Confused about conditional payments during EDD eligibility interview wait - only got paid for 1 week out of 3?

The conditional payment system is super inconsistent lately. From what I've seen, EDD is SUPPOSED to release payment for all weeks that have been pending for more than 14 days while you're waiting for an eligibility interview. But the system doesn't always work the way it should. Has your husband continued to certify for weeks after 2/15? Sometimes that triggers the earlier weeks to process.

I had almost the exact same situation in January! The conditional payment system is designed to pay benefits while EDD determines eligibility, but it doesn't always process all weeks at once. Here's what happens: 1. The system flags some weeks for conditional payment (usually the oldest pending week first) 2. Other weeks sometimes stay pending until either: - Your interview happens and they make a determination - The system processes more conditional payments (which can take 1-2 more certification cycles) In my case, they paid my first pending week as conditional, then the next two weeks processed as conditional about 10 days later without me doing anything. I'd recommend waiting until after your next certification before calling.

Call them!! I waited 3 weeks for my conditional payments and nothing happened until I called. The rep told me there was a glitch in my account that was preventing the system from automatically processing my conditional payments for all weeks. She fixed it while I was on the phone and I got paid for all my pending weeks within 24 hours.

i think sometimes the 2 wk counter starts from different times for each week u certify. so the 2/1 week hit 14 days first and got paid but the others haven't hit their 14 day mark yet from whenever edd counts from (not always when u certify

If you need to reach EDD, I'd recommend using Claimyr. I was in the exact same boat with conditional payments not processing correctly, and I spent days trying to call with no luck. Claimyr connected me to an EDD rep in about 25 minutes when I was getting busy signals for days. The rep fixed my conditional payment issue immediately. You can check out how it works in their video demo: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km or go to claimyr.com. Saved me so much frustration!

This whole conditional payment thing is SO confusing. When I had my eligibility interview scheduled, I was in pending for 5 weeks and they only paid me for 2 of them conditionally. The EDD rep told me during my interview that sometimes their system puts a hold on weeks where there might be a potential issue (like if your husband reported any earnings or didn't do enough job searches or answered a question differently than previous weeks). After my interview was complete and I was approved, all my remaining weeks switched to paid within 48 hours. So if his interview is March 10th and it goes well, the other weeks should get resolved then at the latest.

My brother went thru this last month. EDD is doing a weird thing where they're only conditionally paying SOME weeks even though they're supposed to be paying ALL weeks that are pending more than 14 days. When he called, they said there's a "secondary review" happening on some weeks that prevents conditional payments. It's complete garbage and they're making their own rules up as they go along!!! The system is broken!

One more thing to check - login to UI Online and make sure the weeks that are still pending don't have any message about "excessive earnings" or any other issues flagged. Sometimes if you reported any income for those weeks (even a small amount), it can prevent conditional payments from processing automatically.

anyone else notice the edd website is down like every saturday night?? maybe thats when they update the system for conditional payments

Update us after your husband's next certification cycle! I'm curious if certifying again will trigger those other weeks to process as conditional payments. That's what happened in my case back in December.

I'm going through something similar right now! Filed in late January and have been waiting for my eligibility interview (scheduled for next week). I had 4 weeks pending and they only released conditional payment for 2 of them - the oldest and newest weeks, but left the middle two still pending. It makes no sense! From what I've gathered reading through all these comments and my own research, it seems like EDD's conditional payment system is basically broken right now. Some people get all their weeks paid conditionally, others get partial payments, and some get nothing at all even after the 14-day rule. I'd suggest waiting until after Sunday's certification to see if that triggers the other weeks, but if not, definitely call. The system clearly isn't working as intended and sometimes it takes a human to manually push things through. Good luck with the March 10th interview!
