EDD Delayed Payment + Banned After Asking for Refund - What Can I Do?

I found a way to solve delayed payment customer service issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCrSq5le9Z8

Man, that sucks! I've had similar issues with customer service before. It's like they don't even care about loyal customers anymore. Have you tried escalating to a supervisor or manager?

Ugh, delayed payments are the worst. I've been dealing with EDD for months now. Have you tried calling them directly? It's a pain, but sometimes you can get through if you keep trying.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then sends the call to your phone when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do about your delayed payment: 1. Document everything. Keep a record of all your interactions, including dates, times, and names of representatives you speak with. 2. File a formal complaint. Most agencies have a process for this. Be detailed and stick to the facts. 3. Reach out to your local government representative. They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with these issues. 4. Consider legal aid. If the delay is causing serious financial hardship, there might be free legal resources available. 5. Stay persistent. Unfortunately, these things often require multiple follow-ups. Remember, you have rights as a claimant. Don't let them give you the runaround!

have you tried going to there office in person? sometimes face-to-face works better then over the phone

The whole system is broken. They make it so hard on purpose so people just give up. It's a disgrace. 😤

Hey OP, sorry youre dealing with this. I work in customer service (not for EDD) and heres a tip: ask for a callback instead of waiting on hold. Also, be super nice even if youre frustrated. We're more likely to go the extra mile for pleasant customers. Good luck!
