EDD claim from December still unpaid - what can I do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed in November and still nothing. The system is so broken rn 😤

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

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. If everything looks good on your end, you need to contact EDD directly. 4. Be persistent with calling - early morning or late afternoon tend to have shorter wait times. 5. If you can't get through by phone, try sending a message through your UI Online account. 6. As a last resort, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite claims. Remember, the system is overwhelmed right now, so patience is key. But don't give up! You're entitled to your benefits.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week after I faxed my info

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was an identity verification issue they never told me about. Definitely try to get someone on the phone if you can.

Not to be that guy, but have you double checked that you're eligible? Sometimes people file without realizing they don't qualify.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🎪🤡 where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up

Anybody else notice how they always seem to 'lose' our documents? I've had to send the same forms like 3 times now 🙄

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it's tough but it will get sorted eventually. In the meantime, check out local food banks if you're struggling. No shame in getting help when you need it. ❤️
