To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
From my experience calling EDD, their lunch break seems to vary by department and individual representatives. I've noticed the phones are harder to get through around 12-1pm, but I've also had success calling during that time when others were available. The automated system runs 24/7, but for live representatives, I'd suggest calling early morning (8-9am) or mid-afternoon (2-4pm) for better chances of reaching someone without hitting lunch breaks.
Thanks for sharing your experience with calling EDD! That's really helpful timing advice. I've been struggling to get through for weeks now. Do you have any other tips for getting past the busy signals? I keep getting the "all circuits are busy" message even when I call right at 8am. Also wondering if certain days of the week are better than others for calling?
