EDD Unemployment: Tips to reach a real person after weeks of trying?

I'm having trouble with my unemployment benefits and I'm really frustrated. I've been trying to get through to someone for weeks now. Has anyone else had issues with their claim? Any tips on how to actually talk to a real person?

Guys, I hate to say it, but I think we're all clowns for expecting the government to actually help us 馃ぁ Time to learn to live off the grid or something

It's easy to get disillusioned, but we should continue advocating for better systems.

Off the grid sounds tempting, but for now, we need to keep pushing for change from within.

Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. I found a way to actually get through to a real person. There's this website called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It 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 the link: https://claimyr.com

PFL claim info verification failing - help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my Paid Family Leave claim. The system keeps saying my information can't be verified. Has anyone else run into this? Any tips on how to fix it? I'm getting really frustrated and could use some advice.

Here's what worked for me when I had verification issues with my PFL claim: 1. Double-check ALL your info. Even tiny discrepancies can cause problems. 2. Make sure your ID isn't expired. 3. If you've moved recently, update your address everywhere. 4. Try uploading clearer photos of your documents if you did it on mobile. 5. Use the online portal to message them directly about the issue. 6. As a last resort, fax your documents (yes, seriously, sometimes this works better). Hope this helps! The system is a pain, but don't give up. You'll get through eventually!
