EDD online system down until Friday - Need to submit disability claim certification ASAP. Help!

Ugh, that sucks! The EDD system is always having issues. Have you tried calling them? Maybe they can give you an extension or something.

I found a way to actually 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: Document EVERYTHING. Take screenshots of the error messages, note down the times you tried to access the system, and any other relevant info. This can help if they try to penalize you for late submission.

Have you checked if theres a local EDD office near you? Sometimes you can submit paperwork in person. Might be worth a shot!

This is why I always submit my stuff early. You never know when the system's gonna crap out on you. 🤷‍♂️

I've been dealing with EDD for months now, and here's what I've learned: 1. Always keep a paper trail. Save confirmation numbers, screenshots, and emails. 2. Try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes you have better luck. 3. If all else fails, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 4. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to EDD issues. Sometimes you can get real-time updates on system issues there. 5. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence usually pays off. Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same boat. 💪

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 good luck OP
