EDD Payment Issues - Can't Get Through on Phone. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! EDD's phone system is a nightmare. I've been trying for weeks to get through. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone 🙄

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then sends the call to your phone when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member? They can sometimes help push things through with EDD. It's worth a shot if you're really stuck.

I've been dealing with payment issues for MONTHS now. The whole system is broken. They owe me thousands and I can't even get a straight answer on whats going on. Anyone else in the same boat?

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and interactions. 2. Use their online portal as much as possible. Sometimes issues can be resolved there. 3. If you do get through on the phone, ask for a reference number for your call. 4. Be persistent but polite. The reps are usually trying their best. 5. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 6. If all else fails, contact your local representatives or file a formal complaint. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

lol EDD more like EDDont amirite? 🤡

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to improve the EDD system? Supposedly it's gonna streamline everything but idk, sounds like more empty promises to me.
