EDD silent phone line - tips for getting info on continued claim?

I found a way to solve EDD phone system frustrations, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-If0QFrBtU4

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD phone system is a nightmare. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's either silence, busy signals, or getting hung up on. This whole system is broken.

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

Here's what I've learned about continued claims after dealing with EDD for months: • You need to certify for benefits every two weeks • Make sure you report any income accurately • If there's an issue with your claim, you might need to call in • Sometimes the online system glitches, so keep trying • If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting them through UI Online • Be patient, the system is overwhelmed right now Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any specific questions.

lol welcome to EDD hell 🔥 where the rules are made up and your sanity doesn't matter

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? They sometimes have direct lines to EDD and can help push your claim through.

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