EDD Maternity Disability Bonding Pay Delay - No Payment After 6 Weeks

Ugh, I feel you. The EDD is such a mess rn. When did you file your claim? It took me like 2 months to get my first payment 🙄

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they post updates there before sending anything in the mail. Also, make sure you've completed all the forms they ask for - they're sticklers for paperwork.

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 a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your paperwork is complete and submitted 2. Log into your EDD account and look for any messages or requests 3. If nothing there, try calling them directly (use the trick in another comment if needed) 4. If still no luck, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims Don't give up! The system is slow, but you'll get your money eventually. Hang in there!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get what we're owed? 🤡 system

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at the EDD account can get their attention. Worth a shot!

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they had my old address on file and all the mail was going there. Might wanna double check your contact info is up to date.

Ive herd that sometimes the claims get stuck in the system if theres any discrepancy between your claim info and your employer's report. Might be worth asking your HR if they submitted everything correctly on there end.

sending positive vibes your way, OP! 💖 This process is stressful af, but you got this. Don't let the bureaucracy get you down!
