EDD phone interview no-show after waiting 4 hours - what are my next steps?

This happens more often than you'd think. EDD interviewers get backed up and sometimes don't call until hours after your scheduled window. I had my interview scheduled for 10am-12pm and they didn't call until 4:30pm! Make sure your phone is still on and ready to receive calls through the evening. Document everything - take screenshots of your call attempts and write down times you tried calling them. This documentation will help if they try to penalize you for a "missed interview" later.

THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME LAST MONTH!!! They were supposed to call between 2-4pm and didn't call until THE NEXT DAY at like 11am with no warning!! The system is completely broken and they don't care at all about our time. Make sure your voicemail isn't full and your phone can accept blocked numbers because that's how they call. Keep your phone charged and with you AT ALL TIMES tomorrow too.

EDD is required to make a "reasonable attempt" to contact you during your scheduled interview time, but with current backlogs, they're often running several hours behind schedule. Here's what you should do: 1. Call the regular EDD number tomorrow morning (not tonight) and try to speak with a claims specialist 2. Document that you were available during your scheduled time 3. Check your UI Online account for any updates or rescheduled interview notices 4. If your claim status changes to "disqualified" after this, file an appeal immediately The good news is that even if they mark you as a no-show, you can appeal and explain that you were available but never received a call.

anyone else notice they ALWAYS run behind on these calls lol i had 3 interviews in the past 2 years and not once did they call during the actual window they gave me

Try using Claimyr to get through to EDD tomorrow. After my interview no-show disaster last month, I spent hours trying to reach someone with no luck. My cousin recommended Claimyr (claimyr.com) and I actually got through to a rep in about 20 minutes. They helped me reschedule my interview and explain that I had been available. You can see how it works in their video: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km - saved me literally days of frustration.

My interview was late by 2 hours but they did eventually call. If they completely missed your interview window today, they should send you a reschedule notice by mail or sometimes through UI Online. Check both daily. I'd still try calling tomorrow morning just to be safe though, even though it's hard to get through.

Ok so I work for a company that deals with EDD claims sometimes and here's what you need to know: the letter you received has a specific phone number listed for the interviewer, right? That's actually who you need to try calling tomorrow - not just the main EDD line. Look at the letter carefully for that direct line. Also check your spam folder for any emails from EDD - sometimes they send rescheduling notices that way too. If you still can't reach anyone by tomorrow afternoon, you might need to go to an EDD office in person as a last resort.

Any updates? Did they end up calling you later or were you able to reach someone?
