EDD Not Paid: No Notices Received - What to Do?
Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with EDD. I haven't been paid and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you receive any notices or letters from them? I'm getting worried and could use some advice.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Haven't been paid in weeks and it's driving me crazy. Did you try calling them? It's a nightmare to get through.

•Calling is useless. I spent hours on hold and never got through. Its like they dont want us to reach them 🙄

•I found a way to get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the menu, stays on hold, and then sends the call to your phone when an agent picks up. It costs $20 but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

•Wait, seriously? $20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 😤

•I know it sounds crazy, but after weeks of not getting through, it was worth it for me. Got my issue resolved in one call.

•Hmm, interesting. How long did you have to wait after using the service?

•It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music. They just called me when an agent was on the line.

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional info there that don't get sent by mail.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out they needed me to verify my identity again. Check if you have any pending tasks or messages in your account.

•Thanks for the tip! I'll double-check my account. How long did it take to resolve once you verified your identity?

•It took about 2 weeks after I submitted the documents. Make sure you upload clear images if they ask for any!

The EDD system is such a joke. I've been dealing with payment issues for months now. It's like they're purposely making it difficult for us 🤡

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account for any pending tasks or messages 2. Make sure all your certifications are up to date 3. Verify that your personal information (address, phone, etc.) is correct 4. Look for any identity verification requests 5. Check if there's a flag on your account for potential fraud (unfortunately common) 6. If everything looks good on your end, you NEED to speak with a rep If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting your local assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push your case forward. Also, document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, screenshots of your account, and any correspondence you receive. This will be helpful if you need to escalate your case. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence is key with EDD. Good luck!

•Unfortunately, yes. I've been through the EDD wringer more times than I'd like to admit. It's a pain, but these steps have helped me and others I know. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ugh, I'm so tired of seeing these posts. No offense OP, but this gets asked like 5 times a day. Can we get a megathread or something?

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting paid, try filing a new claim. Sometimes the system glitches and this can jumpstart the process. Worked for me!

•Careful with this advice. Filing a new claim when you shouldn't can actually cause more delays. Always check with a rep first if possible.
