EDD payment stuck on pending - need help ASAP!

I found a way to solve pending unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv7Lp3VaadU

Ugh, I feel you. I've been in the same boat. Have you checked if it's because of identity verification? That was my issue.

It could also be due to a recent job change. Did you start working part-time or anything like that recently?

The system is so broken rn. I've been waiting for weeks and can't get anyone on the phone. This is ridiculous!

Hey, 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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what I've learned from dealing with pending payments: 1. Check your account for any notifications about identity verification or additional information needed. 2. Make sure you've certified for benefits correctly and on time. 3. If you've had any change in income or employment status, report it immediately. 4. Try to contact them through multiple channels - phone, email, and even social media. 5. Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact them and any responses you receive. 6. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite the process. 7. Be patient (I know it's hard) and persistent. The system is overwhelmed, but they will get to your case. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting a bunch of claims. It resolved itself after about 10 days. Might be worth waiting a bit longer before you panic.

guys. i literaly just got of the phone with them. aparently theres a huge backlog bc of some new verification process. they said itll take 4-6 weeks to clear everyones claims. FML
