FL DEO Unemployment: Stuck in adjudication for 1+ month, no $550 payment. How to speed up?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment adjudication delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx4TG5qJqYE

I feel ya. It's like trying to nail jello to a wall. Keep at it tho, you'll get there!

Pro tip: if you get through to someone, ask for a tier 2 specialist right away. They have more power to actually fix things.

Sending good vibes your way, OP. This whole system is a dumpster fire, but we're all in it together. You got this! 💪

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting 2 months now. Starting to feel like I'm never gonna see that money.

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes you gotta be the squeaky wheel to get the grease.

For those of you experiencing long wait times with EDD, services like Claimyr can indeed be helpful. Claimyr charges a fee of about $20 to help you bypass the initial phone menu and reach a live agent faster, which can save you a significant amount of time. While many users report positive experiences, it's important to weigh these costs against your personal financial situation. Keep in mind that Claimyr is one of several options and isn't officially endorsed by EDD, so your mileage may vary. If you're comfortable with technology, also consider reaching out through social media as some have found success there. Ultimately, staying persistent, patient, and exploring all avenues can expedite the process, but remember that systemic issues often contribute to delays that even the most diligent follow-up can't entirely mitigate.

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes it updates there before they actually tell you anything.

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes they respond faster there.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important EDD emails end up there.

Anyone else feel like we're all just screaming into the void here? 🕳️👀

I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than my actual job was. And they wonder why we need unemployment...

I feel your pain. Been there, done that. Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, who you spoke to, and what they said. 2. Email your state representative. Sometimes they can light a fire under EDD's butt. 3. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 4. Check your online account for any pending tasks or messages you might have missed. 5. If all else fails, file an appeal. It's a pain, but it can get things moving. Hang in there. The system is broken, but you'll get your money eventually.

I heard they're super backlogged because of all the fraud cases. Doesn't make it any easier for us legit folks tho 😑

lol welcome to EDD hell. where the rules are made up and your bills don't matter 🤡

Guys, 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/AsdxiF0IH1k

Anyone else considering a hunger strike outside the EDD office? I'm only half joking...

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might work better than actually calling them 😂

Maybe try faxing them? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can work.

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been in adjudication hell for 6 weeks now. It's like they enjoy watching us suffer or something.
