EDD payment still pending, no updates on account. What to do next?
Hey everyone, I'm having the same issue again with my EDD payment. It's still pending and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this lately? I've already checked my online account but there's no new updates or messages. Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel ya. EDD's been a nightmare lately. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

•Pro tip: call right when they open. Set an alarm and start dialing at 7:59 AM. It's worked for me before.

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

•20 bucks? That's steep. Is it really worth it?

•I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. And yeah, $20 sucks, but I was desperate.

•I used it too. Felt kinda weird paying to talk to EDD, but man, it beat calling 100 times a day.

Have you checked if there's any new certifications you need to complete? Sometimes that can hold up payments.

•Preach! 🙌 EDD needs to get its act together. We're not asking for handouts, just what we're owed!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep certifying every two weeks, even if payments are pending. 2. Check your inbox daily for any new messages or requests. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting them through UI Online. 4. Reach out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes expedite things. 5. Make sure all your personal info is up to date in the system. 6. If you have any changes in income or employment, report them immediately. 7. Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact EDD. Hope this helps! Don't give up, sometimes it just takes persistence.

Anyone else notice that EDD seems to have more issues right after holidays? Wonder if it's because of staff shortages or something.
