Need help getting Spanish-speaking EDD rep for unemployment claim

When you call, just ask for a Spanish-speaking rep right away. They should be able to transfer you. Good luck!

Protip: call early in the morning, like right when they open. You'll have a better chance of getting through quickly.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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/Ize0EkN4HDI

make sure you have all ur employment history ready before u call. theyll ask for dates, employer names, reasons for leaving, etc. makes the process go way smoother 👍

ugh, EDD is such a nightmare. i've been trying to get through for weeks. good luck, OP! 🍀

Here's a comprehensive guide for dealing with EDD and getting Spanish-language assistance: 1. Prepare all your documents beforehand: employment history, ID, social security card, etc. 2. Call the Spanish line directly: 1-800-326-8937 3. Best times to call: Tuesday-Thursday, right when they open (8 AM) 4. If you can't get through, try the online portal and look for the language settings 5. Be patient and persistent. Sometimes it takes multiple tries 6. Consider using a call-back service if you're really struggling 7. Remember, you have the right to request a Spanish-speaking rep at any time Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol good luck. EDD is where dreams go to die 💀

Just wanted to add that if you're more comfortable reading in Spanish, the EDD website also has a Spanish version (edd.ca.gov/es). You can navigate through most of the initial application process online in Spanish, which might help you prepare better before you call. Also, don't be discouraged if your English isn't perfect - the reps are used to helping people with different language levels and they're generally pretty patient. You got this! 💪
