EDD claim not showing up online after filing - what to do?
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. I filed it a while ago, but it's still not showing up online. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next? I'm getting worried because I really need this money.

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.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too. But I tried it and it actually worked. Saved me hours of frustration.

I get it, but for me it was worth it. I was losing my mind trying to get through on my own.

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.

This is really helpful advice! I especially like the tip about reaching out to your local representative - I never thought of that. @Emma Davis have you had success with that approach before?

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.

This happened to me! Took forever to get it sorted out. Make sure you respond to those letters ASAP if you get them.
