EDD payment delay: Filed last week, still no money. Help!

Ugh, welcome to the club. 🙄 I've been waiting for over two weeks now. The system is so backed up, it's ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? Good luck getting through tho...

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 I've learned from dealing with unemployment for the past 6 months: • Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. • Keep detailed records of all your communications. • If possible, try to speak with a tier 2 representative. • Check your online account regularly for updates. • Make sure all your information is up to date and accurate. • If you're really stuck, reach out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite things. Hang in there, OP. I know it's frustrating, but keep at it. The system is overwhelmed right now, but you'll get your money eventually.

have you checked your online account? sometimes they update stuff there without notifying you

I'm in the same boat, OP. Filed 3 weeks ago and still nothing. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive like this?

Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses on Twitter.

DONT GIVE UP!!! I know its hard but you gotta keep trying. I finally got my payment after 2 months of calling and emailing every day. Stay strong! 💪
