EDD payment 3 weeks late - what to do?
My unemployment payment is three weeks overdue. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting worried and don't know what to do. Should I call EDD or just wait it out? Any advice would be appreciated.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. My payment has been delayed for almost a month now. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling them? I've been trying but can never get through.

Calling is a nightmare. I spent hours on hold and still got nowhere. 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. Sometimes you can get through faster.

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/0UZGuPWGErg

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Yeah, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

How long did it take for them to call you back?

It took about 2 hours for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still way better than doing it yourself!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a record of when your payments were due and when you last received one. 2. Check your UI Online account for any messages or notices. 3. Try to contact EDD through multiple channels - phone, email, and even social media. 4. If you can't get through, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 5. Be persistent but patient. The system is overwhelmed, but they will eventually get to your case. 6. If you're in dire financial straits, look into local resources for temporary assistance. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is frustrating, but don't give up!

Three weeks? That's nothing. I've been waiting for TWO MONTHS. The system is completely broken. 🤬

Dude, that sucks. Have you tried contacting your local assemblyperson? I've heard they can sometimes help.

Yeah, I did. They said they'd "look into it" but I haven't heard anything back. It's a joke.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a problem with my identity verification. Double-check that all your docs are up to date in the system.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check that. How did you find out about the identity verification issue?

I finally got through to someone on the phone and they told me. It was a quick fix once I knew what the problem was.

Hey OP, have you checked if there's been any changes to your claim status? Sometimes they require additional info and don't notify you properly.

Idk man, protests never seem to change anything. We need to vote for better leadership.
