EDD payment delay over a week - holiday screwed everything up. Any advice?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The system is so broken rn. I've been waiting for my payment for 3 weeks now. Every time I call, they give me a different story. It's like they're playing hot potato with our money 🥔💸

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down every call, who you spoke to, and what they said. 2. Ask for a supervisor every time you call. Don't take no for an answer. 3. File a formal complaint through their website. 4. Contact your local representative and state senator. 5. If all else fails, reach out to local media. Sometimes public pressure can work wonders. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them wear you down. You're entitled to your money, and it's their job to make sure you get it. Good luck!

have u checked ur bank account details on file? sometimes they have old info and the payment bounces back. happened to me last year 🤦‍♂️

The whole system is a joke. They expect us to live on air while they 'process' our payments. I'm about ready to go down there and camp out until they pay me 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always get through within 15 minutes if I call at 8:01 AM sharp.

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes it updates there before they actually tell you anything on the phone.
