EDD callback fail - nobody on the line! PFL claim delay help?

Ugh, that sucks! I've had that happen to me before too. It's like they're playing some sick game with us 🙄 Have you tried calling them back right away?

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

When did you file your PFL claim? I've been waiting for 6 weeks now and still nothing. Starting to lose hope 😞

Pro tip: try calling right when they open in the morning. I've had better luck getting through that way. Also, make sure you have all your docs ready when you do get someone on the line!

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trying to make this as difficult as possible 🤦‍♂️

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. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. • Use their online portal to send messages. Sometimes you get a faster response that way. • If you're really stuck, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. • Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important EDD emails end up there. • Be prepared for long hold times. Use speakerphone and do other tasks while waiting. • Double-check all your paperwork before submitting. One small error can cause big delays. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together 💪

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate the EDD system? 🎓🤡
