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

Hey everyone, I'm getting really frustrated with my unemployment claim. I submitted it over a month ago and haven't seen any updates or received any payment. When I check online, it just says "process pending". I'm starting to worry there might be something wrong with my claim. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

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've been trying to call, but it's impossible to get through. The lines are always busy 😫

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way!

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. Got through in about 2 hours.

$20 just to make a phone call? The system is so broken 🤮

I know it sucks to pay, but for me it was worth it to finally get answers about my claim.

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!

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

Oh please, take off the tinfoil hat. It's just an outdated system that can't handle the volume.

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

I hadn't thought of that. How do I find out who my representatives are?

Just google "[your city] state representatives". Most have forms on their websites for constituent services. Good luck!
