EDD Payment Delay: Certified 2 Weeks Ago, Still No Benefits. Help!

Ugh, I feel you. I've been in the same boat before. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? Sometimes there's a hold on your account that needs to be cleared.

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was an issue with my identity verification. Check your online account to see if there are any pending tasks or messages from EDD.

The system is so broken rn. I've been waiting for 6 weeks and still nothing. This is ridiculous! 🤬

Hey, 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account for any pending tasks or messages. 2. Make sure all your certifications are completed correctly. 3. Verify your identity if you haven't already (they've been extra strict lately). 4. If possible, try to contact them through email or their online messaging system. 5. Keep certifying every two weeks, even if you haven't been paid yet. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off.

have u checked ur bank account? sometimes it shows up there before the EDD website updates

Bruh, welcome to the club. EDD is a joke rn 🤡

This might sound weird, but try reaching out to them on Twitter. I've seen some people get responses that way.

Make sure you're answering all the certification questions correctly. One wrong answer can delay everything.
