EDD closed on weekends? Need help with paperwork ASAP!
Anyone else having trouble reaching EDD on weekends? I just got some paperwork and need to talk to someone, but it looks like they're closed. Wondering if there's any way to get through or if I just have to wait until Monday.

Ugh, been there done that. EDD is always a pain to reach, but weekends? Forget about it. They're closed and won't reopen till Monday morning. Best bet is to call right when they open at 8 AM Pacific time. Good luck!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. How does it actually work?

It's legit! You just put in your number and they call you when they get an agent. Saved me hours of hold time

Pro tip: check ur online account first. Sometimes u can find the info or submit stuff there without needing to call. Might save u some headache

This is why the system is so messed up. We shouldnt have to jump through hoops just to talk to someone about our benefits. Its ridiculous that they're not available on weekends when most people actually have time to deal with this stuff.

Hey OP, what kind of paperwork did you receive? I might be able to help you figure out what it's about without having to call. I've been through the EDD ringer more times than I can count 😅

It's some form about reporting additional income. Not sure if I filled it out right tho

Ah, that's probably the DE 23 form. Make sure you report ALL income, even if it's just a few bucks. They're super strict about that. When in doubt, overreport!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? Sometimes they can help push things through or get answers faster than we can on our own. Worth a shot!

Guys, I've been dealing with EDD for months now and here's what I've learned: 1. Persistence is key. Don't give up after one try. 2. Use all available channels - phone, online, mail. 3. Document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all calls, letters, and online submissions. 4. Be prepared when you call. Have all your info ready. 5. Be polite but firm with the reps. They're often overworked and understaffed. 6. If you're not getting anywhere, consider reaching out to your local representatives. 7. Join Facebook groups or forums for real-time updates and tips. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is frustrating, but hang in there!

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate the EDD system? 🎓🤡

Hey, just a heads up - be careful about what info you share online about your claim. EDD monitors social media and forums. Don't give them any reason to flag your account!
