Missed call from EDD about final Disability claim update - how to reach a real person?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The disability claim process is such a nightmare. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they're purposely making it difficult for us 🙄

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 after dealing with this for months: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep detailed records of all your calls and interactions. 3. If possible, try to use their online portal for updates. 4. Consider reaching out to your local representative for help. 5. Be prepared with all your info when you do get through. 6. Stay calm and polite with the agents, even though it's frustrating. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

have u tried calling from a different number? sometimes they block numbers that call too much lol

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to get an update for weeks now. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous. 🤬

Pro tip: if you get through and they put you on hold, DO NOT HANG UP. I once waited 3 hours but finally got my issue resolved.

Has anyone had luck with the online portal? I've been trying to use it but keep getting error messages. 🤔
