EDD claim payment stuck on pending after certification, no one speaking when I answer calls. Help!

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. The EDD phone system is a nightmare. Have you tried certifying online? Sometimes that's faster than waiting for a call.

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. Double-check your certification answers. Make sure everything is accurate. 2. If you can, try to certify again online. Sometimes the system glitches. 3. Keep calling EDD. Use the trick of pressing # right away to skip the intro. 4. Check your EDD inbox for any messages about your claim. 5. If all else fails, contact your local assembly member's office. They can often help push claims through. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but persistence pays off. Good luck!

have you checked ur bank account? sometimes the website is slow to update but the $ is already there

Bruh, EDD is straight up 🤡 these days. I swear they're trying to make it impossible to get help. Hang in there!

I had the same issue last month. Turns out there was an identity verification problem on their end. Definitely try to speak with someone if you can. It might take a while, but it's worth it to get it sorted.
