EDD Extension: 30+ Days, No Payment/Denial. What Now?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been 6 weeks for me and nothing. The system is so broken 😤

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be persistent and keep calling until you get through to a human.

I found a method that actually works 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Reach out to your local state representative or senator. They often have liaisons who can help push your case through. 3. Check your online account regularly for any updates or messages you might have missed. 4. If you haven't already, file an appeal. Even if you haven't received an official denial, sometimes this can trigger a response. 5. Join Facebook groups or other online communities dedicated to unemployment issues in your state. Sometimes you can get insider tips or at least moral support. 6. As a last resort, consider contacting local media. Sometimes public pressure can get results. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but you have rights and you deserve answers. Good luck! 💪
