EDD Paid Family Leave: Can't get through on phone after 100+ tries. Help!

I found a way to solve EDD paid family leave contact, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnCuqZ-JyvY

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last month. It's like trying to win the lottery or something. 🎰

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 about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call right at 8:01 AM (not 8:00, they're not ready yet) 2. If you hear 'thank you for calling' hang up and redial 3. Keep doing this until you hear the hold music 4. Once you're on hold, DO NOT HANG UP 5. Average wait time for me was about 2-3 hours It's a pain, but it eventually worked. Good luck!

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite EDD issues.

I swear EDD is run by a bunch of 🤡🤡🤡 How hard is it to answer the damn phone?

Anyone know if theres been any improvement since they updated there system last month? I herd they were sposed to add more phone lines or somethin

Pro tip: if you have a complex issue, try to get transferred to Tier 2 support. They're usually more helpful and can actually make changes to your claim.
