EDD Direct Deposit Rejected: How to Get Cancelled Payments Reissued?

I found a way to solve rejected unemployment payments reissue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RsyVcvl7Sc

Have you tried updating your bank info online? Sometimes that can trigger a reissue automatically. Worth a shot before you spend hours on hold!

Hot take: what if we all just agreed to stop paying taxes until they fix this mess? No taxation without proper administration! 🇺🇸

Has anyone else noticed that the hold music for EDD is like, the most depressing thing ever? It's like they're trying to make us give up before we even talk to someone 🎵😭

Guys, I know it's frustrating, but remember: this too shall pass. Stay positive, keep trying, and don't let the system get you down. We're all in this together! 💪❤️

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but sometimes it gets their attention faster than calling or emailing

Guys I'm so fed up with EDD I'm thinking of starting a protest. Who's with me? We could all show up at their office with our on-hold music blasting. Maybe then they'll get how frustrating this is! 🔊🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶

Hey everyone, just a reminder to be kind to the EDD reps when you do get through. They're dealing with an overloaded system too and probably get yelled at all day. A little kindness goes a long way!

If you're finding it difficult to get through to the unemployment office, you might consider using Claimyr's services. They offer a tool to help you navigate the complex phone systems, making it easier to reach a representative. However, it's important to be aware of the cost and weigh it against other free alternatives you might have. Documentation, keeping track of all interactions, and considering directly visiting an EDD office if accessible are also great approaches. Local representatives can be a good resource as well — they can sometimes expedite your process. While Claimyr is a valid option, it's always good to consider all avenues to find what works best for your situation.

unpopular opinion: maybe if we all stopped relying on government handouts and just got jobs, we wouldn't have these problems 🤷‍♂️

PSA: If you're having trouble with EDD, document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your calls, take screenshots of your account, save all emails. You never know when you might need to prove you've been trying to resolve an issue.

Thanks for the detailed advice! I'll definitely try calling early. Any idea how long it usually takes for them to reissue the payments once you get through?

Hey guys, 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 the link: https://claimyr.com

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate the unemployment system? 🎓🤡 Maybe we should start a support group: 'EDD Survivors Anonymous' 😂

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we have to jump through all these hoops just to get money we're entitled to? the government needs to get its act together fr 🤦‍♂️

Ugh, been there done that. The EDD system is a nightmare. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call them first thing in the morning, like right when they open. 2. Have all your info ready - claim number, dates of rejected payments, etc. 3. Be super nice to the rep, even if you're frustrated. They deal with angry people all day. 4. Ask specifically for a 'payment reissue' due to returned funds. 5. Make sure they have your correct banking info before you hang up. 6. Get a confirmation number or the name of who you spoke with. Good luck! It might take a few tries, but don't give up.

Anyone else feel like they deserve a medal for navigating the EDD system? Olympic-level patience required 🥇

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you keep documentation of EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you might need to prove you've been trying to resolve this. The system is designed to wear you down, but don't give up! You've got this! 💪

Guys, I hate to be that person, but have you considered reaching out to your local representative? I was stuck in EDD hell for months until I contacted my assemblyman's office. They have special liaisons who can cut through the red tape. Just a thought!

Update: I tried calling this morning and got through after only 2 hours on hold! The rep was actually super helpful. They're reissuing the payments and said it should take about 10 business days. Fingers crossed! Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always 'down for maintenance' when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.

This happened to me last year. It was a nightmare. I ended up having to go to my local EDD office in person to get it sorted out. Took all day but at least it got fixed. Might be worth a shot if you're not having any luck on the phone.

I went through the exact same thing a few months ago! My bank rejected the deposit because I had moved and forgot to update my address with them. What worked for me was calling EDD right at 8 AM when they open - I got through in about 45 minutes. Make sure you have your claim number handy and be ready to explain that the payments show as "cancelled" due to bank rejection. The rep was able to reissue them as a debit card payment instead, which arrived about a week later. Don't give up - you're entitled to that money!

I had the same issue with rejected direct deposits! What saved me was immediately logging into my EDD account and switching to the debit card option while I was waiting to get through on the phone. That way if the reissue takes forever, at least future payments won't get rejected. Also, pro tip - if your bank rejected it once, they might do it again even after you fix the info, so the debit card might be your safest bet. The whole system is frustrating but hang in there! 💪

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now! My direct deposit got rejected because my bank account was frozen (long story), and now I'm seeing those dreaded "cancelled" payments in my account too. It's been about 3 weeks since I first noticed it. From reading everyone's responses, it sounds like calling early morning is key, but I'm also going to try updating my payment method to the debit card option online first. Has anyone had success getting multiple cancelled payments reissued at once, or do they make you request each one separately? Just trying to prepare for when I finally get through to someone!
