Filed for UI in April, doctor submitted info, still no payment. What gives?

Ugh, welcome to the club 🙄 I filed in March and still nothing. The system is so backed up its 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 you need to do: 1. Check your UI Online account for any pending tasks or messages. Sometimes they need additional info but don't tell you. 2. If nothing there, try calling. Be persistent. Early morning or late afternoon tend to be better. 3. If you can't get through, consider contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite claims. 4. Make sure all your certifications are up to date, even if you've returned to work. 5. Double check that your doctor's info was received correctly. Sometimes there's a disconnect there. 6. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. It can be helpful if you need to escalate the issue. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed but they'll get to you eventually.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I heard it can work

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's a joke that people have to wait this long for help they desperately need.

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you filed? Might be worth double checking that everything went through correctly on their end.

lol welcome to EDD hell. grab a seat, we'll be here a while 🤡
