Filled out EDD forms a month ago, still no payment. What gives?

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

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 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

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.

lol welcome to the club 🤡 been waiting 3 months here

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.

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the unemployment gods? I hear that speeds things up 😂
