EDD UI Missing Payments for Weeks - How to Contact and Resolve?
Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with missing payments from unemployment. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure what to do and could really use some advice. It's been a few weeks since I last received a payment and I'm starting to get worried. Any tips on how to handle this or who to contact?

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. (https://claimyr.com

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

I get the skepticism, but it's totally legit. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny IMO.

It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to do anything. Just got a call when an agent was ready. Way better than constantly redialing myself!

While Claimyr is a helpful tool, it's important to remember that there are free methods to try first, like checking your UI Online account or calling the employer line.

OK, listen up folks. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to know about missing payments: 1. First, double-check your UI Online account. Make sure all your certifications are up to date and there are no pending questionnaires. 2. If everything looks good online, it's probably an issue on EDD's end. Could be identity verification, a flag on your account, or just a backlog. 3. Calling is usually necessary, but it's a nightmare. Best times to call are right when they open or about an hour before closing. 4. If you can't get through, try the trick of calling the employer line and then asking to be transferred to claims. 5. Document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of when you call, who you talk to, and what they say. This can be crucial if things get messy. 6. As a last resort, contact your local rep or the EDD ombudsman. They can sometimes work miracles. 7. Be patient but persistent. The system is overloaded, but squeaky wheels do get the grease. Remember, you're not alone in this. The EDD system is a mess, but keep pushing and you'll get your money. Good luck!

Have you tried contacting your local assemblymember or state senator? They can sometimes help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot if you're really stuck.

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there's info there about why payments are delayed. Could be identity verification or some other issue.

Thanks for the suggestion! I checked but didn't see anything unusual. Just says "pending" for the last few weeks. 😕

Pending usually means they need more info. You might have to call and talk to a rep to figure out whats going on. Good luck!

Took me like 3 weeks of constant calling. I swear I coulda written a novel with all the time I spent on hold. 📚 Keep trying tho, eventually you'll get lucky!

Maybe try calling at different times of the day, like right when they open. Sometimes that helps in getting through faster.

Has anyone tried the new chatbot on the EDD website? I heard it can sometimes help with simple issues without having to call.

I tried it. It's ok for basic stuff but for anything complicated you still gotta call. Better than nothing I guess 🤷♂️

One thing you might consider is using Claimyr, which is a service that helps you connect with a real person at EDD by essentially waiting on hold for you. This service can be a game-changer when you're stuck with constant busy signals. However, it costs $20. Although some people find it worth the investment for its efficiency, you should weigh the cost against your financial situation. It's also crucial to continue trying other free resources, like your UI Online account, local representative, or EDD chatbot. And as always, maintain a record of your interactions, as this can support your case if you encounter further discrepancies.

Claimyr sounds useful, but I'm not sure about the cost. I'll try some free methods first and keep this as a backup.

Anyone else feel like the EDD is just a big game of whack-a-mole? Fix one problem and another pops up. 🙃 It's exhausting.

For real. I'm convinced they're trying to discourage people from claiming benefits. Stay strong everyone!

I think it's just understaffing and outdated systems. But you're right, it does feel like a never-ending cycle.

Ive been in the same boat. Its rly frustrating. Make sure u keep certifying even if ur not getting paid. That way when they fix it youll get backpay for all those weeks. Hang in there!

That's so true! Don't let those weeks slip by without certifying. It's crucial for back pay!
