Here's what worked for me: 1. Call exactly at 8:00 AM when they open 2. If you get the 'too many callers' message, hang up and redial immediately 3. Keep doing this until you get into the queue 4. Once in the queue, DO NOT HANG UP no matter how long the wait 5. Have all your info ready when you finally get through It took me about 20 attempts over 3 days, but I finally got through. Stay persistent!
Wow, thanks for the detailed strategy! I'll definitely give this a try. Fingers crossed it works for me too!
Pro tip: If you can, go to their office in person. Sometimes face-to-face interaction can solve problems that seem impossible over the phone or fax.
This! I did this last year and it was a game changer. Bring all your docs with you tho
Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape.
Unpopular opinion: the system isn't broken, ppl just don't know how to navigate it properly ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Found the EDD employee lol
Quick question - how long ago did you submit your initial claim? There's been a huge backlog since covid, so timeframes are all over the place
It's been about 3 weeks now. Is that normal?
Unfortunately, yeah. I've heard of some taking 6-8 weeks lately. Hang in there!
Has anyone tried faxing the cert instead of mailing it? I heard it might be faster but idk if thats true
I tried faxing once. Big mistake. They lost it and I had to start all over. Stick to mail or online if possible.
Faxing worked for me! But make sure you keep the confirmation page.
Just a heads up, there's been some changes to the process recently. Make sure you're using the most up-to-date forms from their website. Learned that the hard way ๐

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my old address and all the mail was getting returned. Double check your contact info is up to date!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes it gets through faster than mail or online submissions.

โขFaxing? What year is it? ๐ But seriously, I'll try anything at this point. Thanks for the suggestion!
