EDD Recertification Received? No Callback Yet - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out if my recertification was received by EDD. I've been waiting for a call back all day and still nothing. It's already past 1:45 PM and I'm in the Pacific time zone. Anyone know if there's an estimated time for when they usually call back? I'm getting worried that I might miss their call or something. This waiting game is driving me crazy!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last month. EDD's callback system is so frustrating. Have you tried checking your UI Online account? Sometimes they update the status there before they actually call you back.

Thanks for the tip! I've been refreshing my UI Online account like crazy, but no updates yet. š© Did you end up getting a call back the same day?

Yeah, I did get a call back the same day, but it was pretty late - like 4:30 PM. Hang in there! šŖ

I've heard they usually try to return calls within 24-48 hours, but it's not guaranteed. Keep your phone close and make sure you have good reception! Also, check your voicemail settings to make sure it's not full.

Pro tip: I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting for a callback. 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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

I was skeptical at first too, but I can confirm it's legit. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken š¤¦āāļø

I get it, but when you're dealing with potentially thousands in benefits, $20 to actually get answers is worth it to me. But yeah, the system definitely needs fixing.

Have you tried calling them directly? I know its a pain, but sometimes you can get lucky and get through if you call right when they open.

I've tried that before, but I always get the 'all lines are busy' message. It's so frustrating! š¤

Here's what I know about EDD's callback system and recertification process: ā¢ EDD typically processes recertifications within 10 business days ā¢ Callback requests are usually handled within 24-48 hours ā¢ They prioritize calls based on urgency and type of issue ā¢ Callbacks are made between 8 AM and 5 PM Pacific Time ā¢ If you miss the call, they usually leave a voicemail and may try again ā¢ You can check your UI Online account for updates on your recertification status If you don't hear back within 48 hours, I'd recommend trying to call them directly or using one of the alternative contact methods like email or social media. Hope this helps!

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed info! This is really helpful. I'll keep an eye on my UI Online account and wait for the call. If I don't hear back by tomorrow afternoon, I'll try reaching out through other channels.
