Need EDD disability form ASAP - can't reach anyone on phone. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last month. It's like they don't want us to actually get our benefits 🙄 Have you tried faxing them? Sometimes that works better than calling.

I found a method 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling first thing in the morning, right when they open. That's your best shot. 2. If that doesn't work, try reaching out to your local state representative. They often have contacts in the unemployment office. 3. Check their website daily for any updates or new ways to submit requests online. 4. Join Facebook groups for unemployment in your state. Sometimes people share insider tips there. 5. As a last resort, consider going to their office in person if possible. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

have you tried emailing them? sometimes thats faster than calling tbh

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's a nightmare. I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. Hang in there, OP. 💪

Have you checked if there's an online portal where you can request forms? Some states have been updating their systems lately.
