EDD system update causing claim visibility issues - anyone else?

I found a way to solve unemployment benefits system issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1LIlr90r6k

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been trying to get through for days now. It's like they purposely make it impossible to talk to a real person. 🤬

I actually found a way 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 I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Be persistent. Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. 2. Document everything. Write down who you talk to, when, and what they say. 3. Try different times of day. Sometimes early morning or late afternoon can be less busy. 4. Use social media. Sometimes tweeting at them can get a response. 5. Contact your local representative. They might be able to help push things along. Hang in there, everyone. This system is a nightmare, but we'll get through it. 💪

Has anyone else noticed that the website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point. 🤡

I'm starting to think carrier pigeons would be more reliable than this system. Maybe we should all invest in some birds? 🐦📬

Serious question: has anyone actually received their benefits on time recently? Starting to feel like I'm the only one...

Pro tip: if you press 0 repeatedly during the automated menu, sometimes it'll bump you to a real person. Doesn't always work, but worth a shot!

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in computer science just to navigate the unemployment website? It's like they designed it to be as confusing as possible. 🤔💻

I swear, dealing with this system is aging me faster than my actual job did. Pretty soon I'll be eligible for retirement benefits instead of unemployment! 👴👵
