Filled out EDD forms a month ago, still no payment. What gives?
Has anyone else been waiting forever for their payment? I filled out all the forms like a month ago and still haven't seen a dime. This is getting ridiculous. I've got bills to pay and mouths to feed. What's taking them so long? Anyone know if there's anything I can do to speed things up?

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting for 6 weeks now. It's like they're purposely trying to make our lives harder. Have you tried calling them? I heard sometimes that can help move things along.

I've tried calling but it's impossible to get through. Always busy or they hang up on me. So frustrating!

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

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

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too. But I tried it and it actually worked. Got through to an agent in about an hour.

20 bucks tho? That's kinda steep just to make a phone call.

I get it, but for me it was worth it. I was going crazy trying to get through on my own. This saved me hours of frustration.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Keep copies of all forms you submit. 2. If you can, submit online AND by mail. Sometimes one method is faster. 3. Check your account daily for updates. 4. If you do get through on the phone, get the name and ID of who you talk to. 5. Be persistent but polite. The people on the phone didn't create this mess. 6. If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes help. Hang in there, OP. The system is broken, but you'll get your money eventually.

Have you checked your spam folder? I know it sounds dumb, but I found my approval email there after weeks of waiting.

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system is a joke.

Preach! 🙌 But let's not turn this into a political debate. OP needs actual help.
