EDD Suddenly Stopped Payments - No Explanation Given. What to Do?

I found a way to solve EDD payment stoppage issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq0ziuah3hs

Ugh, same boat here. EDD is a nightmare rn. Have you checked your online account for any messages or notifications? Sometimes they update stuff there without telling you.

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/0UZGuPWGErg

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when your payments stopped and any communication you've had with EDD. 2. Check your UI Online account for any pending forms or certifications. 3. If you can't find any issues online, you NEED to speak with a rep. Try calling right when they open or just before closing. 4. If you still can't get through, consider contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 5. While waiting, make sure you continue to certify for benefits every two weeks. 6. Check if there have been any recent policy changes that might affect your claim. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed but keep pushing. Good luck!

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week when I faxed my issue

Bruh, EDD is straight up playing games with our lives. I've been dealing with this bs for 3 months now. System's broken af 🤡

Hey OP, any chance you've worked any side gigs or reported any income recently? Sometimes that can trigger a hold on payments while they 'investigate'.

Plot twist: EDD is actually an elaborate social experiment to see how much stress humans can take before they snap 🤯

Has anyone tried the new chatbot on the EDD website? I heard it's supposed to help with issues like this.

Guys I think I cracked the code! If you call at exactly 8:01:37 AM while standing on one foot and reciting the pledge of allegiance backwards, you'll get through instantly! /s
