EDD claim delays - reps giving runaround and no updates. Help!

Ugh, I feel you. Been stuck in the same boat for weeks now. It's like they don't even care about us 😤

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

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: • Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. • Keep a log of every interaction, including rep names and call reference numbers. • Use the online portal to send messages - sometimes they respond faster there. • Check your spam folder regularly for emails from them. • If possible, upload any required documents online rather than mailing them. • Consider reaching out to your local representative or ombudsman. • Join Facebook groups or forums for your state's unemployment - sometimes you can get insider tips. It's a broken system, but don't give up. You're entitled to these benefits!

have u tried faxing ur docs? I know it sounds old school but I heard it can be faster than mail or even online sometimes

I'm convinced they're deliberately slowing things down to discourage people from claiming. It's all a big scam 😡

Has anyone tried going to the office in person? wondering if that might help speed things up
