issue they need to sort out • You should be receiving some kind of notice in the mail about why it's held up • If you haven't gotten anything, call and ask for a 'status of claim' update • Sometimes claims get stuck and need to be manually pushed through • Keep certifying for benefits every two weeks, even if you're not getting paid yet • Document EVERYTHING - every call, letter, and online status change Hang in there. It's a frustrating process, but keep at it. And definitely try to get someone on the phone if you can!

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that works better than online submission. old school but effective lol

I hate to say it, but you might want to start looking into other financial options. EDD is so backlogged, there's no guarantee when you'll see that money. Food banks, rental assistance programs, etc. Don't wait until you're desperate.

Anyone else notice that their system always seems to 'update' right when you need to certify? It's like clockwork. They need to hire some better IT people or something smh

Idk if this helps, but I was stuck in pending for ages. Turns out there was a typo in my SSN that was holding everything up. Triple check all your info is correct!
