EDD claim update issues - anyone else struggling?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to update my EDD claim but I'm having some issues. Has anyone else dealt with this recently? Any tips on how to get it resolved quickly?

I found a way to solve EDD claim update issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKht4MFcrw4

Have you tried calling? Sometimes thats the only way to get anything done

Calling is a nightmare tho. I spent hours on hold and still got nowhere

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

Sounds too good to be true. Are you sure it's legit?

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but I gave it a shot and it really worked. Saved me hours of frustration

How long did it take for them to call you back?

It took about 2 hours for me, but it was way better than being stuck on hold myself

Have you tried updating online? Sometimes thats easier than dealing with the phone system

I had the same issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in the system affecting a bunch of claims. It eventually resolved itself after a few days, but it was super stressful

Oh man, I hope that's not whats happening to me. Did you have to do anything to fix it?

Nah, it just started working again on its own. But keep an eye on it and def call if it doesnt resolve soon

Here's what I've learned about updating EDD claims: 1. Try online first - sometimes the website works better than you'd expect 2. If online fails, call early in the morning (right when they open) 3. Be persistent - you might need to try multiple days in a row 4. Have all your info ready before you call 5. If you get a rep, ask them to notate your account in case you get disconnected 6. Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're really stuck Hope this helps! The system is frustrating, but don't give up 💪

I've been dealing with similar issues too! What I found helpful was clearing my browser cache and cookies before trying to update online - sometimes that fixes weird glitches. Also, if you're getting error messages, try screenshotting them. When I finally got through to a rep, having those screenshots helped them identify the specific issue faster. The whole system definitely needs an overhaul, but hang in there! 🤞
