EDD payment stuck at same date for two weeks - worried about claim freeze

Prolly identity verification issue. Happens all the time wen they think ur someone else. Check ur inbox, they mightve sent u something that u missed

This could be caused by several things: 1) a quarterly review of your claim that sometimes happens at the beginning of the year, 2) a pending eligibility interview that wasn't scheduled yet, or 3) a system glitch where your certification was received but not processed. Here's what I recommend: - Check the status of your certification (does it say "pending" or "paid"?) - Look at your claim history to see if there's any message about a "determination" or "interview" - If your certification shows "pending" for more than 10 days, you definitely need to speak with a claims specialist Unfortunately, the regular EDD phone staff often can't see or resolve these issues - you need to speak with a Tier 2 claims specialist.

THE EXACT SAME THING is happening to me right now!!! Jan 11 payment and nothing since then even though i certified on time! I called 14 TIMES today and couldn't get through. The system is obviously broken and they don't care about us at all. I'm about to lose my apartment because of this!!!

I went through this exact situation in November. The problem was that my quarterly earnings were being reviewed, which happens automatically with most claims. The system didn't tell me this was happening - it just looked like my payment was stuck. If your certification shows as "received" but not "paid," that's the key indicator that there's a review or hold. The only way to resolve it is to speak with a Tier 2 specialist who can see what's specifically holding up your claim. I struggled for days to reach someone helpful until I used Claimyr (claimyr.com). It's a service that helps you get through to an EDD representative without spending hours redialing. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. The service got me connected to a specialist who saw that my claim needed to be manually released from review. The money was in my account the next day.

has anyone else noticed that these delays always seem to happen after holidays? i swear after christmas and new years the system always gets backed up. not saying thats whats happening but just throwing it out there

Did your claim happen to reach the end of a benefit year recently? When I had a similar issue last month, it turned out my benefit year had ended and the system was automatically reviewing my claim before beginning a new benefit year. The representative had to manually override something to get my payments flowing again. Also, double-check that your certification answers didn't accidentally trigger a review. Even small inconsistencies between certifications can cause the system to flag your account. Things like reporting different job search activities or answering work availability questions differently can cause delays. If you can't get specific answers by phone, consider using the Contact EDD function in your UI Online account to send a message specifically asking about the payment delay. Sometimes the written inquiries get more detailed responses than phone calls.

I had delay like this once. Did you get new Money Network card recently? Mine switch over and payment went to new card but website didnt update for like 3 weeks lol

Quick update based on your responses: since your certification shows as "received" but not "paid" after two weeks, and there's no message about an interview or determination, this is definitely something that needs specialist attention. The Contact EDD message is a good start, but you'll likely need to speak with someone. If you've tried calling the main number repeatedly without success, request a callback through your UI Online account or try calling right when they open (8:00 AM). The quarterly review theory seems most likely given the January timing. Once you reach a claims specialist, specifically ask them to check if your claim is under quarterly review and if they can manually release the payment.

Anyone got their payment yet??? Still nothing on my end!!! This is RIDICULOUS!!!

UPDATE: Finally got this resolved! I used that Claimyr service to get through this morning and spoke with a Tier 2 specialist. Turns out my claim WAS under quarterly review - you were right! The specialist said January is when they conduct a lot of these reviews, and mine got flagged because I had some part-time work in October. Once she verified everything, she manually released the payment and said it should be on my Money Network card within 24-48 hours. She also said if I hadn't called, it might have taken another week to clear automatically. Thanks everyone for the help!
