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

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 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

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.
