This is with a paper check, only. It means that a paper check has been sent to you. It will show "outstanding" until you cash it at your bank.

Did you get a paper check for unemployment or another type of EDD benefit? EDD unemployment only delivers a debit card in the mail and currently doesn't offer any direct deposit options.

Frankie, you would need to call and speak with a rep to change your payment method to a debit card. Here is a $5 discount link for first time callers using Claimyr https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

Outstanding" payment typically means that EDD has issued a payment but it'hasn t been processed or delivered yet. Since you mentioned you have a zero balance but were paid for 11 weeks, this could indicate'there s a pending payment in the system.'I d recommend calling EDD directly to clarify the status - sometimes there are delays or issues with payment processing that need to be resolved by a representative. You can also check if there are any holds or flags on your account that might be preventingpayment.

I had a similar issue with "outstanding payment" status. In my case, it turned out there was a verification hold on my account that wasn't clearly communicated. The payment was approved but stuck in processing. After finally getting through to a rep (took many attempts), they were able to release the hold and the payment came through within a few days. Definitely worth calling - sometimes these outstanding payments just need manual processing from their end. Don't give up on trying to reach them!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Mateo! This is really helpful to know. I'm dealing with a similar situation and it's been so frustrating not knowing what's going on. How many times did you have to call before you got through to someone? And did they give you any indication of how long the verification hold had been in place? I'm wondering if I should keep trying to call or if there's any other way to check for holds on the account.

I've been dealing with this exact issue for months! "Outstanding payment" can be really confusing because it doesn't always mean what you'd think. In addition to what others have mentioned about verification holds, it could also mean: 1. There's a pending identity verification that you might not have received notice about 2. Your bank account info needs updating if you had direct deposit set up 3. There's a wage audit or employer dispute that's holding up payments Since you haven't been paid since March but show 11 weeks paid, definitely call EDD. When you do get through, ask them to check for any "stops" or "flags" on your account. Also ask specifically about ID verification requirements - sometimes they send these requests to your UI Online inbox and people miss them. The fact that you received an email about payment is actually encouraging - it suggests the system is trying to process something for you. Keep documentation of everything and don't give up calling!

This is super helpful information! I'm new to dealing with EDD issues and had no idea there could be so many different reasons for an "outstanding payment" status. The point about checking the UI Online inbox for ID verification requests is particularly useful - I bet a lot of people miss those notifications. @AstroExplorer, do you know if there's a way to proactively check what type of hold or flag might be on an account before calling? Or is calling really the only way to get that specific information? I'm trying to prepare before I start the marathon of calling attempts! Also, for anyone else reading this - it sounds like keeping detailed records of when you last received payments and any emails from EDD is really important when you finally do get through to a rep.
