Ugh, welcome to the club. EDD's phone system is a nightmare. I've been trying for weeks to get through. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone.

I swear they're understaffed on purpose. Keep us poor and desperate, right? 🙄

I found a way to actually 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 it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20? That's steep when you're already struggling with unemployment.

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. The $20 was worth it to finally get my claim sorted. Just sharing what helped me!

Pro tip: Have your EDD Customer Account Number ready when you call. They always ask for it and it speeds things up.

Has anyone tried using the online portal to check their status? Sometimes it's more up-to-date than what the phone reps tell you.

The online portal worked for me! But it took like 3 days to update after I certified.

I've heard rumors that calling right when they open at 8 AM gives you a better chance of getting through. Anyone tried this?

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: • Be persistent. Sometimes you have to call multiple times a day. • Have all your info ready: SSN, EDD Customer Account Number, last employer details. • Use the online portal to certify and check basic status. • If you get through, ask for a direct number or extension for follow-ups. • Document everything: who you talked to, when, and what they said. • Be polite but firm. The reps are overworked too. • If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together!

Contacting my rep actually worked! Took a week, but they got EDD to call me back.
