Don't panic! It happens. Call EDD asap and explain the situation. They usually give you a chance to reschedule. Just be polite and apologetic when you talk to them.

Ugh, the EDD system is such a mess. I missed my interview too and it took WEEKS to get it rescheduled. Good luck, you're gonna need it 🙄

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm gonna call them first thing tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed 🤞

lol welcome to the club. EDD is a joke. I've been trying to get my benefits sorted for 3 months now. It's like they WANT us to give up 🤡

To address your concern about missing your EDD phone interview, it's essential to act quickly. It's not uncommon for scheduling conflicts to arise, and the EDD generally understands this. Start by calling the EDD immediately to explain your situation. Having your claim number handy will streamline the process. If you are unable to reach them, consider writing a formal request for rescheduling. Some people have found tools like Claimyr helpful to get through to EDD representatives, albeit at a cost, which might be worthwhile if it prevents a delay in benefits. Moreover, reaching out to your local assembly member has proven effective for some individuals, as they can sometimes expedite the process. While tools like Claimyr are reputable, always ensure that you're comfortable with the costs involved and verify any service through trusted sources or reviews. Ultimately, persistence and politeness are key—many have found EDD to be accommodating once they make contact, so don't lose hope.

Anyone else notice how the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're stuck in 1995 or something

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD. Worth a shot!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call EDD immediately 2. Explain the scheduling conflict 3. Ask for a reschedule ASAP 4. Have your claim number ready 5. Be prepared to explain why you missed it 6. Follow up with a written request if they don't reschedule on the spot Don't wait for them to contact you. Be proactive! The sooner you address this, the less likely it is to affect your benefits. Good luck!

I found a method to 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. https://claimyr.com

Hey OP, don't sweat it too much. I missed my interview last month and thought I was doomed. But I called, explained the situation, and they were actually pretty understanding. Just be honest and polite. You got this!

Bruh, I feel you. Missed mine cuz my phone died. Took forever to get it fixed but keep trying. Don't let the system win! 💪
