EDD not paying unemployment benefits - weeks with no payment, what to do?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otdZMqTeaoU

Same boat here 🚣‍♀️ Its been over a month for me. Have you tried calling them? I've been trying but can never get through 😤

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

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there and you might miss important info.

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting 2 months for my first payment. Apparently there's a huge backlog due to all the fraud last year. Hang in there!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your info on the EDD website. Make sure everything is correct and up-to-date. 2. Look for any pending tasks or requests for additional info. Sometimes they need more docs but don't make it obvious. 3. If you can, try to get through on the phone. Keep calling, be persistent. 4. Check if your bank info is correct. Sometimes payments get returned if there's an issue with your account. 5. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Hope this helps! The system is overwhelmed but don't give up. You'll get your money eventually.

have u tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might work better than actually trying to use their system lol 🐐

This happened to me too. Turns out there was an identity verification issue. Had to upload more documents. Check ur UI Online account for any pending tasks.
