EDD claim stuck on "process pending" for over a month - no updates or payment. What to do?

I found a way to solve unemployment claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS4PIM2Htng

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was stuck in the same boat for weeks. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I 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 about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your info is correct online 2. Upload any additional docs they might need (even if they haven't asked) 3. Keep calling every day 4. If you can't get through, try contacting your local representative 5. Check your spam folder for emails 6. Be patient (I know it sucks) I went through this last year and it took about 6 weeks to get my first payment. The system is overwhelmed, but they'll get to you eventually. Hang in there!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes they send important emails there and u miss em

I'm telling you, it's a conspiracy. They make it impossible on purpose so people just give up. Wake up sheeple! 👀

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member or state senator? Sometimes they can help push things along.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my claim 5 weeks ago and still stuck on "pending." It's so stressful not knowing what's happening. I've tried calling but like everyone else said, can't get through. Thanks for all the suggestions in this thread - I'm going to try contacting my assembly member next. We shouldn't have to jump through all these hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. Hang in there, hopefully we'll both get some movement on our claims soon! 🤞

I'm dealing with a similar situation - my claim has been pending for about 3 weeks now. One thing that helped me was logging into my account and checking if there are any "action items" or document requests that might not be obvious at first glance. Sometimes they'll request additional verification docs but it's buried in the interface. Also, I found that calling the technical support line (not the main claims line) can sometimes get you through faster, and they can at least tell you if there are any obvious issues with your claim. The wait times are still brutal, but it's another option to try. Really hoping both of our claims get processed soon - this whole system needs a serious overhaul!
