To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
You can find your EDD customer account number in several places: 1) On any previous correspondence from EDD (letters, notices, or emails), 2) On your UI Online account - log in at edd.ca.gov and it should display your account number, 3) On your EDD debit card if you have one, or 4) Call EDD customer service at 1-800-300-5616 (though wait times can be long). If you can't access UI Online and don't have any paperwork, you may need to call or visit a local EDD office with your ID and Social Security card to verify your identity and get your account number.
Thank you @Miranda Singer for such a comprehensive answer! I m'in a similar situation and have been struggling to find my account number. I tried logging into UI Online but it keeps asking for the account number to verify my identity - seems like a catch-22. Do you know if there s'a way around this? I don t'have any previous EDD correspondence since this is my first time filing. The phone lines have been impossible to get through to. Would visiting a local office be my best bet at this point?
