EDD Payment Delay: No UI Check for Over a Month - What to Do?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqN1DHJ4r7w

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last year. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? Sometimes there's a hold on your account that you don't know about.

Check your online account if you haven't already. Sometimes there's a message or request for additional info that can hold up your payment.

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 if theres been any changes to the unemployment system recently? Sometimes they update stuff and it causes delays. Might be worth looking into.

Okay, let me break this down for you. I've been through this rodeo before, and here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check your online account for any pending issues or requests for information. Sometimes they need additional docs and don't make it obvious. 2. If everything looks good online, it's time to contact them directly. Yes, it's a pain, but necessary. 3. Try calling first thing in the morning, right when they open. Be prepared to wait. 4. If calling doesn't work, send an email through their online portal. Be specific about your issue and include your claim number. 5. Reach out to your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with unemployment issues. 6. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 7. Check if there have been any system updates or changes that might be causing delays. 8. If all else fails, consider using a paid service like the one mentioned earlier to get through to a human. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but you'll get your money eventually. Hang in there! 💪

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 good luck getting your $$$

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

Ive been waiting for 3 months now. The system is completely broken. I'm about ready to give up tbh

This might sound weird, but have you tried faxing them? I know it's 2023, but I got a response within a week after sending a fax. Seems like they prioritize it for some reason.
