Filed for EDD Baby Bonding in October, still no payment. What to do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat! Filed in September and crickets so far. This is ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? I've been trying but can never get through.

I found a way 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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending out payments. Might give you some info on whats going on with your claim.

This is getting out of hand. The EDD needs to get there act together! We're all just tryina take care of our families and they're leaving us hangin. Not cool, man. 😡

Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and account updates. 2. Reach out to your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help push things along. 3. Be persistent but polite when you do get through to someone. 4. Check for any missing documents or information they might need from you. 5. Consider filing an appeal if it's been an unreasonable amount of time. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but you'll get through it!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 Took me 6 months to get my first payment. Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
