EDD claim status check impossible - can't reach anyone on phone. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble checking the status of my unemployment claim. I called EDD but couldn't get through to anyone. Has anyone else had this problem? Any tips on how to actually talk to a real person there?

Ugh, welcome to the club. š I've been trying to get through for weeks. It's like they don't want us to actually get our benefits.

I know right? I've called like 50 times and still nothing. It's ridiculous!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I managed to get through after trying this for a few days. Good luck!

8 AM Pacific Time. Set your alarm and be ready to dial!

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

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

$20? That's kinda steep just to talk to someone...

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: ā¢ Have your EDD Customer Account Number ready ā¢ Be prepared to verify your identity ā¢ Know exactly what you want to ask about your claim ā¢ Be patient and polite (even though it's frustrating) ā¢ Keep a record of all your calls and who you spoke with Hope this helps someone! We're all in the same boat here. š¢

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? š

Conspiracy theory: the website is never actually under maintenance, they just don't want to deal with us š

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard that sometimes they can help push things along with EDD.

Just a heads up, I heard they're implementing a new system soon. Might cause more delays but hopefully it'll make things easier in the long run.
