EDD Business Days: When to Expect Callback?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out the business days for EDD. Does anyone know if they count weekends or holidays? I'm waiting on a call back and I'm not sure when to expect it.

Business days for EDD are typically Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and holidays. If you don't get a call today, they'll continue on the next business day. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info! Do you know if they ever make exceptions for urgent cases?

No problem! As far as I know, they don't usually make exceptions, even for urgent cases. The system is pretty rigid 😕

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. 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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.

I did this! It actually helped a lot. My case got resolved within a week after months of nothing.

FYI, there's been some changes to the EDD system recently. They're supposedly streamlining the process, but who knows if it'll actually help 🤷‍♀️
