EDD Extension Approved but No Payment Received - What to Do?

Ugh, I feel you. The EDD is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I found a method 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

Ugh, I feel ya. The system is so messed up right now. I've been waiting for weeks too. It's like they just forget about us after approving the extension. Have you tried calling them?

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account for any new messages or updates. 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 3. If you haven't received any correspondence about your extension, you might need to file a new claim. 4. Keep trying to call. Use the trick of calling right at 8:00 AM when they open. 5. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off.

lol welcome to the EDD circus 🤡 where the rules are made up and your sanity doesn't matter

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes they dont send a notifcation but the $ shows up anyway

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in there system and my extension wasnt properly processed. Had to call and have them manually fix it. Such a headache!

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in the system.

Anyone else feel like we're playing unemployment roulette? 🎰 Never know if you're gonna hit the jackpot (aka actually get your money) or go bust 😂😭

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on my extension for 6 weeks now. This whole system is broken af.

PSA: If you're having trouble with your claim, try contacting your local Workforce Development office. They sometimes have direct lines to EDD and can help push things through.

Anyone else notice how the EDD website always seems to be down for "scheduled maintenance" when you need it most? 🙄

Pro tip: if u can't get thru on the main line, try calling one of the foreign language lines and then ask to be transfered to an english speaking rep. Worked for me!

Hey OP, how long has it been since you got the extension? There's usually a processing time of 2-3 weeks.
