How to check EDD claim status and payment date?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to check my claim status and find out when I'll get paid. Anyone know the best way to do this? I've been waiting for what feels like forever and I'm getting worried.

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!

This ^^^ EDD's website is actually pretty good for checking status. Just make sure you have your login info handy!

Yeah, the online portal is def the way to go. Way faster than calling and dealing with those endless hold times šŸ™„

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

Woah, that sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? How long did you have to wait?

Idk man, paying to get through seems sketchy. No offense, but are you sure it's legit?

I get the skepticism, but it's 100% legit. I was desperate and took a chance. Waited about 2 hours, but didn't have to deal with the frustration of redialing. Totally worth it for me.

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

This is solid advice! I always check first thing when I wake up. It's like Christmas morning... if Christmas was really stressful and potentially disappointing lol

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!

I second this! My assembly member's office was super helpful when I had issues. Def give it a try, OP!

I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it!

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!

This should be pinned at the top of the sub tbh. Great advice! šŸ’Æ

Wish I'd known all this when I first filed. Would've saved me so much stress!

I'm convinced the whole system is run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels at this point 🐹
