To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
Ugh, that's so frustrating! I've been in the same situation before. Unfortunately, they do drop calls at closing time (8pm), so you'll likely get disconnected if you haven't already. Your best bet is to try calling again tomorrow morning right when they open. Some people have luck with the callback option if it's available, or you could try calling different numbers. The wait times are brutal but don't give up - you'll eventually get through!
@Sofia Ramirez Thanks for the advice! I m'new to dealing with and this whole process is so overwhelming. Do you know if there are specific times that are better to call? I keep seeing people mention calling right at 8am but I m'wondering if there are any other strategies that might work better than just hitting redial over and over again.
