Trouble certifying for EDD - Any tips to get through on the phone?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to certify for EDD and I'm having some trouble. Has anyone else had issues with this lately? I've been trying to get through on the phone but no luck so far. Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

Ugh, certifying for EDD is such a pain these days. I've been dealing with this for months now. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works for me.

Calling when they open hasn't worked for me in weeks. It's like everyone had the same idea 😩

Same here. I've tried early morning, late afternoon, nothing seems to work. It's so frustrating!

I found a method that actually works 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20? That's kinda steep just to talk to someone... is it really worth it?

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. After weeks of trying to get through, I was desperate. The $20 was worth it to finally get my issue resolved.

Have you tried certifying online? Sometimes its easier than dealing with the phone system.

The EDD system is so broken rn. I've been trying to certify for weeks and keep getting error messages. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yep, same here. It's like they don't want us to get our benefits 🙄

I heard they're updating the system. Maybe that's why everything's messed up?

Pro tip: If you're having trouble certifying online, try using a different browser or clearing your cache. Sometimes that fixes weird glitches in the system.

Anyone know if there's been any changes to the certification process recently? I swear it used to be easier...

I think they added some new questions about job search activities. It's confusing af 🤔

Honestly, at this point I'm considering just giving up on my claim. It's not worth the stress and headache. Anyone else feel this way?

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative for help with EDD issues? I've heard some people have had success with that.

LPT: Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online attempt. It might come in handy if you need to appeal or prove you've been trying to certify.
