EDD Form Submitted Week Ago - No Response or Payment. What Next?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6MauY8xPVQ

Ugh, welcome to the club. 🙄 I've been waiting for almost a month now. The system is so backed up its ridiculous. Have you tried checking your online account for any updates?

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 the link: https://claimyr.com

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check all your info is correct online 2. Upload any additional docs they might need (even if they didn't ask) 3. Send a message through the online portal 4. If no response in 10 days, start calling early in the morning 5. Be persistent! Hang in there, it's a pain but you'll get through eventually!

have u tried faxing ur docs? I no it sounds old school but I heard it can speed things up sometimes

Bruh, the EDD is a 🤡 show. I swear they're playing games with our lives. Been waiting 6 weeks and nothing. This system is broken af

Pro tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way. Good luck!

Anyone else notice that the website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same boat. This too shall pass. In the meantime, have you looked into any local food banks or assistance programs? They can be a lifesaver while waiting for UI to come through.
