EDD Payment Delayed: Tips for Contacting Unemployment Office Without Visiting In-Person?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment contact issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkuTLt0Zx2A

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat for weeks now. It's like they're purposely making it impossible to reach them! 🤬

I actually found a method that worked for me! There's this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then forwards the call to you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through or at least get you in touch with the right person.

I swear the whole system is broken. I've been trying to get my payment for THREE MONTHS now. It's ridiculous!

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for way too long: 1. Keep detailed records of all your attempts to contact them. 2. Try calling at off-peak hours (early morning or late afternoon). 3. Use their online portal if possible for some issues. 4. Reach out to your local unemployment office directly. 5. Consider contacting your state representative or senator. 6. Join unemployment Facebook groups for your state - sometimes they have insider tips. 7. Be persistent and don't give up! Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together! 💪

lol good luck. i gave up and just got a new job. easier than dealing with this bureaucratic nightmare 🤡

Has anyone tried faxing? I know it sounds old school, but I've heard some people have had success getting attention that way.
