EDD closed my open claim - can't access funds. Help!

I found a way to solve closed unemployment claim issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BAYuAPF_Oo

Ugh, I've been there. The EDD system is such a mess. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Check your online account for any new messages or notices. Sometimes they close claims if they need additional info and don't tell you directly.

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account for any new messages or notices 2. Look for any mail from EDD - they might have sent something explaining why your claim was closed 3. Try to call them early in the morning, right when they open 4. If you can't get through, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to connect you 5. If all else fails, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but persistence pays off. Good luck!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, the EDD website is about as reliable as my ex

I had the same issue last month. Turns out they needed proof of identity again. Check if they sent you any requests for additional documents.

This happened to me to. I finaly got through to someone after like a billion tries and they said my claim was flagged for fraud review. Aparently its happening to alot of people. They had to manually review my case which took forever but eventualy it got sorted
