EDD Benefits Continuation Status - Anyone Actually Getting Through?

I found a way to solve benefits continuation delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WBlfPNRCwE

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they don't even want to help us 🙄

I found a method that actually works to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: • Call right when they open at 8 am. Your chances are better. • If you get through, ask for a direct extension or email for follow-ups. • Keep a log of all your calls and attempts to contact them. • Check your online account regularly for updates. • If possible, visit a local office in person. Hope this helps someone! Stay persistent, y'all. 💪

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they're hoping we'll just stop trying to get our benefits...

Pro tip: if you're on Twitter, try tweeting at their official account. Sometimes they respond faster there because it's public
