Need help reaching EDD rep for payment issues - any tips?

I found a way to solve EDD payment issues and delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRNs4HfgGXk

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to reach them for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to get our money 🙄

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

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? They can sometimes help expedite things with EDD.

I've been dealing with payment issues for months now. Here's what I've learned: • Be persistent. Keep calling, even if it's frustrating. • Document everything. Keep a log of your calls, who you spoke to, and what was said. • Check your UI Online account regularly for updates. • Make sure all your certifications are up to date. • If you get through, ask for a callback number in case you get disconnected. • Be polite to the reps. They're dealing with a lot too. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you'll get it sorted eventually.

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

I heard they're implementing a new callback system. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all stopped calling constantly, it would be easier to get through 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone tried the UI Mobile app? wondering if its any better than the website for getting info/updates
