Missed EDD phone interview and got disconnected - How to reschedule?

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. EDD's phone system is a nightmare. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works better.

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. The EDD system is such a nightmare to deal with. Have you tried calling them back? Sometimes you gotta just keep hitting redial until you get through.

Don't panic! You can usually reschedule. Try logging into your EDD account online and see if there's an option to request a new interview date. If not, keep calling until you get through. It's frustrating, but persistence pays off.

Hey, don't panic! I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't freak out. Missed interviews happen all the time. 2. Try to reschedule online first. Log into your EDD account and look for any rescheduling options. 3. If that doesn't work, start calling. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on hold. 4. Call exactly at 8:00 AM when they open. That's usually the best time to get through. 5. If you can't get through, try sending a message through your online account. Sometimes they respond to those. 6. As a last resort, you can try contacting your local assembly member's office. They sometimes have direct lines to EDD. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

Pro tip: If you missed your phone interview, you can sometimes request a new one online through your EDD account. Look for the 'Request a Phone Interview' option. Might save you some time on hold!

have u tried faxing them? sometimes old school methods work better with these dinosaur agencies lol

omg i'm in the EXACT same boat rn 😭 missed my interview yesterday and been trying to get thru all day. this system is a JOKE

I'm in the same boat, missed my interview last week. Been calling non-stop but no luck. This whole system is a joke. Good luck to you, OP!

Pro tip: if you get disconnected, immediately call back. Sometimes you can get right through if you're quick enough.

Anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? The system is broken af 😤

Hey OP, what number were you calling? There's a special number for rescheduling missed interviews that sometimes works better.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep trying to call. The best times are usually right when they open or about an hour before they close. 2. Check your online account for any messages or updates about your missed interview. 3. If you can't get through by phone, try sending a message through your online account. Be polite but explain your situation clearly. 4. As a last resort, you might need to go to an EDD office in person. Bring all your documentation. 5. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what was said. 6. If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, missing an interview isn't the end of the world. They deal with this all the time. Just be persistent and patient. Good luck!

have u tried faxing them? sounds old school but sometimes it works lol

I swear EDD is like playing the lottery. You might get lucky and get through, or you might waste your whole day listening to hold music. Anyone else feel like they're gonna go crazy if they hear that 'your call is important to us' message one more time?

I've been in this exact situation before! Here's what worked for me: First, don't panic - they understand people miss interviews. Try calling the dedicated interview line (1-800-300-5616) rather than the main number. If you can't get through, log into your EDD account and look for a "Request Interview" or "Reschedule Interview" option. Also, try calling at different times - I had luck around 2-3 PM when call volume was lower. Keep a log of when you called and any confirmation numbers. Worst case, you can contact your state assembly member's office for help. You've got this! 💪
