If your unemployment status says "outstanding," this typically means that there's an issue that needs to be resolved before payments can be made. Here are a few possible reasons: 1. Pending verification: There might be information that EDD needs to verify before releasing your benefits. This could include your identity, your previous employment, or your eligibility for unemployment benefits. You should call them in this case, or use claimyr.com to reach them. 2. Awaiting certification: If you have not yet been certified for benefits for a particular period, the payment may be marked as "outstanding." Certifying for benefits typically involves answering a series of questions to confirm your eligibility for that week or weeks. 3. Appeals or disputes: If you've recently appealed a decision made by EDD, your payments might be on hold until the appeal process is complete. 4. While you have a remaining balance in your unemployment claim, the funds aren't automatically disbursed to you. They are paid out as weekly or bi-weekly benefits, and certain conditions must be met for these disbursements to occur. The best way to clarify the reason for the "outstanding" status is to directly contact the EDD. This website, claimyr.com has a connection to the EDD and will get an agent on the phone for you. On the call, the EDD agent can provide specific information about your claim and guide you on any steps you may need to take. Remember to keep certifying for benefits according to your state's schedule and to promptly respond to any requests for additional information.
