EDD phone interview no-show after 12pm - should I keep waiting?

They're often running behind schedule. When I had my phone interview, they called almost an hour past the end of my window. Your letter is correct though - if they don't reach you today, they should attempt to call again within a week. Just make sure your voicemail is set up and not full! If you do miss the call, call EDD back immediately and explain the situation.

omg same thing happend to me last month!! they called at like 1:30 when my window was 11-1. so annoying. just keep ur phone with u during ur dr appt maybe?

The EDD is overbooked and understaffed! They arent going to disqualify you just because THEY missed the window - that would be ridiculous. Just make sure you call them back immediately if you see a missed call from them. The problem is getting through their phone lines...

My interview was 9-11 and they called at 10:58!! Talk about cutting it close.

Here's what you need to know about EDD phone interviews: 1) The timeframe they give you is an ESTIMATE, not a guarantee. They often run behind. 2) If you miss the call, they will attempt to reach you once more within 7 calendar days without rescheduling. 3) If you miss both attempts, they'll make a determination based on available information - which often results in disqualification. 4) If you're disqualified for missing the interview, you'll need to file an appeal within 30 days. My advice: Wait until at least 12:30pm. If you must leave for your doctor's appointment, call the EDD immediately at 1-800-300-5616 and explain your situation. Ask them to note your account. Keep trying to get through even if it's difficult. Also important: Make sure your contact information is up-to-date in your UI Online account!

The interviews almost NEVER happen at the scheduled time!!! EDD is a COMPLETE DISASTER. I had a phone interview scheduled for 2-4pm and they didn't call until 5:30pm!!! And then had the nerve to act like I should be grateful they called at all! The whole system is designed to discourage people from collecting the benefits they're entitled to. And don't even get me started on their website - crashes every other day during certification weekends.

Did they ever end up calling you? If not, check your UI Online account regularly. Sometimes they'll make a determination without even conducting the interview if they have enough information already. Also, you might want to check your spam calls - EDD calls sometimes show up as "Unknown" or "No Caller ID".

When I dealt with this exact situation, I spent hours trying to get through on the regular line with no luck. My claim was about to be disqualified for missing the interview. I ended up using Claimyr (claimyr.com) because someone on Reddit recommended it. Got through to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes who was able to leave notes on my account about the missed interview and reschedule me. Definitely check out their demo: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km if you're struggling to get through.

Since they left you a voicemail saying they'll try again within 7 days, you should be okay. But I strongly recommend documenting everything. Write down dates, times, and details of all contact attempts. If possible, try to reach EDD tomorrow to explain why you missed the call and confirm your availability for the next attempt. Keep checking your UI Online account daily for any status changes or new messages. And remember, even if you're disqualified for missing the interview, you can still appeal the decision within 30 days.

did ur claim status change in ur ui online? sometimes they aprove it without even doing the interview that happend to my roomate

I went through something similar last year! The key thing is don't panic - they really do call within that 7-day window they mentioned in the voicemail. In my experience, they usually try again around the same time of day as the original missed call, so maybe try to keep your schedule lighter around 2-3pm over the next few days. Also, make sure your voicemail greeting is professional and mentions you're expecting an important call from EDD - sometimes that helps them know they have the right person. The fact that they left a voicemail is actually a good sign that your case is still active. Hang in there!

I've been through this exact situation multiple times with EDD! The fact that they called and left a voicemail saying they'll try again within 7 days is actually really good - it means your case is still active and they're following protocol. A few tips from my experience: 1) They often call around the same time as the missed call, so try to keep 2-3pm free for the next week, 2) Make sure your phone isn't set to auto-reject unknown numbers, 3) Have all your documents ready because when they do call back, they usually want to complete the interview right then and there. The waiting is super stressful but you're not going to lose your benefits over this - they know their scheduling is unpredictable. Just stay available and keep checking your UI Online account for any updates!
