EDD Baby Bonding Claim Stuck - Silent Phone Line, No Response. Help!

I found a way to solve baby bonding claim delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thcMLMGsV2M

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is a nightmare rn. I've been trying to get through for weeks. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works for me.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried faxing your claim? Sometimes that gets faster results than calling or waiting for snail mail.

I'm in the same boat, buddy. Been waiting on my claim for 2 months now. The whole system is a joke. Good luck getting any real help from EDD. 🙄

Here's what worked for me with my baby bonding claim: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and faxes. 2. Use the online portal to submit your claim if you haven't already. It's faster than mail. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try emailing. Sometimes they respond quicker that way. 4. Reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. 5. Be persistent but polite. The people on the other end are probably overwhelmed too. 6. Double-check all your paperwork. One small error can delay everything. 7. If all else fails, consider using a paid service like others have mentioned to get through on the phone. Hang in there! The process is frustrating, but you'll get through it eventually.

have u tried the edd subreddit? lots of helpful ppl there who know the ins and outs of the system

I heard they're updating the EDD system soon. Maybe wait a few weeks and see if things improve? 🤔

I'm dealing with the exact same thing! Filed my baby bonding claim 6 weeks ago and it's like it disappeared into a black hole. The phone system is absolutely useless - either busy signals or that weird silent line you mentioned. I've started keeping a spreadsheet of every time I've tried calling (sad, I know, but at least I feel like I'm doing something). Has anyone had luck with the online chat feature, or is that just as broken as everything else?
