EDD certification disappeared after submitting - weeks vanished with 'no weeks to certify' message

I'm completely baffled by what just happened with my UI Online account. Yesterday I logged in to certify for my benefits as usual (for weeks ending 4/29 and 5/6). I went through all the certification questions for both weeks, entered all my work search activities, got to the confirmation screen, entered my zip code, and clicked submit. But instead of getting a confirmation number, I got redirected to a screen saying 'You do not have any weeks to certify. Check back after 5/12/2025 for your next available weeks.' Now there's absolutely NOTHING showing in my payment history for those two weeks I just certified for! It's like they completely vanished. Has anyone experienced this weird glitch? Did my certification actually go through despite the error message? Should I try to call EDD (ugh) or just wait until after 5/12 and see what happens? I'm worried my payment will be delayed and I can't afford that right now.

This happened to me back in January! The system was glitchy that day and it turned out my certification DID go through despite the error message. When I checked my UI Online account the next day, both weeks showed up as "pending" in my payment history. I'd recommend checking your homepage dashboard and payment history tomorrow - it might just need time to process in their system.

Thanks for giving me some hope! I've checked it three times today and still nothing showing up. I'll try again tomorrow morning. Do you remember how long it took before yours appeared in the system?

It's somewhat comforting to know I'm not alone, but also terrible that we're both in this situation! Have you tried calling EDD yet? Please update if you get any info!

The EDD system has been having all kinds of technical problems lately. I'm in an EDD Facebook group and at least 5 people reported the same issue in the past 48 hours. From what I can tell, this is happening because they're doing updates to UI Online. Most people are saying their certifications eventually processed correctly, but some had to recertify later. You should check these things: 1. Look in your inbox for any messages about your certification 2. Check your account history tab, not just payment history 3. Take screenshots of everything in case you need to prove you tried to certify on time

Thank you for the detailed advice! I checked my inbox and account history, but still nothing. I'll definitely take screenshots like you suggested. Do you know if the people in your Facebook group had to call EDD to resolve this, or did it fix itself?

This is why I HATE the EDD system!! Every time they do an "upgrade" something breaks. Last time I called about a similar issue they told me "just wait 48 hours and see if it resolves itself" which is the most useless advice ever when you're depending on that money. Call them ASAP - the longer you wait, the more backlogged your payment could get.

OMG yesssss!!! Remember when they did that big update in February and everyone's identity verification got reset? I couldn't get paid for THREE WEEKS because of their stupid "upgrade"! 🤬

After my certification disappered like yours did i went ahead and attempted to recertify but it wouldnt let me because the system thought i already had done it! Then 2 days later my weeks showed up as pending and then paid the next day. The EDD computers are from like 1985 lol

Their system really does seem ancient! I tried to recertify but got the same message about checking back after 5/12. I guess I'll give it another day or two before panicking completely.

I'd recommend calling EDD right away to report this issue. The system sometimes has these glitches where the certification appears to go through but gets stuck in a processing loop. An EDD representative can check if your certification was actually received and push it through manually if needed. The challenge is getting through on their phone lines. I had great success using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to connect with an EDD agent quickly instead of calling hundreds of times. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. It helped me resolve a similar certification issue within hours instead of waiting days or weeks hoping it would fix itself.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've been trying to call all morning with no luck - just constant busy signals. I'll check out that service you mentioned because I really can't afford to wait weeks for this to resolve itself.

UPDATE: I talked to someone at EDD today after 43 attempts calling. Apparently this is a known issue affecting certain accounts during certification. The agent confirmed my certifications WERE received despite the error message, but they're stuck in processing. She had to manually release them from the queue. Check your account again in 24-48 hours.

Thank you so much for the update! This is super helpful. I'm still trying to get through on the phone but now at least I know what to ask them to do when I finally reach someone. Did they give you any explanation for why this is happening?

They said something about a database synchronization problem between the certification system and the payment processing system. Basically the info gets stuck between systems. The rep also mentioned they're still working on fixing the issue so it doesn't keep happening. Good luck getting through!

UPDATE: Finally was able to speak with an EDD representative today! For anyone who has this problem in the future: my certifications DID go through despite the error message, but they were stuck in the system and needed to be manually released. The rep did something on their end and now both weeks are showing as "paid" in my account. She said they're aware of the technical issue and working on a fix. Thank you everyone for your help and advice!
