EDD PFL claim mistake: Wrong start date overlapping with disability. How to actually reach a human?

I found a way to solve EDD claim date correction issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6VbZAod6FI

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat trying to reach EDD for weeks. It's like they don't want us to talk to them 🙄

I found a method that actually works to 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for the past few months: • Call exactly at 8:00 AM when they open • Use the 2511 number, not the 5616 one • If you get through the menu, stay on hold no matter what • Be super nice to the rep, they deal with angry people all day • Have all your info ready before you call • If one rep can't help, politely ask to be transferred Hope this helps someone! It's a frustrating process but don't give up!

have you tried faxing them? i know it sounds old school but sometimes it works lol

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged. They make it impossible to get help on purpose. Wake up sheeple! 🐑🐑🐑

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push your case through.

Anyone else notice that the hold music is always some weird jazz? Like, are they trying to put us to sleep or what? 😴🎷
