I've been fighting this E314 error for weeks and I'm at my wit's end! I've tried literally everything - different browsers, clearing cache, incognito mode, waiting for off-peak hours, you name it. The most frustrating part is that sometimes it works for like 5 minutes and then boom, error again. Has anyone had any luck calling the technical support line? I know everyone says it's impossible to get through, but at this point I'm willing to sit on hold for hours if it means actually getting this resolved. This system is seriously broken and it's affecting people's ability to get the benefits they need to survive. Something needs to change! 😤

I've been battling this E314 error for about 2 weeks now and it's been absolutely maddening! What finally got me through was a combination of several things others have mentioned here. I used Firefox (not Chrome), cleared everything including cookies and site data, then tried right around 6 AM PST when the system seems less loaded. The key thing that made the difference though was breaking up my request into smaller pieces instead of trying to submit everything at once. Instead of uploading multiple documents or filling out long forms in one session, I did it bit by bit over several attempts. It's tedious but it worked! Also, @Dmitri Volkov that calling service you mentioned actually sounds pretty tempting at this point - my time is definitely worth more than sitting on hold for 4+ hours 😅 Hang in there everyone, this system is trash but we'll get through it!

Glad to hear your payment came through! For future reference, here's a general EDD payment timeline: 1. Certification submitted (day 0) 2. EDD processes certification (1-2 business days) 3. Payment issued to Bank of America/Money Network (1 business day) 4. Funds available on card (0-1 business day) Total: 2-4 business days on average, but can be faster or slower depending on various factors. Reporting earnings, answering 'yes' to certain questions, or having a partial payment week can all extend this timeline.

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - certified on Monday and it's Thursday with no payment yet. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really helpful though! It sounds like 3-4 business days is pretty normal, especially when you report earnings like I did this week. The inconsistency is definitely the most stressful part - you never know if it's going to be 1 day or 5 days. At least now I know to check the Transaction Activity section in UI Online to see if it's been processed even if it hasn't hit the card yet. Thanks for sharing your experience and glad your payment finally came through!

I went through this exact same situation about 6 months ago! The waiting period is definitely nerve-wracking, especially when you're counting on those funds. From my experience, the 7-10 business day timeline is pretty accurate once your payment shows "paid" - mine took exactly 8 business days. One thing that helped me was calling Money Network (1-866-692-9374) on day 7 just to confirm everything was processing normally. Their customer service is way better than EDD's and they could see that my card had been issued and was in transit. They can also tell you the exact date it was mailed. Also, pro tip: once you get your card, you can actually transfer the funds to your regular bank account through the Money Network website for free (though it takes 1-2 business days). This way you're not stuck using the debit card for everything. Hang in there - it's coming!

Just wanted to add another data point - I'm currently going through this same process! My payment switched to "paid" status this past Monday, so I'm on day 4 of waiting. Reading everyone's experiences here is really helpful and reassuring. It sounds like the 7-10 business day window is pretty standard, and I love the tip about checking for mail from Indianapolis rather than looking for anything EDD-branded. I'm definitely going to set up USPS Informed Delivery like someone mentioned - seems like a good way to track when it's actually coming. And I'll make sure to activate it immediately when it arrives. Thanks everyone for sharing your timelines and tips! This community is so helpful for navigating all the EDD confusion.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this stress - the uncertainty when benefits run out is absolutely crushing. Everyone here has given you excellent advice about filing a new claim and exploring other resources. One thing I wanted to mention that I haven't seen discussed yet: if you do end up not qualifying for a new UI claim, you might want to look into whether your county offers General Relief (GR) or General Assistance (GA) programs. These are usually last-resort cash assistance programs for people who don't qualify for other benefits. The amounts are typically pretty small (maybe $200-400/month depending on your county), but every bit helps when you're facing rent that high. Also, regarding your restaurant management background - have you considered looking into corporate roles with restaurant chains or food service companies? Many of them hire former restaurant managers for training, operations support, or district management roles. The pay can be better and more stable than individual restaurant positions, plus they often offer benefits. Companies like Compass Group, Aramark, and Sodexo are always looking for people with your background. Keep pushing forward with that new claim filing - even if the benefit amount ends up being lower due to part-time wages, it could be the bridge you need while expanding your job search. You've got solid experience and skills, and this rough patch will pass. Hang in there!

I just went through this exact situation about 3 months ago, so I really feel for you! The panic when you see that $0 balance is real. One thing that helped me was creating a spreadsheet of all my part-time earnings while on UI to calculate if I might qualify for a new claim. Since you've been working 10 hours/week at the coffee shop, definitely add up those wages - you might be closer to the $1,300 quarterly minimum than you think, especially if you've been consistent for several months. When I filed my new claim, I was honest about being nervous that my part-time wages wouldn't be enough, but the EDD rep actually walked me through the calculation and I barely qualified. My new weekly benefit was only about 40% of my original amount, but it bought me 2 more months to find full-time work, which made all the difference. Also, don't sleep on the 211 resource someone mentioned - they connected me to a local nonprofit that helped with one month's rent while I was transitioning. Every county has different programs available, and many people don't know about them. The restaurant industry is still recovering, but your management skills are definitely transferable. I ended up pivoting to retail management and actually love it more than my restaurant job. Sometimes these forced career pivots lead to better opportunities! File that new claim ASAP - even if you're not sure about qualifying, let EDD make that determination. You've got this!

Hey OP, any updates? Were you able to file your claim?

I had the exact same issue a few weeks ago! The blank page thing is so frustrating. What worked for me was disabling all my browser extensions temporarily, then trying again. Apparently some ad blockers and privacy extensions can interfere with the EDD site's functionality. Also try opening an incognito/private browsing window - that helped me get past the blank page. If you're still stuck after trying the browser fixes, you might need to call the technical support line (not the regular claims line) at 1-833-978-2511. They can sometimes reset something on their end that fixes the glitch. Good luck!
