EDD Payment Update Delay - Anyone else stuck waiting?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my payment update. I filed a claim recently and I'm still waiting to hear back. It's been a few days now and I'm getting a bit anxious. Has anyone else experienced delays with their payment updates lately? Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel ya. The waiting game is the worst. I've been dealing with payment issues for weeks now. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Calling is a nightmare tho. I spent 3 hours on hold last week and got disconnected 🤬

Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have better luck getting through.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

How long did it take for them to actually connect you?

It took about 45 minutes, but I was able to do other stuff while waiting. Way better than being stuck on hold myself.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending any notifications.

I'm in the same boat, buddy. Filed my claim two weeks ago and still radio silence. This system is so broken, it's not even funny anymore. 🤦‍♂️

Have yall tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

Here's what I've learned from my experience with payment updates: 1. Be patient. It can take up to 10 business days for updates to process. 2. Double-check all your information. Even small errors can cause delays. 3. Keep an eye on your online account for status changes. 4. If it's been more than 2 weeks, definitely try calling. 5. Document everything - dates you filed, any communication you receive, etc. 6. Consider reaching out to your local representative if you hit a wall. Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off in the end.

Has anyone heard about the new policy changes? I heard they're supposed to speed up processing times, but idk if it's actually helping.

I saw something about that too. Supposedly they hired more staff, but I haven't noticed any difference tbh.

Classic government move. Promise improvements, deliver disappointment. 🙄
