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
Another option is to check any old paperwork or mail you received from EDD when you first applied - your account number should be printed on award letters, determination notices, or other official correspondence. If you can't find any paperwork, you can also try logging into UI Online with your SSN and see if it automatically pulls up your account, or use the "Forgot Account Number" feature on the login page.
This is really helpful advice! I completely forgot about checking old mail - I just found my account number on an old determination letter from when I first applied. For anyone else struggling, definitely dig through any EDD paperwork you might have saved. It saved me from having to wait on hold for hours!
If you're still having trouble after trying the online portal, another tip is to check if you have the EDD mobile app installed on your phone. Sometimes the app stores your account info even if you can't remember it. Also, if you've moved recently, make sure to update your address with EDD first before trying to access your account, as mismatched addresses can cause login issues. The customer service lines are usually less busy early in the morning (around 8 AM) if you need to call.
Great tip about calling early in the morning! I've been trying to get through for days and hadn't thought about timing it right. The mobile app suggestion is smart too - I didn't even know EDD had an app. Quick question though - if I moved but haven't updated my address yet, should I do that online first or call to update it? I'm worried about creating more complications with my account access.
