EDD Unemployment (Español) - Ordered callback but never received calls. What to do?

Hola a todos! I've been trying to get through to the California EDD unemployment office (Spanish line) for days now. I finally managed to place an order for a callback, but I never received any calls. Has anyone else experienced this? It's so frustrating to wait and then nothing happens. Any advice on what to do next or how to actually get in touch with a real person?

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD system is a total nightmare rn. I've been trying to get through for weeks. It's like they don't want us to actually get our benefits 🙄

For real tho! It's like they're playing hide and seek with our money 🤑 Anyone else feel like they're just running in circles?

Yep, same boat here. Been calling non-stop for days. It's ridiculous how understaffed they are.

Have you guys tried calling right when they open? I heard that's the best time to get through.

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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/0UZGuPWGErg

Sounds too good to be true. How does it actually work? Is it legit?

It's totally legit! You just enter your info, pay the fee, and they do all the waiting for you. Saved me hours of frustration.

I get the skepticism, but when you're desperate to get your benefits, $20 is worth it. It's not ideal, but it works.

Pro tip: try calling the employer line instead of the claimant line. Sometimes you can get through faster and they can still help you with your claim.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite EDD issues. Worth a shot!

This! 👆 My assembly member's office was super helpful. Took a few weeks, but they got my issue resolved.

How do you even find out who your assembly member is? 🤷‍♂️

Just Google 'Find my California Assembly Member' and enter your address. Easy peasy!

Okay, here's the deal with EDD callbacks (from someone who used to work there): • They're supposed to call within 48 business hours • If you miss the call, they should try again • Make sure your voicemail isn't full • Double-check that you gave the correct phone number • Sometimes the system glitches and callbacks get lost If it's been more than a week, you might need to try again or use one of the other methods mentioned here. Good luck!

Wow, thanks for the insider info! I'll double-check everything. Do you know if there's a way to confirm if my callback request is still in the system?

Unfortunately, there's no way for claimants to check the status of a callback request. If it's been more than a week, I'd say it's time to try again or explore other options.

Esto es una locura! I've been dealing with EDD issues since last year. The Spanish line is always so backed up. Sometimes I switch to English just to try my luck 😅

Yo tambien! But then I get nervous about explaining everything in English and switch back 😂

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.

I heard they're updating the system soon to make it easier to get through. Anyone know if that's true or just another rumor?
