Accidentally ordered Spanish EDD line instead of English - How to switch and start claim?

Ugh, been there done that! The EDD system is so confusing. I'd say just try to place a new order for the English line. Don't worry too much about the Spanish one, they'll probably just cancel it if you don't pick up. Good luck with your claim!

Pro tip: I found a way to get someone on the phone without the endless hold times. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

Here's what you need to know about starting an EDD claim: 1. Gather all your employment info (past 18 months) 2. Have your Social Security number ready 3. Know your last day of work 4. Be prepared to answer questions about why you're no longer working 5. Have a pen and paper handy to write down important info The process can be tedious, but stay calm and take it step by step. If you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask for clarification. Good luck!

lmao welcome to the EDD circus 🤡 where everything's made up and the hold times don't matter

Has anyone had luck getting through on the English line lately? I've been trying for days and it's always busy 😫

Quick question - does anyone know if theres a way to check the status of your claim online? Or do you HAVE to call?

Protip: if u get someone who seems unhelpful or rude, politely hang up and try again. Some reps are WAY more helpful than others!

I feel your pain, OP. The EDD system is a nightmare. Took me weeks to get my claim sorted. Hang in there!

Anyone else think its ridiculous that in 2023 we still have to deal with this archaic system? Like, hello EDD, ever heard of user experience? 🙄
