EDD Callback Service: Paid but No Call - What to Do?

I found a way to solve EDD callback service not working, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h5VwMOMkK4

This whole situation is giving me major anxiety. Anyone else losing sleep over this EDD nonsense? 😰

Hey OP, what callback service did you use? I'm in the same boat and considering trying one out.

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. (https://claimyr.com

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, emailing, and trying different methods. 2. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, email, and interaction. 3. Use their online portal if possible. Sometimes it's faster than calling. 4. If you paid for a service, follow up with them. They might have additional steps you need to take. 5. Check your mail regularly. Sometimes they send important info via snail mail (I know, it's 2023, right? 🙄) 6. Join EDD-related Facebook groups or subreddits. You can get real-time updates and tips from others in the same boat. 7. If all else fails, consider reaching out to your local assemblyperson or state senator. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up!

The EDD system is completely BROKEN. I've been dealing with this nonsense for MONTHS. It's a joke. They need to fix this ASAP!!!

idk man, maybe its time to look for a new job? The economy's picking up in some areas.

Guys, I think I cracked the code. If you call and press 2, then 7, then 1, then do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around, you might get through to a real person. Maybe. Possibly. Probably not. 🤣

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails end up there. Also, make sure the phone number you gave them is correct.

It's understandable to feel frustrated when dealing with EDD, especially given the backlog and delays. Callback services like Claimyr can be beneficial as they allow you to bypass long hold times. However, it's important to manage expectations: while many users report success using Claimyr, the service doesn't guarantee immediate results and the waiting time can vary based on demand and timing. Additionally, while the $20 fee might seem high, for some, the time and stress saved is worth the cost. It's crucial to follow up with the callback service if delays persist and ensure all your contact information is accurate and up-to-date. Ultimately, using Claimyr is just one part of an approach to manage EDD issues, alongside regularly checking communication channels, documenting interactions, and reaching out to local representatives for assistance when needed.

Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes you gotta be persistent and keep calling until you get through.

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point 🤡

Ugh, I feel you. The EDD system is a total mess rn. I've been waiting for weeks and nothing. It's like they're ghosting us or something 🙄

I'm in a similar situation - paid for a callback service about 10 days ago and still haven't heard anything. It's really frustrating, especially when you're already stressed about EDD issues. I've been checking my phone constantly and even called the service to confirm they have the right number. They said they're experiencing high demand and to be patient, but it's hard when you need answers. Has anyone had success disputing charges with their credit card company if these services don't deliver? I'm starting to wonder if I should just keep trying the traditional route of calling EDD directly, even though it's been impossible to get through.

I'm dealing with something similar - used a callback service about a week ago and still waiting. The anxiety is real! One thing I've learned from reading these threads is that these services can take longer than expected, especially during peak times. I'm giving mine until the end of this week before I consider disputing the charge. In the meantime, I've been documenting everything - screenshots of the payment, confirmation emails, etc. It's frustrating because we're already dealing with EDD stress and then have to worry about whether these paid services even work. Solidarity to everyone going through this nightmare! 💪

Same boat here! Used a callback service 5 days ago and still waiting. The worst part is not knowing if it's even working or if I just threw my money away. I've been refreshing my email and checking my phone obsessively. Has anyone tried contacting the callback service directly to ask for updates? I'm wondering if they at least give you some kind of status update or if you're just supposed to wait blindly. This whole EDD situation is such a nightmare - we shouldn't have to pay third parties just to access basic government services! 😤

I'm in the exact same situation! Used Claimyr about 6 days ago and still haven't gotten any calls back. The waiting is honestly the worst part because you just don't know if it's working or if you've been scammed. I've been checking my phone constantly and even had my family members call me to make sure it's working properly lol. What's really frustrating is that we're paying these services because the actual EDD system is so broken that it's literally impossible to get through on our own. At this point I'm considering just eating the $20 loss and trying to call directly again, but I know that's probably futile too. Has anyone actually gotten their money back from these callback services when they don't deliver? This whole thing is such a mess! 😩

I'm going through the exact same thing! Paid for a callback service 4 days ago and still nothing. The worst part is feeling like you're in limbo - you don't want to try other methods because you're waiting for the service you paid for, but you also don't know if it's even working. I've been screenshot-ing everything just in case I need to dispute the charge later. It's honestly insane that we have to resort to paying third-party services just to reach a government agency that's supposed to help us. The whole EDD system feels like it's designed to make us give up. Stay strong everyone - we shouldn't have to jump through all these hoops just to get the help we're entitled to! 💪
