How to check EDD claim status and payment info? Submitted 3 weeks ago, no updates

Ugh, I feel ya. The waiting game is the worst. Have you tried calling them? That's usually the fastest way to get an update.

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/0UZGuPWGErg

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before they actually send out any notifications.

I've been in the same boat, waiting for weeks. It's ridiculous how long it takes. I finally got through on the phone after calling 50+ times, and they told me there was a "processing delay." Whatever that means. 🙄

Ok, here's what I've learned from dealing with this system for way too long: 1. Online updates are hit or miss. Check, but don't rely on them. 2. Calling is your best bet, but it's a pain. Try early mornings or late afternoons. 3. If you can't get through, try the callback option if they have one. 4. Sometimes sending a message through their online portal can work, but responses are slow. 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Hang in there, OP. The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? systems broken af

Hey OP, when exactly did you submit your claim? There's been some changes to processing times recently.

Pro tip: if you're gonna call, use a landline if possible. For some reason, I always have better luck getting through on my home phone than my cell. 🤷‍♂️

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on Facebook can get a response. Worth a shot!
