How to check status of EDD paper application? Can't get through on phone

I found a way to solve EDD unemployment application status issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aOvmku4Fm4

Has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? wondering if thats any faster

Pro tip: Use the online portal if you can. I know you submitted a paper application, but if you create an online account, sometimes you can see the status there. Might save you a phone call!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even when you get through, they might not be able to help. I finally got an agent after weeks of calling, and they told me they couldn't find my application in the system. Now I'm back to square one. This whole process is a joke 🤡

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 the link: https://claimyr.com

Anyone else feel like we're all just stuck in some kind of unemployment limbo? It's like a bad dream that never ends 😴💤

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to actually get our benefits or something. 🙄

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call right when they open at 8 AM 2. If you get the "too many callers" message, hang up and immediately redial 3. Keep doing this until you get into the queue 4. Once in the queue, be prepared to wait for 1-2 hours It's a pain, but I finally got through after a week of trying. Good luck!

Hey OP, just a heads up - when you do get through, make sure you have all your info ready. They'll ask for your SSN, the last employer you worked for, and the dates you worked there. Also, if you have your application confirmation number, that's super helpful. Good luck!
