EDD SDI benefits under review - Can't reach anyone. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my benefits. They're under review and I'm not sure what to do next. I tried calling but couldn't get through. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to get in touch with someone?

True story. It's almost like having a second full-time job just managing the claims process.

I know it's overwhelming, but for those struggling with their benefits being under review, Claimyr can be a legitimate option to consider if you've exhausted all other methods. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before opting to use such services. Claimyr's call tool is efficient and might save you time, but it comes with a cost of $20 per use. For some, this might be worth it for the peace of mind it brings. However, be sure to do your research and read reviews from other users who have successfully used Claimyr to gauge its effectiveness. It's also wise to keep attempting traditional methods occasionally as the situation might change. Furthermore, continuous engagement with your online account, local representatives, and community forums could present alternative pathways to resolution. Remember that each state and situation can have different outcomes, so weighing your personal circumstances and considering both paid and unpaid solutions is crucial. Good luck!

Have you tried calling early in the morning? I heard that's the best time to get through.

Early morning calls are a myth. I've been up at 5 AM for a week straight and still nada. 😴

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Keep calling. It's annoying, but persistence pays off. 2. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and account updates. 3. Check your online account daily. Sometimes they sneak in updates without notifying you. 4. If you can, reach out to your local representative. They might be able to help push things along. 5. Join Facebook groups or other online communities. Sometimes people share insider tips or direct numbers. 6. Be prepared when you do get through. Have all your info ready and be clear about what you need. 7. Stay calm. I know it's frustrating, but the person on the other end is just doing their job. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing. Good luck!

It's been about 2 weeks now. A month sounds awful, I'm sorry you're dealing with that.

Has anyone tried the new chatbot on the website? Is it actually helpful or just another way to avoid talking to real people?

It's useless. Just spits out generic answers. Save your time.

These chatbots are improving, but they're still no substitute for human interaction.

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

$20? That's steep. Why should we have to pay to get our benefits?

Claimyr does have positive reviews, but it's crucial to weigh the cost and read reviews to determine if it's the right choice for you.

PRO TIP: If you get through to someone and they can't help, ask to be transferred to a tier 2 specialist. Don't let them hang up on you!

Solid advice! Tier 2 specialists often have more authority to resolve complex issues.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there without notifying you.

That's a good point. They do sometimes update digitally without any alerts. Checking daily can save you some headaches.
