If you’re currently receiving unemployment benefits from the California Employment Development Department (EDD), you may have come across a status on your claim history that reads “Pending Payment”. This can be frustrating and concerning, especially if you were expecting to receive your benefits shortly after certifying for your weeks of unemployment.
The Pending Payment status typically means that the EDD is still in the process of determining your eligibility for benefits or verifying your identity. If this is the case, you may receive a notice from the EDD requesting additional documentation to verify your identity or employment status. It’s important to respond to these notices promptly and provide all necessary informaion to avoid any further delays in processing your claim.
It’s also important to note that if you withhold or provide false information to receive benefits, such as not reporting work or wages, you are committing fraud. This can lead to serious consequences, including having to repay any benefits received and potential legal action.
If you do not receive a payment within 10 days of certifying, there may be an issue with your claim. In this case, it’s best to contact the EDD directly to inquire about the status of your claim and any necessary steps you need to take to resolve any issues.
It’s important to remember that any pending payments for weeks of unemployment before the expiration of benefits will be processed retroactively if you are found eligible and did not receive conditional payments. You will be notified about what to expect based on your claim type.
If you find yourself with a Pending Payment status on your EDD claim history, it’s important to remain patient and responsive to any requests for additional information from the EDD. Remember to always provide truthful and accurate information to avoid any potential fraud charges. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact the EDD directly for assistance.
Understanding the Reasons for a Pending EDD Payment After Certification
If your EDD payment is pending after certification, it may be due to a number of reasons. In some cases, the EDD may need to verify your identity or eligibility before releasing the payment. This could happen if there is a discrepancy in the information provided on your claim, or if there is a suspected case of fraud.
Another reason why your EDD payment may be pending is if there are technical issues with the system. This could be due to system maintenance or updates, which can cause delays in processing payments. Additionally, there may be a backlog of claims due to high volume of applications during peak periods.
It’s important to note that pending payments can also occur if you did not answer all of the questions on your certification correctly, or if you missed your certification deadline. If this is the case, you may need to contact the EDD to resolve the issue and ensure that you receive your payment.
If you have a pending EDD payment, it’s recommended that you check your UI OnlineSM Claim History for any updates on the status of your claim. You may also receive notifications or requests for additional information from the EDD, which you should respond to promptly in order to avoid furter delays.
How Long Does EDD Certification Pending Take?
The length of time it takes for a certification to be processed and move from pending status to paid status can vary. Typically, it can take up to 10 days for the certification to be reviewed and approved. However, if there are any issues with your claim, such as missing information or eligibility concerns, it may take longer to process. It is important to regularly check your claim status and any messages from the EDD to address any issues promptly. You can do this by logging into your UI Online account or by contacting the EDD directly.

It’s important to regularly certify for benefits online to ensure that you continue to receive your payments on time. If you have any questions about the status of your claim, you can check the EDD website or contact their customer service line for further assistance.
