Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting on my appeal for what feels like forever. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

I've tried calling a few times, but I always get stuck on hold forever. It's so frustrating! 😤 How long did you have to wait to get through?

Honestly, it took me like 3 days of constant redialing. I felt like I was losing my mind. But when I finally got through, they were actually pretty helpful. Hang in there!

Pro tip: try calling right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way. Good luck!

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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Wow, that sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this? I'm desperate but $20 is a lot when you're unemployed.

I get it, I was skeptical too. But I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money, ya know?

I used it last week and it actually worked! Got through to an agent in about an hour. Definitely worth the $20 imo.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before they send out notices. It's worth a shot if you haven't looked recently.

I've been dealing with EDD for months now, and here's what I've learned: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. 2. Be persistent. Call, email, and use the online portal regularly. 3. Reach out to your local assembly member. They can sometimes expedite things. 4. Join Facebook groups for EDD claimants. They often have good tips. 5. If you get conflicting info, always get the name of who you talked to. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together! 💪

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start documenting everything. Do you have any recommendations for good Facebook groups to join?

Sure thing! 'California Unemployment Help' and 'EDD Unemployment Help' are both pretty active and helpful. Just be careful not to share any personal info publicly.

MOOD. 😂 But for real, have you tried contacting your state rep? I've heard they can sometimes light a fire under EDD's a**.

Has anyone else noticed that the appeal process seems to be moving slower lately? I filed mine 3 months ago and haven't heard a peep. Is this normal?

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. I think they're swamped with all the fraud cases from last year. It's a mess.

I heard they're understaffed and still working through a backlog. Doesn't make it any less frustrating though. 😑
