Stuck on EDD hold for hours - any tips to actually reach a human?
Has anyone else been stuck on hold with EDD for hours? I finally got a callback after waiting forever, but now I've been listening to hold music for 15 minutes. This is so frustrating! I just need to talk to someone about my claim. Any tips on how to actually get through to a real person?

Anyone know if theres a difference between state and federal family leave? Im so confused about which one I should be applying for
State is usually handled through EDD, federal is through your employer. But it depends on your situation. Maybe try r/legaladvice?

EDD Claim from March Still Pending - When Will I Get Paid?
I filed an unemployment claim back in March and it's still showing as pending processing. I'm getting really frustrated because I haven't received any payments yet. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait? I'm trying to figure out when I might actually see some money and how much I can expect. The online system just shows 'Pending Processing' and I'm not sure what else I can do at this point.

Anyone else notice that their system always seems to 'update' right when you need to certify? It's like clockwork. They need to hire some better IT people or something smh

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? The system is broken af

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're trying to discourage us from claiming what we're entitled to.
