No EDD payments since December, can't get through on phone. Help!
I haven't gotten paid since December and I've been trying to call for a full week but can't get through. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been 2 months for me and I can't even get a human on the phone. This system is so broken 😡

2 months? That's rough buddy. Have you tried calling right when they open? I heard that helps sometimes

Yeah, I've tried everything. Early morning, late afternoon, different days. No luck. It's like they don't want us to reach them 🙄

Same here. I feel like we're all just screaming into the void at this point.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. After weeks of trying, I finally got through. Worth every penny imo

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call exactly at 8:01 AM 2. Choose option 1, then 2, then 4 3. If you hear music, hang up and try again 4. Repeat until you get in the queue It took me about 20 tries but I finally got through. Good luck!

Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

I hadn't thought of that. How do I find out who my local rep is?

Just google '[your state] find my representative'. Most states have a website where you can enter your address and it'll show you who represents you. Send them an email explaining your situation.

This is ridiculous. We need to organize and demand better service. Who's with me? 💪

We could start a petition, maybe even plan a protest outside their offices. Strength in numbers!

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your call attempts, emails, and any communication. It might come in handy if you need to escalate your case.
