EDD missed my scheduled phone interview - what now?

Ugh, that sucks. I've been there before. Did you double-check your phone settings? Sometimes my phone blocks unknown numbers and I miss important calls.

This happened to me last month! Here's what you need to do: 1. Call EDD immediately and explain the situation 2. Ask for a rescheduled interview 3. Request written confirmation of the new appointment 4. Document everything - date, time, who you spoke with Don't panic, they usually understand these things happen. Just be persistent and polite. Good luck!

classic EDD move 🙄 theyre probably gonna blame you for missing the call even tho they never called. the system is rigged against us i swear

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/0UZGuPWGErg

Have you checked your EDD online account? Sometimes they leave messages there if they couldn't reach you by phone. Might give you some info on next steps.

edd is such a joke these days smh. i've been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. good luck getting anyone on the phone 🤡

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes you have better luck during off-peak hours.

This is why I always record my calls with EDD. Too many 'he said, she said' situations. Cover your bases, people!

Anyone else notice that EDD seems to be dropping more calls lately? I wonder if they're having technical issues or if it's just understaffing. 🤔

Don't worry, this happens more than you'd think! When this happened to me, I called the EDD phone number (1-800-300-5616) and pressed 1-2-1 to get through to someone. Make sure to mention that you were available during your scheduled time window and never received the call. They should be able to reschedule without penalizing your benefits. Also, keep detailed notes of when you call, who you speak with, and any reference numbers they give you. The key is being persistent but polite - they deal with this situation regularly and know it's not always the claimant's fault. Good luck!

This exact thing happened to my friend last week! EDD never called during her scheduled window either. She ended up calling the main number and explaining the situation - turns out there was a system glitch on their end that day. They rescheduled her for the following week with no issues or penalties to her benefits. The rep even apologized and noted in her file that the missed call wasn't her fault. So definitely don't stress too much about this affecting your benefits - it's more common than you'd think and they're usually pretty understanding when it's on their end. Just make sure to call them ASAP to get it sorted out!
