EDD claim processed but no payment received - what to do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been weeks since my claim was 'processed' and still nothing in my account. This system is so broken 😤

I found a way 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 checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's more info there that can help explain the delay.

This happened to me too. Turns out there was an identity verification issue I didn't know about. Definitely try to get someone on the phone if you can!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with this mess for months: 1. Keep checking your online account daily. Sometimes updates appear there before you get notified. 2. If you can, try to call first thing in the morning when they open. It's still a nightmare, but slightly better odds. 3. Check your spam folder regularly. Important emails sometimes end up there. 4. If you have a local unemployment office, try going in person. Some people have had luck that way. 5. Contact your local state representative. They sometimes can help push things through. 6. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online status change. It might come in handy. 7. Don't give up! It's frustrating as hell, but persistence usually pays off eventually. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you'll get through this!

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? 🤔 this whole system is a joke

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right at 8:01 am. That's how I finally got a human after weeks of trying!

Has anyone had luck with the online chat feature? I've been thinking of trying that instead of calling

Just a heads up, there's been a glitch in the system affecting some claims filed in the last month. Might be worth asking about that specifically if you get through to someone.
