Stuck in EDD limbo: Can't reach anyone to check claim status. Help!

I found a way to solve long claim status wait times, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veizuTHEKt4

Ugh, welcome to the club 🙄 I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone!

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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes its faster than calling.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I managed to get through after only a 30 minute wait by calling at 8:01 AM sharp.

I feel your pain, OP. The whole system is a mess rn. I've been waiting on my claim for 3 months now. It's ridiculous how understaffed and overwhelmed they are. 😤

Here's what I've learned from my experience dealing with claims: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Use the online portal to submit any documents they might need. This can prevent delays. 3. Be prepared when you do get through. Have all your info ready. 4. If possible, try to speak to a tier 2 representative. They often have more authority to resolve issues. 5. Document everything. Write down who you spoke to, when, and what they said. 6. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 7. Consider using a paid service like the one mentioned earlier if you're really stuck. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP. 💪

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? 🤔 trying to get info on our claims is like trying to find the entrance to the castle lmao

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes they respond faster there.
