EDD: No notification or payment 30+ days after mailing claim. Help!

I found a way to solve unemployment claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNjXIA-BhH0

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat a few months ago. It's so frustrating when you're waiting on money you desperately need. Have you tried calling right when they open? That sometimes worked for me.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. It's worth a shot!

Mail-in claims take forever these days. I'd recommend filing online if possible. It's usually faster and you can track the status easier.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call the 833 number, not the 800 one 2. Press 1 for English 3. Then 2 for claim questions 4. Then 4 for general info Sometimes you'll get through faster this way. Good luck!

idk man, the whole system is a joke. I've been waiting 2 months and still nothing. Starting to think ill never see that money 🤡

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive.
