EDD claim status MIA for over a month - phone just rings. Help!

Welcome to EDD hell 🔥 I've been waiting 2 months now with radio silence. The system is completely broken.

I finally found a way to get through! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that calls EDD for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but totally worth it to actually talk to someone. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: call right when they open at 8am. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way.

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

I'm in the exact same situation. Filed 6 weeks ago, crickets ever since. The anxiety is killing me. How are we supposed to pay bills??

OK here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling every day, multiple times a day. It sucks but persistence is key. 2. Check your online account for any updates or requests for additional info. 3. If you can't get through, try contacting your state assembly member. They often have special channels to EDD. 4. Make sure you've submitted ALL required documents. Missing paperwork can cause major delays. 5. If you're really desperate, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to get through the phone lines. 6. Document everything - dates you called, who you talked to, what they said. This can help if you need to escalate later. 7. Check if you qualify for any other assistance programs while you wait. Hang in there. The system is overwhelmed but keep at it and you'll get through eventually.

lmao good luck. EDD is where claims go to die ☠️
