EDD 4+ week delay on claim update, can't get paid, hundreds of calls no answer - help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat last year. It took me almost 2 months to get any kind of update. The system is so broken 😤

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They sometimes have direct lines to EDD and can help push your claim through faster.

I found a way to actually get 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 forwards the call to you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open in the morning. I've had better luck getting through that way.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past few months: • Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. • Document everything. Keep a log of when you call, who you talk to, and what they say. • Check your online account regularly for any updates or messages. • Make sure all your information is up to date and accurate. • If you can't get through on the phone, try sending a message through your online account. • As a last resort, contact your local representative or senator's office for help. Hang in there, OP. I know it's frustrating, but don't give up!

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard some ppl have had success that way

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul.
