EDD Payment Stuck on Pending - Need Help ASAP!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My payment has been pending for 3 weeks now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling the EDD? That's what I'm planning to do, but I hear it's nearly impossible to get through.

I found a method to 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 know about pending payments: 1. Common reasons for pending status: - Identity verification issues - Eligibility questions - System glitches 2. What to do: - Check your UI Online account for any notifications or requests for additional information - Verify that all your information is up-to-date and accurate - If possible, upload any requested documents through the portal 3. Contacting EDD: - Try calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon - Use the online contact form if you can't get through by phone - Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office for assistance 4. Be patient but persistent. Sometimes payments get stuck in the system and resolve on their own, but don't hesitate to follow up if it's been more than 2-3 weeks. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

have you checked ur bank info in the edd portal? my payment was pending cuz i had an old account linked 🤦‍♂️

It's probably because of the new ID verification system they implemented. I had to upload like 10 different documents before they finally approved me. Such a headache!

Anyone else notice that these issues always seem to happen right when rent is due? It's like they time it on purpose to stress us out maximum 🙃

Hey OP, how long has your payment been pending? I've heard they're dealing with a backlog from the holidays still.

Pro tip: if you cant get thru on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes they respond faster there. Just don't share any personal info publicly!

This whole system is a joke. We need to organize and demand better service. Who's with me? ✊

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out and back in to your edd account can refresh things. worth a shot!
