EDD Application Pending for 4 Weeks - No Payment Yet. Help!

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

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat a few months ago. It's so frustrating when you're left hanging like that. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? It might be worth a shot to see if they can give you any info on whats holding things up.

4 weeks? That's nothing, buddy. I've been waiting for 3 months now. The system is completely broken. 🤡

I found a method that actually works to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what I've learned from my experience with delayed unemployment applications: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Check your online account daily: Sometimes they update your status without notifying you. 3. Double-check your application: Make sure you didn't miss any required fields or make any errors. 4. Contact your state representative: They often have dedicated staff to help with unemployment issues. 5. Be persistent: Keep calling and emailing. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. 6. Join local unemployment support groups on social media: They often have insider tips and can alert you to system updates. 7. Consider appealing: If you think there's been a mistake, don't hesitate to file an appeal. Remember, the system is overwhelmed right now, but don't give up. Your benefits are your right, and persistence usually pays off in the end. Good luck!

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the notifications end up there lol

I hate to say it, but 4 weeks is actually pretty quick these days. The backlog is insane. Hang in there!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team is more responsive.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for work while you wait? I know the job market sucks, but any income is better than no income, right?

Has anyone else noticed that the website is always 'under maintenance' when you try to log in late at night? It's like they don't want us to access our accounts or something. 🤔

guys i just got approved after 6 weeks of waiting!!! there's hope! hang in there!!! 💪💪💪
