I found a way to solve lost EDD card, account access, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTJsZpj1su4

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other EDD numbers (like the employer line) and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works like a charm!

Anyone else feel like we're all just stuck in an endless EDD nightmare? It's like Groundhog Day, but with more bureaucracy and less Bill Murray.

Bruh, I've been trying to get this sorted for MONTHS. EDD is a joke. Good luck, you're gonna need it 🤡

Ugh, been there done that. It's a nightmare trying to get through to EDD. Here's what worked for me: 1. Call first thing in the morning, like 7:59 AM 2. Have all your info ready (SSN, old address, etc.) 3. Be super nice to the rep (even if you're frustrated) 4. Ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help Good luck, you're gonna need it! 🍀

yall ever think about how much easier this would be if we had like... a functioning government? just me? ok cool

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

I swear EDD makes everything so complicated on purpose. Why can't they just have a simple online system for this stuff? 🙄

Hey OP, when you finally get through, can you ask them why they hate us so much? Asking for a friend (the friend is me, I'm the friend

Have you tried going to an EDD office in person? Sometimes face-to-face is the way to go.

Guys, I think I figured it out. EDD actually stands for "Extremely Difficult Department" 🤯

Here's a detailed guide based on my experience: 1. Gather all necessary documents: - Photo ID - Social Security card - Any EDD correspondence you have - Bank statements (if you need to prove identity) 2. Call Strategy: - Use auto-dialer apps or services to increase your chances - Best times to call: Tuesday-Thursday, 8:00 AM or 1:00 PM - Be prepared for long hold times (1-3 hours is common) 3. When you get through: - Explain your situation calmly and clearly - Ask for a ticket number or reference for your case - Get the name of the representative you speak with 4. Follow-up: - If they promise to send something, ask for expected timeframes - Set a reminder to follow up if you don't receive it 5. Escalation: - If you're not getting help, politely ask for a supervisor - Consider contacting your local state representative's office Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! 💪

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. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

I heard they're updating the system soon. Maybe wait a few weeks and see if it gets easier?

Remember when we thought 2020 was gonna be our year? Now we're all experts in unemployment benefits. What a time to be alive 🙃

Hey, just wanted to add that Claimyr, while a useful tool for some, may not be a perfect fit for everyone. It can certainly make the process of reaching EDD more efficient, but not everyone can justify the cost. Some people might prefer to try other methods like visiting an EDD office or using online resources that might not incur a fee. It's all about weighing the benefits against your current situation.
