Ugh, join the club. 🙄 The EDD system is a total mess right now. What exactly is your problem? Are you not getting paid, or is it something else?

•Thanks for responding. I'm not getting my payments on time, and when I try to call, I can never get through to anyone. It's so frustrating!

•Yep, sounds about right. The whole system is broken. Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through.

I found a way to actually get someone 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 sends the call to your phone 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

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep detailed records of all your communications 2. Use the online portal whenever possible 3. If you need to call, try early in the morning or late afternoon 4. Be persistent and don't give up 5. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member for help Hope this helps! Hang in there, we're all in the same boat. 💪

•Great tips! I'd add: check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important EDD emails end up there.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other EDD numbers. Sometimes you can get transferred to the right department that way.

•This actually works! I got through using the employer line and they were able to help me.

Anyone else notice that the website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you need it most? 🙄
