EDD claim still unpaid after submitting new form - what now?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my unemployment claim. I filled out a new form as instructed because my original claim was missing some information. I sent it in, but I still haven't gotten paid. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what to do next?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating! I've been waiting for weeks after submitting additional info. The system is such a mess rn 😤

•Weeks? Try months 🙄 I swear they're doing this on purpose to make us give up

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

•Pro tip: 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.

•Wait, seriously? $20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous!

•I know it sounds crazy, but after spending weeks trying to get through, it was worth every penny. Saved me so much time and stress.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check all your info is correct 2. Submit through the online portal if possible 3. Keep a record of everything you submit 4. If no response in 2 weeks, try to contact your local representative 5. Be persistent but polite It's a slow process, but don't give up! You'll get your money eventually.

Have you checked if there are any flags on your account? Sometimes they put a hold on payments if they need to verify something.

•How do I check for flags? I don't see anything obvious in my account

•You might need to call and ask. Sometimes they don't show up in the online system. 🤷♂️

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue. Turns out they needed additional proof of income. I uploaded my w2 and tax returns, and it got sorted within a week.
