EDD claim disconnected mid-process - What to do when new claim doesn't show up?

Has anyone tried tweeting at the EDD? Sometimes public shaming works wonders 😈

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get our benefits? the system is broken af 🤡

For those of you experiencing disconnections, a potential reason could be the high volume of calls EDD receives daily. This overloads their system, leading to technical difficulties. While incredibly frustrating, it's important to remain patient and persistent. Documenting every interaction and considering alternative methods, like emailing or using claim assistance tools like Claimyr, can be beneficial. Always ensure you follow up on any promises or information provided by EDD agents.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling back until you get through. It sucks, but persistence is key. 2. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 3. Check your UI Online account daily for updates. 4. If nothing shows up after a week, file a new claim online. 5. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, the EDD is swamped right now, so everything's moving slower than usual. Hang in there!

Have you tried faxing your info? Sometimes that works better than calling or using the website. Old school, I know, but it got my claim unstuck!

Something that worked for me was sending a physical letter to their office explaining my issue. It seemed to speed up the process.

Have you tried checking your UI Online account? Sometimes it takes a day or two for new claims to show up in the system. If it's not there after 48 hours, you'll probably need to call back.

Same boat here. The EDD system is a joke. I swear they disconnect on purpose to avoid helping us. 🤬

Hey OP, what time of day were you calling? I've had the best luck getting through right when they open at 8am. Set your alarm and be ready to dial!

Plot twist: what if the EDD agents are actually AI and thats why they keep disconnecting? 🤖 #ConspiracyTheories

I heard there's a new EDD app in development. Has anyone else heard this? Could be a game-changer if it actually works.

Anyone else feel like were playing unemployment roulette? Some days you get through, some days you dont. Its a total crapshoot 🎰

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just camp outside the EDD office until they fix this mess. Who's with me? ⛺️✊

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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 the link: https://claimyr.com

Ugh, that happened to me last month. It's the worst! I had to call back and start all over again. Took me like 3 days to get through 😫

Another thing you might consider is using Claimyr, a service that helps you connect with EDD agents more efficiently. While some users have reported success with it, keep in mind it does come with a fee. Understandably, it can be frustrating to pay for a service that's supposed to be provided to you without cost. Assess your situation and decide if the potential time saved is worth the expense.

Pro tip: Always get the name and ID number of the agent you're talking to. That way, if you get disconnected, you can ask for them specifically when you call back. It's saved me so much hassle!

Guys, I just saw on the news that EDD is upgrading their systems next week. Might wanna wait till after that to call again. Could solve some of these issues (or make everything worse lol
