Congrats on finally getting paid! 🎉 I've been waiting for mine for weeks now. How long did it take for you? Did you have to do anything special to make it happen?

Thanks! It took about 2 months for me. I called them like crazy and finally got through to someone who could help. Persistence is key!

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous, we shouldn't have to pay for basic service 😡

I get the frustration, but for me it was worth it. Spent way more than $20 in time and stress trying to get through on my own.

Can you give more details about how it works? Do they garuantee you'll get through?

Sure! You choose the department you need to reach, pay the fee, and they start calling right away. They use some tech to navigate the phone tree and wait on hold. When a real person answers, you get a call on your phone. No guarantee, but it worked for me first try.

Pro tip: if you're still waiting, try contacting your local state representative. They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD. Worked for me!

This is great advice! 💯 My rep's office was super helpful when I was stuck in EDD limbo.

How do you even find out who your local rep is? 🤔

Just google '[your state] find my representative'. Most states have websites where you can enter your address and it'll show you who represents you.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past year: • Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. • Keep detailed records of all your communications. • Use their online portal to send messages - sometimes faster than calling. • Double-check all your paperwork for errors. One small mistake can cause big delays. • If you're really stuck, reach out to your state rep or senator. • Join Facebook groups for EDD claimants - lots of good info there. • Consider using a paid service to get through on the phone if you're desperate. Hope this helps someone! We're all in the same boat here. 🚢

Anyone else feel like they're playing unemployment roulette? Some weeks I get paid no problem, others it's radio silence 🎰

Y'all are funny but for real, has anyone tried going to the office in person? Does it help?
