EDD calls keep dropping immediately after answering - Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! The same thing happened to me last week. It's like they're playing some sick game with us 🤡 I tried calling at different times of the day, but no luck. Anyone know if there's a best time to call?

This is ridiculous. The whole system is broken. How are we supposed to get help when we cant even get through on the phone? Its like they dont want us to actually recieve our benefits.

I found a method that actually works to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: • Try calling right at 8:00 AM when they open • Use multiple phones if you can to increase your chances • If you get through, don't hang up no matter what • Be super polite to the rep, they deal with angry people all day • Have all your info ready before you call • If all else fails, try contacting them through social media Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together 💪

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, maybe try a different phone? could be a weird tech issue on ur end

I'm an ex-EDD employee, and I can tell you that the system is overwhelmed. They're working on upgrading the phone systems, but it's a slow process. My advice: be persistent and patient. And yeah, early morning calls are your best bet.

guys i think i figured it out. we need to perform a ritual sacrifice to the EDD gods. whos got a goat we can use? 🐐😈
