EDD Card Still Not Received After Weeks - Need Advice!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat a few months ago. It took me almost 2 months to get my card! The system is so backed up right now, its ridiculous. Have you tried checking your status online?

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to your phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what worked for me: 1. Email your local state representative 2. Contact the EDD through their social media accounts 3. Keep calling early in the morning, right when they open It's a pain, but persistence is key. Don't give up!

have u tried going to the edd office in person? i heard sometimes that can speed things up

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system is a joke. 🤡

Pro tip: If you're really in a bind, you can request an emergency payment. Call and specifically ask for a "manual payment" or "off-line payment." They can issue it while you wait for your card. It's not guaranteed, but worth a shot if you're desperate.
