Ugh, tell me about it! The EDD is like a black hole of information. What specific issue are you having? Maybe we can help point you in the right direction.

•Thanks for responding! I'm not even sure where to start. I've been waiting for weeks to hear back about my claim status, and when I try to call, I just get stuck in an endless loop of automated messages. It's driving me crazy!

•Same boat here, buddy. The EDD phone system is a nightmare. Have you tried reaching out to them through their online portal? Sometimes that works better than calling.

•I've tried the online portal, but it's not much better. Just feels like I'm shouting into the void. 😫

I feel your pain. The EDD system is a mess rn. Have you tried contacting your local assemblymember? They can sometimes help push things along.

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

•$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 🤦♂️

•I get it, but for me, it was worth it to finally get some answers. Time is money, ya know?

Pro tip: keep detailed records of all your interactions with EDD. dates, times, who you spoke to, what was said. It'll help if you need to escalate your case later.

Ugh, the EDD is such a joke. I've been dealing with them for months and still haven't gotten anywhere. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 🙄

I totally understand your frustration! I went through something similar last year. One thing that helped me was calling right when they open at 8am - I had better luck getting through early in the morning. Also, try the UI Online portal during off-peak hours (like late evening). Sometimes the system is less overwhelmed then. Don't give up - it's a terrible system but persistence usually pays off eventually. Hang in there! 💪
