EDD call dropped right after transfer - what now?

Ugh, that sucks! I've had that happen to me too. It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible for us to get help. 🙄

I found a method 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 about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep calling back. It sucks, but persistence pays off. 2. Try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes less busy. 3. If you get disconnected after being transferred, immediately call back and explain what happened. Sometimes they can get you back to where you were. 4. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 5. Check your online account regularly for updates or messages. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Hope this helps! Hang in there, OP!

have u tried the online chat? sometimes its easier to get thru there

I feel your pain, OP. I've been playing phone tag with EDD for weeks now. It's like trying to catch a unicorn 🦄

Pro tip: if you have a landline and a cell, call on both at the same time. Double your chances of getting through!

Anyone else notice that the hold music is like psychological warfare? I swear I hear it in my nightmares now 😱

Honestly, at this point I'm convinced the EDD is run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels. Would explain a lot. 🐹💨

Hey OP, what time of day were you calling? I've had better luck getting through in the afternoons.

Plot twist: what if there are no actual EDD employees and its just an elaborate AI system designed to frustrate us all? 🤖
