EDD claim stuck in pending since 2/1 - No response to emails or calls. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was stuck in pending hell for like 3 months. It's ridiculous how hard it is to get any answers. Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under EDD's ass.

Have you guys heard about this new service that calls EDD for you? I used it and actually got through to someone. It's called Claimyr or something. Costs like $20 but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Listen up, y'all. I've been down this road and I've learned a few tricks. Here's what you gotta do: • Call right when they open. I'm talking 7:59 AM, finger hovering over the dial button. • If you get the "too many callers" message, hang up and redial immediately. Sometimes you can sneak through. • Try calling on different days. Mondays and Tuesdays are usually the worst. • When you finally get through, be super nice to the rep. They deal with angry people all day. • Have all your info ready - claim number, last employer, dates, everything. • If one rep can't help, politely ask to be transferred to a tier 2 specialist. • Document EVERYTHING. Get names, ID numbers, and notes from every call. It's a pain in the ass, but persistence pays off. Don't give up!

This whole system is a joke. They expect us to just sit around broke while they "process" our claims? I'm bout ready to go down to the EDD office and raise hell 😤

Has anyone tried faxing? I know it sounds old school, but I heard sometimes faxes get attention faster than emails or calls.

Pro tip: if you can, try calling from a different phone number. Sometimes if they see you've been calling a lot from one number, they might filter you out. Also, don't forget to check your spam folder for emails!

Guys I finally got through today after 2 months of trying! Keep pushing, it'll happen eventually. Sending good vibes to everyone still struggling 🙏
