EDD UI claim stuck in pending for 1+ month, automated system says no claim - help?

I found a way to solve pending unemployment claim issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjhMFNoOXgY

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds crazy in 2023, but I've heard some people have had success with that method. Apparently, faxed docs get processed faster sometimes. 🤷‍♂️

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting for 6 weeks now. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. Have you tried contacting your local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.

Here's what you need to do to get this resolved: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates, times, and any reference numbers. 2. Check your UI Online account: Make sure all your information is correct and up-to-date. Sometimes small errors can cause big delays. 3. Contact EDD directly: Call early in the morning, right when they open. Be persistent and try multiple days if necessary. 4. Reach out to your state representative: They can often help expedite claims that are stuck in the system. 5. Consider filing an appeal: If your claim has been pending for an unreasonable amount of time, you may be able to file an appeal. 6. Use social media: Sometimes tweeting at the EDD's official account can get their attention. Remember, the system is overwhelmed right now, so patience is key. But don't give up - you're entitled to these benefits!

Have you tried the "Ask EDD" feature on the website? Sometimes you can get a response faster that way than by calling. It's not perfect, but it's another option to try.

Have you checked if there's a flag on your account? Sometimes they put a stop payment flag and don't even notify you. It's like they WANT us to fail 🙄

I had a similar issue. Turns out there was a problem with my identity verification. Did you complete the ID.me process? If not, that might be why it's stuck in pending.

Have you tried asking the EDD staff about any pending issues directly by visiting an EDD office? While it may involve long waits, physically being present can sometimes expedite solutions.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried sending a handwritten letter? My cousin swears it worked for him. Said something about how it stands out in the digital age. Worth a shot, I guess? 🤷‍♀️✉️

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 the URL: https://claimyr.com

I hate to be that person, but have you double-checked that you're eligible? I thought I was good to go, but turns out I didn't have enough work history in my base period. Took me forever to figure that out. 😓

Bruh, the EDD is a joke. I've been waiting 3 months and still nothing. At this point, I'm considering selling my kidney on the black market. Anyone know the going rate? 🤔💰
