How to update phone number with EDD? Got a new number, need help!

I found a way to solve updating EDD phone number easily, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgvdXVH3TI0

Unfortunately, EDD doesn't make it easy to update your phone number. You'll probably need to call them directly to make the change. Good luck getting through though, their phone lines are always jammed!

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

Have you tried updating your info through the online portal? Sometimes they let you make changes there without calling in.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Changed my number last month and its been a nightmare trying to update it with EDD. Let me know if you figure out a good solution!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the EDD customer service number (1-800-300-5616) 2. Choose the option for "all other questions" 3. When you get a rep, explain that you need to update your phone number 4. They'll verify your identity, so have your SSN and claim info ready 5. Once verified, they can update your number in the system Be prepared to wait on hold for a while. Best times to call are usually early morning or late afternoon. Good luck!

smh why does everything with EDD have to be so complicated? 🤦‍♂️

Quick question - did you port your old number to the new phone or is it a completely new number? If you ported it, you might not need to update EDD at all.
