Missed EDD phone interview, never received call. What now?

I found a way to solve missed unemployment phone interview, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh-dhFNfHWU

This happened to me too! It's so frustrating. I called the unemployment office and they said they'd reschedule, but it took forever to get through. Keep trying and explain the situation. 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/0UZGuPWGErg

Make sure you document everything! Write down the date and time you were supposed to receive the call, and any attempts you've made to contact them. It might help your case when you finally get through.

ugh, the EDD is such a mess rn. I've heard they're super backlogged bc of all the covid claims. Maybe try reaching out on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep calling the EDD. Use the trick of calling right when they open or just before they close. 2. Document everything. Note down dates, times, and names of anyone you speak to. 3. Check your spam folder and make sure your contact info is up to date in the system. 4. If you can't get through by phone, try sending a message through your online account. 5. As a last resort, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence pays off. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits, so keep fighting for them!

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get what we're owed? 🤡 system's broken af

Same thing happened to me last month! I never got the call either. Here's what worked for me: I called the main EDD number (1-800-300-5616) first thing Monday morning at exactly 8am and kept hitting redial. It took about 45 minutes but I finally got through. When I explained I never received my scheduled interview call, they were actually pretty understanding and rescheduled me for the next week. Make sure to ask for a confirmation number when they reschedule! Also double-check that your phone number is correct in your account - mine had an old number somehow. Don't panic, you won't lose your benefits as long as you can show you tried to participate. Good luck! 🤞
