Need advice for calling EDD in Spanish - already sent docs, what next?

Sounds like youre on the right track! Definitely mention that you've already sent in the docs they asked for. It helps to be proactive. And yeah, taking notes is always a good idea - you never know when youll need to reference something later. As for checking your account, I'd say every couple of days is good. Sometimes updates happen quickly, sometimes not so much. Good luck!

Ugh, calling the unemployment office is THE WORST. I swear, its like they purposely make it difficult to get through. I spent hours on hold last month trying to get someone who speaks Spanish. Good luck, youre gonna need it 🙄

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without the endless hold times. 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

Pro tip: When you call, ask for a reference number or some kind of confirmation that they've received your documents. It'll save you headaches later if theres any confusion. Also, don't be afraid to ask them to explain things if you don't understand - it's their job to help you!

Does anyone know if the Spanish-speaking agents have different hours? Last time I called, they transferred me but then said the Spanish line was closed. So frustrating!

Here's a detailed guide for dealing with the unemployment department: • Always have your claim number ready • Keep a log of all calls, including date, time, and agent name if possible • Be polite but persistent - sometimes you need to advocate for yourself • If possible, use their online portal for uploading documents. It's often faster than mail • If an agent promises to do something, ask for a timeframe and follow up if it's not done • Know your rights - familiarize yourself with the basic rules of unemployment in your state • If you're not getting anywhere, consider contacting your local representative's office. They can sometimes help push things along Remember, patience is key. The system is overloaded, but stay persistent and you'll get through eventually. Good luck!

Anyone else feel like we're all just stuck in a giant game of telephone with these government agencies? 📞🎭 It's like, hello, can anyone hear me? 👂

Hey OP, don't forget to ask about any deadlines for submitting additional info if they need it. I got burned by missing a deadline I didn't even know existed. These folks love their arbitrary cutoff dates 🙄
