EDD claim not showing up online after filing - what to do?

Ugh, I feel you. The system is so broken rn. I had the same issue last month. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

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

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check all your info is correct online 2. Send a message through the online portal (if available) 3. Keep calling, but try different times of day 4. Reach out to your local representative's office 5. Be patient (I know it sucks) Hang in there, OP. The system is overwhelmed but they'll get to you eventually.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the confirmation emails end up there. also make sure u filled out everything correctly. one wrong digit can mess up the whole thing

I'm in the same boat, filed 3 weeks ago and still nothing. This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to pay bills?? 😡

PSA: If your claim isn't showing up online, it might be flagged for identity verification. Keep an eye out for any letters in the mail asking for additional documents.

Hey @Keisha Johnson, I went through something similar last year. Here's what finally worked for me: 1) Keep detailed records of when you filed and any confirmation numbers, 2) Try the "Contact EDD" form on their website - sometimes that gets faster responses than calling, 3) If you have access to a fax machine, try faxing your inquiry directly to your local office. Also, don't panic if it takes a few weeks - the system is just really backed up right now. You'll get through this! 💪

I had this exact same issue a few months ago and it was so stressful! What ended up working for me was a combination of things: First, I called the tech support line (not the regular claims line) at 1-800-300-5616 - they can sometimes see technical issues that are preventing your claim from showing up online. Also, try logging out completely and clearing your browser cache/cookies, then log back in. Sometimes it's just a website glitch. If it's been more than 10 business days since you filed, definitely start calling the main line early in the morning (like 8:01 AM) or try the callback option if available. Don't give up - I know it's frustrating but your claim is probably in the system, just not displaying properly online. Keep us posted on how it goes!
