Need help getting payment status update from EDD - any tips?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get a status update on my payments. Has anyone had any luck getting through to someone? I've been trying for days and it's driving me crazy. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been in the same boat for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to get our money or something. 🤬

I swear they're playing games with us. How hard is it to pick up a phone??

I actually found a way to get through! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

20 bucks? Idk man, seems kinda steep just to talk to someone...

I get the skepticism, but after wasting hours trying to get through, it was worth it for me. Just sharing what worked! 🤷‍♂️

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Call early in the morning, right when they open. 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and redial immediately. 3. Be prepared with all your info before you call. 4. Be polite but persistent with the rep. 5. If they can't help, ask to speak to a supervisor. Hope this helps someone! Good luck out there, we're all in this together. 💪

Anyone else notice that the website is always "under maintenance" when you need it most? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.

I've heard rumors that they're updating the system soon. Maybe that'll make things easier? lol who am I kidding, it'll probably make everything worse 😂

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard some people have had success that way.

I did! It took a while, but they actually helped me get my issue resolved. Worth a shot if you're desperate.

How do you even find out who your local rep is? asking for a friend 👀
