EDD claim processed 2 weeks ago, still no payment after 3 months. What to ask when I call?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been dealing with EDD for months now. Have you checked if there are any pending verifications or holds on your account? That could be why it's taking so long.

When you call, make sure to ask if there are any internal delays or issues on their end. Sometimes they have backlogs or system problems that they don't advertise. Also, ask if there's anything specific you need to do to move the process along. Good luck!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what I've learned from my EDD nightmare: 1. Document everything! Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and account updates. 2. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times to get different answers. 3. Check your spam folder regularly. Important EDD emails sometimes end up there. 4. If possible, try to speak with a tier 2 representative. They often have more authority to resolve issues. 5. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite claims. 6. Join EDD-related Facebook groups. There's a lot of helpful info shared there. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same sinking boat 🚢💸

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, EDD's system is a joke. good luck, OP!

I'm in literally the exact same situation. Filed in January, claim says processed, but no money. It's like they're playing games with our lives. I'm about ready to go down to their office and camp out until someone helps me!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I finally got through after trying this for a week straight. Also, be super nice to the person who answers - they deal with angry people all day and might be more willing to help if you're friendly.

Anyone else think its wild that we're all here trying to figure out how to get basic help from a government agency? Like, isn't this literally their job? 🤡 state

Hey OP, when you do get through, ask them to explain EXACTLY why there's a delay. Don't let them give you vague answers. If they say 'processing time', ask what specific step it's stuck on. Sometimes they'll realize there's actually a fixable issue when you push for details.

I'm going through something similar - filed in February and still waiting! One thing that helped me was asking specifically about the "payment queue" when I called. Apparently there's a separate queue for issuing payments even after claims are processed. Also, double-check that your direct deposit info is correct in your profile - I've heard of people waiting months only to find out their bank info was wrong. Wishing you luck getting this sorted out! 🤞
