Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.
Ugh, I feel your pain. I had to deal with this last year and it was a NIGHTMARE. Took me three months to finally get my checks. Hang in there!
I swear the EDD is run by sloths or something. How hard is it to process a claim in a reasonable timeframe? 🤬
Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you've been certifying for benefits regularly, even if you're not currently receiving them. It can affect your ability to reopen the claim smoothly.

Have you checked if there's an issue with your identity verification? That held up my payments for weeks until I uploaded the right documents.

•I didn't even think of that. How do I check if there's an identity verification issue?

•Log into your UI Online account and look for any messages or alerts. If there's an identity issue, it should be pretty clear. You might need to use ID.me to verify your identity.

Guys, I heard theres a glitch in the system affecting payments for claims filed in January. Might be worth mentioning when you finally get through to someone.

•My cousin works for EDD (I know, I know, trust me bro). But seriously, she mentioned they're dealing with a lot of January claims being stuck.
