EDD payments stopped for 2 weeks despite on-time certification - what to do?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNswWtl6OCA

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been 3 weeks for me now. I've tried calling but can't get through to anyone. This is so frustrating!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you checked your EDD account online? Sometimes there are messages or updates there that explain payment delays.

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a flag on my account for "identity verification" even though I'd already done that. Had to upload docs again. Check if that's your issue too.

The EDD system is such a joke. They need to get there act together. People are suffering while they cant even process simple payments on time. 🤬

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your EDD account for any pending issues or required actions. 2. If nothing there, try to contact them through every available channel (phone, email, social media). 3. Document everything - dates you certified, when payments were supposed to come, any communication attempts. 4. If it goes on for more than 3 weeks, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They often have contacts at EDD and can help push things along. 5. Make sure your mailing address is up to date in case they're trying to send you something. 6. Double-check that your bank info hasn't changed. 7. If you've had any change in circumstances (started working part-time, moved, etc.), make sure you reported it properly. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but you'll get through eventually.

lol welcome to the club 🤡 EDD is a mess rn

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to improve the EDD system? Supposedly it'll make things faster, but idk if it'll actually help.

Pro tip: if you do get through on the phone, ask them to put a ticket in for your case. It creates a paper trail and sometimes speeds things up.
