Need to update EDD payment info - tips for reaching an agent?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment info update issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIpNwukhsrc

Ugh, I feel your pain. The unemployment office is a nightmare to get through to. I spent hours on hold last week and still didn't get to talk to anyone. It's so frustrating!

I found a method that actually works 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Pro tip: try calling your local assemblymember's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push your case through. Worked for me when I was in a similar situation!

Have you tried updating your payment info online? Sometimes you can do it through your account without having to call.

I swear the whole system is designed to make us give up. Been trying to get through for a month now. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it 🍀

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call exactly at 8:01 AM when they open 2. If you get the busy signal, hang up and redial immediately 3. Keep doing this until you get into the queue 4. Once in the queue, be prepared to wait for 1-2 hours 5. Have all your info ready when you finally get through It's a pain, but persistence is key. Good luck!

lol good luck. easier to win the lotto than get thru to edd 🤡
