EDD payments stuck on pending - need help ASAP!

I found a way to solve EDD pending payments issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZhmzdI6fe0

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was stuck in pending hell for weeks. Have you tried calling EDD? Sometimes they need additional info to push your claim through.

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

Have you checked your EDD inbox? Sometimes they send messages asking for additional documentation. If you miss those, your payments can get stuck in pending.

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. turns out there was an identity verification issue. Make sure all your docs are up to date and uploaded correctly. The whole system is a mess rn 😤

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call early in the morning, like 7:59 AM 2. If you get through, ask for a Tier 2 specialist 3. Be super nice to them (they deal with angry people all day) 4. Have all your info ready It took me a few tries, but I finally got my pending payments cleared. Good luck!

have u tried reaching out to ur local assembly member? they can sometimes expedite EDD issues. worth a shot if ur desperate

Oof, pending payments are the WORST. Hang in there, OP. The system is totally overwhelmed rn. Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes there's more info there.

I'm in the same boat. Been pending for 6 weeks now. This whole situation is ridiculous. We need to organize and demand better from EDD! 😡

Pro tip: if you're certifying online, avoid using certain phrases that might flag your account for review. Things like 'still looking for work' or 'no change' can sometimes trigger a manual review and delay payments.
