Does EDD call outside business hours? Confused about payment status updates

Hey everyone, I'm confused about something. Does anyone know if the EDD still calls us even when they're closed? I thought they only operated during business hours, but I'm not sure.

Nah, they don't call outside of business hours. EDD only operates Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. If you're getting calls outside of that, it might be a scam or something else. Be careful!

Yeah, this is correct. I've never received a call from them outside of those hours. Always be wary of unexpected calls claiming to be EDD!

@profile 3 Yikes, that's definitely sus. Might wanna double-check that it was actually EDD. Did they ask for any personal info?

Guys, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD! 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Ugh, the whole EDD system is such a mess. I've been trying to get my payment status updated for weeks now. Anyone else in the same boat? 🚢

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.

PSA: Always double-check the number youre calling for EDD. There are a lot of scammers out there trying to get your personal info. The official EDD number is 1-800-300-5616.

Does anyone know if theres a way to check your payment status online? I'm tired of waiting on hold for hours just to get a simple update.

Yeah, you can check it on the EDD website. Just log into your account and go to the 'Claim Status' section. It's usually pretty up to date.

I swear, dealing with EDD is like trying to nail jello to a wall. Anyone else feel like they're getting the runaround every time they call? 😤
