I found a way to actually 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/V-IMvH88P1U
Claimyr has definitely helped many people, but it's unfortunate such services are necessary in the first place.
I heard they updated their system recently and it's causing all kinds of glitches. Might explain why your coworkers are getting paid and you're not. Hang in there!
I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than my last job. Maybe we should all apply to work there and fix it from the inside π΅οΈββοΈ

The whole system is broken. I've been trying to file a claim for THREE WEEKS now. It's ridiculous that we can't even get basic help when we need it most. π‘

β’I feel you. Itβs hard to believe this is the best system we have for such a critical need.

Here's what worked for me after weeks of trying: 1. Call right when they open (8:00 AM in my state) 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and redial immediately 3. Keep doing this until you get into the queue 4. Once in the queue, DO NOT HANG UP no matter how long the wait 5. Have all your info ready when you finally get through It took me about 50 redials, but I finally got through and resolved my issue. Good luck!

β’This is actually solid advice. I did something similar and it worked after a few days of trying. Persistence is key!

β’50 redials seems daunting but it's a reality for many. Patience pays off!
