EDD Direct Deposit Delay: Certified but No Payment in Bank Account. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat! 🚢 It's been almost two weeks since I certified and still nothing. The EDD website says it's been processed, but my bank account is emptier than a clown's 🤡 piggy bank. This is so frustrating!

I had this problem last month. Turns out there was a hold on my account because they needed to verify my identity again. Check your UI Online inbox for any messages or notices. If you see anything about identity verification, take care of it ASAP!

Hey guys, I found a method 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with EDD for over a year now, and here's what I've learned: • Always certify on time, even if you haven't been paid for previous weeks • Check your UI Online account daily for updates or messages • If you see a 'pending' status for more than a week, there's likely an issue • Keep all your employment documents handy in case they ask for verification • If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting them through AskEDD on the website • Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office for help • Document everything: dates you certified, called, or sent messages Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up, and don't be afraid to be a squeaky wheel. Good luck everyone!

Has anyone else noticed that the delays seem to be worse at the beginning of the month? I wonder if it's because theres more claims to process or something.

I'm so done with EDD 🤮 Every time I think I've got it figured out, something else goes wrong. It's like they're playing whack-a-mole with our lives.

Quick question for everyone: has anyone successfully set up direct deposit recently? I'm wondering if switching from the debit card might help speed things up.
