EDD claim processed but no payment received - help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating! Mine has been 'processed' for like 2 weeks now and still nothing in my account. The EDD website is useless and I can't get through on the phone. Anyone know if there's a delay or something?

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 you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account for any pending certifications or requests for additional information. Sometimes they need more data before releasing funds. 2. Make sure your payment method is set up correctly. If you chose direct deposit, double-check your bank info. 3. Look for any disqualification notices. Sometimes they approve you but then find an issue that stops payment. 4. If everything looks good on your end, you'll need to contact EDD. Try calling right when they open or just before closing time. 5. If you can't get through, send a secure message through your UI Online account. Be specific about your issue. 6. As a last resort, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed, but keep at it and you'll get your benefits eventually.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk but seriously EDD needs to get there act together

I had this exact problem last month. Turns out there was an identity verification issue that I didn't know about. Check your spam folder for any emails from EDD. They might have sent you something important that got filtered out.

guys. we need to organize and do something about this. its not okay that so many of us are struggling to get our benefits. whos up for a protest at the EDD office? 👊

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling the employer line instead. Sometimes they'll help claimants too, and it's usually less busy.

I had a similar issue a few months back - turned out my bank had changed their routing number and I never updated it in my EDD account. The payments were getting rejected and just sitting there. Check with your bank to make sure all the account info is still correct. Also, if you recently moved or changed banks, that could be causing delays. Hope this helps!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My claim has been showing "processed" for about 10 days but no payment has hit my account yet. I've been checking multiple times a day and it's driving me crazy. I tried calling but like everyone else here, I can't get through. The automated system just keeps saying "high call volume" and hangs up on me. It's so stressful when you're counting on these benefits to pay rent and bills. Has anyone had success with the secure messaging system through the UI Online portal? I'm thinking of trying that next since the phone seems impossible.

I'm dealing with this exact same issue right now! My claim has been showing "processed" for over 3 weeks but still no payment. I've tried everything - calling at different times, checking my account info, looking through emails including spam folder. The whole system seems completely broken. What's really frustrating is that I can see my weekly benefit amount is approved, but the money just never shows up. I'm starting to wonder if there's some kind of technical glitch on their end that's affecting a bunch of us. Has anyone who experienced this delay actually gotten their back payments once it was finally resolved? I'm worried they might only pay from when they fix the issue forward, not the weeks that were already "processed" but never paid.
