EDD claim stuck in pending - need help getting status update!

I found a way to solve pending unemployment claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAHJAMsAmJM

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was stuck in pending hell for like 2 months. Have you tried contacting your local assembly member? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional info there that don't get sent by mail.

man, the EDD is such a joke. I swear they make it impossible on purpose. good luck getting anyone on the phone, its like winning the lottery 🙄

I actually found a method to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep all your documents organized and easily accessible. 3. Document every interaction - date, time, who you spoke to. 4. Check your UI Online account daily for updates or messages. 5. If you're really stuck, reach out to your local assembly member or state senator. 6. Join Facebook groups for EDD claimants - sometimes they have insider tips. 7. Be polite but firm with EDD reps. They're overworked too. 8. If you get conflicting info, ask to speak to a tier 2 specialist. 9. Don't give up! It's frustrating but keep at it. Hope this helps someone out there. We're all in this mess together. 💪

have u tried faxing? I know it sounds crazy but I faxed my docs and got a response within a week

Not to be that guy, but have you double checked that you filled out everything correctly? I thought I was stuck in pending but turns out I made a dumb mistake on my initial claim 🤦‍♂️
