EDD Debit Card Issues - Need help getting through to a human!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through for weeks about my card. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone 🙄

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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Pro tip: if you're calling about your debit card, make sure you have all your info ready. They'll ask for your SSN, address, and probably the last few transactions on the card. Makes things go way faster if you're prepared!

Anyone else think its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic help? The whole system needs an overhaul tbh

Hey OP, what exactly is the issue with your card? I had mine replaced recently and might be able to give some specific advice if it's similar.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. Be persistent. Sometimes you gotta call multiple times a day. 2. Try different times. Early morning and right before closing sometimes work better. 3. Be nice to the rep when you finally get through. They deal with angry people all day. 4. Have all your docs ready before the call. 5. If one rep can't help, politely ask to speak to a supervisor. 6. Keep a log of all your calls and who you spoke to. 7. As a last resort, contact your local representative's office. They can sometimes expedite things. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together 💪

lol remember when we thought the pandemic was gonna make all this stuff more efficient? good times 😂
