EDD check misdelivered - what to do?

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? They should be able to help you track it down or reissue the check.

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 a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down when you were supposed to receive the check, when you noticed it was missing, etc. 2. Check with your local post office. Sometimes checks get returned there. 3. Contact the unemployment office ASAP. Use their online portal if you can't get through on the phone. 4. If you suspect theft, file a police report. 5. Ask about direct deposit for future payments. It's more secure. 6. Be patient but persistent. Keep following up until it's resolved. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

have you checked your informed delivery from usps? sometimes it shows up there even if you didnt get the physical mail

OMG this happened to me last month! It turned out my neighbor accidentally got my check and was on vacation for a week. Maybe check with your neighbors?

This is why I always opt for direct deposit. Way less hassle, and you get your money faster too.

The whole system is a joke. They make it so hard to get what we're owed. Hang in there, OP. 💪

idk if this helps, but last time I had an issue, I reached out to my state representative's office. They have liaisons who can sometimes cut through the red tape faster than we can on our own.
