EDD password reset help & Spanish support options?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment account. I need to reset my password but I'm not sure how to do it. Also, does anyone know if I can get help in Spanish? My English isn't great and I'd feel more comfortable speaking with someone in Spanish. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I had the same issue last month! Here's what I did: 1. Go to the EDD website 2. Click on 'Forgot Password' 3. Follow the prompts - you'll need your SSN and some other info 4. They'll send a reset link to your email 5. Click the link and create a new password As for Spanish support, when you call the EDD, there should be an option to choose Spanish at the beginning of the call. Hope this helps!

Just a heads up, sometimes the reset link takes a while to come through. If you don't see it, check your spam folder!

Yo, 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Yeah, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate after trying to call for weeks. It saved me hours of hold time.

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Time is money, and I was wasting whole days trying to get through.

pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. youll have a better chance of getting through quickly

Have you tried using Google Translate while on the website? It's not perfect, but it might help you navigate until you can talk to someone in Spanish.

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member? They can sometimes help push things through.

Anybody else notice the website is down like every other day? How are we supposed to manage our claims if we can't even log in half the time?
