EDD Claim Pending After Certification - Need Review. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Certified on Sunday and still pending. This is so frustrating! 😤

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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you checked your UI Online account for any messages or requests for additional information? Sometimes they need more docs and don't tell you directly.

this happens ALL THE TIME. the EDD system is a joke. i swear they do this on purpose to make ppl give up 🤡

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep certifying every two weeks, even if it's pending. 2. Check your UI Online account daily for updates or messages. 3. Try calling early in the morning, right when they open. That's usually the best time to get through. 4. If you can't get through on the phone, send a message through your UI Online account. 5. As a last resort, contact your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push claims through. Don't give up! It's a frustrating process, but persistence usually pays off. Good luck!

anyone else notice that this always seems to happen right when rent is due? 🤔 coincidence? i think not

Pro tip: if u get someone on the phone, be super nice no matter how frustrated u are. The nice reps will sometimes go above and beyond to help u out

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in there system that was flagging a bunch of claims for review. It got sorted out after about a week without me having to do anything. Might be worth waiting a few more days before you start calling
