EDD Certification Issues: Weekend Woes & Need Advice
Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with certifying for unemployment. The EDD office is closed for the weekend, and I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else run into issues with certifying recently? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

Ugh, certifying can be such a pain! I've had issues before too. Have you tried using the online system? Sometimes it's easier than calling.

Yeah, I tried online but it kept giving me an error. I guess I'll have to wait until Monday to call 😩

Online system is trash tbh. Always crashing when you need it most 🙄

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Time is money, and I was wasting so much time trying to get through.

Have you checked your account status? Sometimes there's a hold that prevents certification. Might be worth looking into before you call.

Here's what I've learned about certifying after dealing with EDD for months: • Always certify as soon as it's available, usually Sunday at midnight • Double-check all your answers before submitting • If you worked at all, report ANY income, even if it's just a few bucks • Keep a record of your certification confirmation number • If the online system fails, try again in a few hours • For persistent issues, calling is usually the best bet (as frustrating as it is) • Consider using UI Online Mobile if the website gives you trouble Hope this helps! Hang in there, we're all in the same boat 🚢

Pro tip: if you can't certify online, try calling the automated phone system. Sometimes it works when the website doesn't!
