How to check claim status? Can't get through to EDD!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they don't even want us to reach them 🙄

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

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes that's faster than calling

I've had some success emailing them. It takes a few days to get a response, but at least you don't have to deal with the phone system 💯

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling your local office directly. Sometimes they're easier to reach

I swear, dealing with unemployment is a full-time job itself 🤣 Good luck, OP!
