EDD account 'unavailable' after sending MD certification a month ago - no payment verification

I found a way to solve EDD claim status unavailable issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQH9_SXHXlM

Ugh, classic EDD nonsense. I swear they make it impossible on purpose. Have you tried reaching out to them directly? Sometimes you gotta be persistent and keep calling until you get a human on the line.

I had a similar issue last year. What worked for me was sending a follow-up email every week until I got a response. Be polite but firm, and include all relevant info in each email. It took about 3 weeks, but I finally got it sorted.

Hey, I found a method 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. It's worth a shot if you're not getting anywhere on your own.

Okay, let me break this down for you. I've been through the EDD wringer and come out the other side. Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and submissions. Include dates, times, and names if possible. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. Use that Claimyr service if you're desperate - it's worth the $20 if it saves you days of frustration. 3. Escalate. If you're not getting anywhere with regular reps, ask to speak to a supervisor or manager. 4. Reach out to your local assemblyperson or state senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with EDD issues. 5. Use social media. Sometimes tweeting at EDD or posting on their Facebook can get their attention. 6. Consider filing a complaint with the state labor board if it's been an unreasonable amount of time. 7. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for unemployment support. Sometimes you can get insider tips or at least moral support. Remember, the system is overwhelmed, but that doesn't mean you should give up. Stay persistent and document everything. Good luck!

lol welcome to the club. been waiting 3 months here. EDD is a joke 🤡

Have you checked if there are any updates or known issues on the EDD website? Sometimes they post alerts about system problems or delays.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing your documents? I know it's 2023, but sometimes these government agencies are stuck in the stone age. It worked for me when nothing else did.
