How to check EDD claim status and payment date?

Logging into your EDD account online is usually the quickest way to check your claim status. There should be updates or messages about your claim there. If you're having trouble understanding the info, let me know and I can try to help!

Ugh, I feel ya. Been there, done that. The waiting game is the worst 😫 Hang in there!

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

Pro tip: check early in the morning or late at night. The system updates overnight, so you might catch new info before the rush 👀

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up or get answers from EDD. Worth a shot if you're really stuck!

Listen up, folks. I've been through the EDD wringer and here's what I've learned: • Always, ALWAYS keep copies of everything you submit • Set up email notifications for your EDD account • Check your spam folder regularly • If you can't get through on the phone, try their social media accounts • Be patient but persistent Remember, the system is overloaded, but keep at it. You'll get your money eventually!

Anyone else feel like we're all just stuck in some kind of EDD limbo? It's like a bad dream that never ends 😴💤

I totally get your frustration! Here's what worked for me when I was in the same boat: 1. Log into your EDD online portal first thing in the morning (around 6-7 AM) - that's when updates usually show up 2. Look for the "Claim Summary" section - it'll show your benefit year, weekly benefit amount, and claim balance 3. Check the "Payment History" tab to see if any payments are pending or issued 4. If there are any issues, they'll usually show up under "Inbox" with specific instructions Also, make sure your contact info and direct deposit details are up to date! I've seen people miss payments because their bank info was wrong. The waiting is seriously the worst part, but hang in there - most claims do get processed eventually. Keep us posted on what you find out! 🤞

Just wanted to add that if you're still having trouble after checking online, you can also try the EDD mobile app - sometimes it loads faster than the website, especially during peak hours. I've noticed that payment dates usually show up 1-2 days before the money actually hits your account, so don't panic if you see a date but don't get paid immediately. Also, if your claim shows "pending" for more than a few weeks, that's when I'd definitely try calling or reaching out to your assembly member like others mentioned. The system is definitely frustrating but most people do eventually get their payments sorted out!

Hey Isabella! I went through this exact same thing a few months ago and I totally feel your stress. Here's what helped me figure out my payment timeline: If you log into your EDD account, look for a section called "Claim Status" or "Payment Information" - it should show you if your payments are "Issued," "Pending," or if there are any holds on your account. One thing that really helped me was setting up text notifications through the EDD portal. They'll send you updates when your payment status changes, which saved me from obsessively checking the website every hour (guilty as charged lol). Also, if you're on Paid Family Leave specifically, payments usually come on the same day of the week that you first got approved, but it can take 2-3 business days to actually show up in your bank account after EDD says it's "issued." Don't lose hope - I know the waiting is absolutely brutal, but most people do get their payments eventually. The system is just super backed up. Keep checking your account and definitely try some of the other suggestions people posted here. You got this! 💪
