EDD claim from March still 'Pending Processing' - no payment received. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed in early April and still nothing. The system is so broken 😡 I've been calling every day but it's always busy. Starting to feel hopeless...

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

Here's what worked for me: 1. Email your local assemblymember or state senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues. 2. Be persistent with calling. Try early morning or late afternoon. 3. Check your UI Online account for any pending tasks or required documents. 4. If you have a complex claim (like mixed W2/1099 income), you might need to speak with a tier 2 specialist. 5. Make sure all your info is up to date and accurate. Hope this helps! Don't give up, you'll get through eventually.

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that works better than online submission. also, check ur spam folder for edd emails. they like to hide there lol

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged. They make it impossible on purpose so people just give up. Wake up sheeple! 🐑🐑🐑

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling the employer line and then asking to be transferred to claimant services. Worked for me!

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🤔 Sus af if you ask me

Guys, I just got through after weeks of trying! Here's what I did: 1. Called right at 8:01 AM 2. Used the 2511 number 3. Pressed 1, then 2, then 4 Got put on hold for about 30 mins, but finally talked to someone who could help. Don't give up!
