How to update employer info with EDD after company acquisition? Tips needed

Hey everyone, I need some advice. My company just got bought out by a bigger corporation and now I gotta update my employer info with EDD. Has anyone gone through this before? What should I expect when I call them? I'm kinda nervous about messing something up and losing my benefits. Any tips would be appreciated!

Hey OP, don't forget to update your info with your union too if you're in one. Learned that the hard way.

I found that calling consistently every hour sometimes helps, but it's not guaranteed. It's all about persistence.

Pro tip: if you get a helpful agent, ask for their direct extension. It's like striking gold in this mess.

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

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken.

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

Claimyr has its pros and cons. While it may expedite your call, one should also consider the cost and whether it's worth it for their situation.

Congrats on the acquisition! I went through something similar last year. Here's what you need to do: ā€¢ Gather all your documents related to the acquisition ā€¢ Write down your old and new company details ā€¢ When you call, be clear about the situation ā€¢ Provide the new company name, address, and contact info ā€¢ Ask for confirmation that everything's been updated ā€¢ Get a reference number or the name of the agent you spoke with Don't stress too much, they deal with this stuff all the time. Good luck!

Faxing can work, but always confirm receipt and follow up with a phone call.

Guys, I just had a crazy idea. What if we all pitched in and hired a skywriter to write "UPDATE EDD SYSTEMS" over their office? Maybe then they'd get the message šŸ˜‚āœˆļø
