EDD claim submitted a month ago, no payment & system says no open claim. Help!

I found a way to solve unemployment claim payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPCz5szJRQc

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating! I've been waiting for almost 2 months now. The system is totally broken 😡

Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes the online system glitches and doesn't show accurate info.

I found a method 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Try reaching out via email or their online portal if they have one. Sometimes written communication gets a faster response. 3. Contact your local state representative or senator's office. They often have liaisons who can help with unemployment issues. 4. Check if there are any local legal aid organizations that assist with unemployment claims. They might be able to advocate for you. 5. Keep filing your weekly claims even if you haven't been approved yet. This ensures you don't miss out on any weeks you're eligible for. 6. If all else fails, consider filing an appeal. Sometimes this can jumpstart the process. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the emails from edd end up there lol

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might just need to wait it out 😕

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my SSN wrong by one digit. Double-check all your info is correct!

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get what we're owed? the system is a joke 🤡

Hey OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a bit depending on location.
