EDD claim effective date change request stuck in limbo for a month - no confirmation, can't reach agent. Help!

Ugh, welcome to EDD hell. 🤦‍♂️ I swear they're purposely making it impossible to get anything done. Have you tried faxing your documents? Sometimes that works better than mailing.

I feel your pain, OP. I've been stuck in EDD limbo for weeks now. It's like shouting into the void. Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? They sometimes have connections that can help speed things up.

Okay, listen up because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact EDD, including dates and times. 2. Send your documents again, but this time use certified mail with return receipt. This way, you have proof they received it. 3. Call first thing in the morning, right when they open. Like, set an alarm and be ready to dial at 7:59 AM. 4. If you still can't get through, try the trick of calling the employer line and then asking to be transferred to claims. 5. As a last resort, contact your local assembly member or state senator. They often have liaisons who can cut through the red tape. 6. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence pays off. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing. Good luck!

have you tried praying to the EDD gods? 🙏 Maybe sacrifice your last unemployment check as an offering lmao

Hey, I know it's frustrating, but 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

This might sound crazy, but have you tried sending a message through UI Online? Sometimes they actually respond there, and it's all documented in the system.

edd more like SMH amirite? 🤡

I'm in the same boat, friend. It's been two months for me, and I'm still waiting. The system is so broken. Hang in there!

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in the system. I once missed important updates because they had my old address.
