Stuck in EDD limbo: How to check claim status when nothing's updating?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to check the status of my unemployment claim but I'm not sure where to start. Has anyone had any luck getting updates recently? I've been waiting for a while and I'm starting to get worried. Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

I feel ya, buddy. The EDD system is a total mess right now. I've been trying to get an update on my claim for weeks. Have you tried logging into your online account? Sometimes they post updates there before sending anything in the mail.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've checked my online account but there's nothing new there. It's so frustrating 😫

Pro tip: check your account late at night or early morning. Sometimes the system updates during off-hours and you might catch new info before the rush.

Hey guys, I actually found a way to get through to someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!

I hadn't thought of that! How do I find my assembly member?

Just google '[your city] assembly member' and you should find their contact info. Good luck!

Listen up, folks. I've been through this rodeo before and here's what you need to know: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and online account updates. 3. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. 4. Join Facebook groups for EDD claimants. They often have the latest info and workarounds. 5. If all else fails, contact your state representative or senator. They can often cut through the red tape. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

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

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It's like they know when I'm about to log in 😂

Hey OP, have you tried calling the EDD directly? I know its a pain, but sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and spend a day hitting redial.

I've tried a few times but always get the 'we're too busy, call back later' message. It's so discouraging.
