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
If you missed the from EDD, don't panic! You can try calling back using the same number they called from (usually shows up in your log). If that doesn't work, you'll need to go through the regular callback process again. Make sure your phone is charged and you're in a good reception area for the next call. Also, keep your claim number and ID ready so the process goes smoothly when you do connect.
This is really helpful advice! I had no idea you could back using the number that shows up in your log. I've been stressing about missing calls and having to start the whole process over again. Do you know if there's a specific time window for calling back, or can you try anytime during business hours?
From my experience, you usually have a pretty good window to back - I'd say within a few hours is your best bet, but definitely try during their business hours (8 AM to 12 PM). The key is to back as soon as you notice the missed call. Sometimes the representative who called you might still be available, or at least your case might still be flagged in their system. Just be prepared that you might still get put in a queue, but it's usually faster than starting completely over.
If you missed the call, try calling back immediately using the number that called you - it should show up in your recent calls list. If that doesn't work, you'll unfortunately need to request another callback through the usual process. For future calls, I recommend keeping your phone on high volume, staying near it during the callback window they give you, and having all your documents ready (ID, claim number, etc.). Some people also find success calling the main number right after missing the callback since your case might still be active in their system. Don't give up - it's frustrating but you'll get through eventually!
Thank you for the detailed advice! I'm actually dealing with this exact situation right now - missed my callback yesterday and have been worried sick about it. I didn't know you could try calling back using the number from your log, that's such a useful tip! I'm definitely going to try that first thing this morning. The part about having all documents ready is so important too - I learned that the hard way during my first attempt when I was scrambling to find my claim number. Really appreciate you sharing your experience, it gives me hope that I can still get this sorted out without starting completely over.
If you missed the call, here's what worked for me: First, check your log immediately and try calling that number back - sometimes you can get through to the same department or even the person who called you. If that doesn't work, you can also try the main number (1-800-300-5616) right away since your case might still be flagged as active in their system. For future callbacks, I learned to set multiple alarms, keep my phone on maximum volume, and stay within earshot during the entire callback window they give you. Also, write down all your info beforehand (SSN, claim number, etc.) so you're not scrambling if you do get through. It's super stressful when you miss it, but don't panic - you can get another callback scheduled, it just takes persistence with their system.
This is exactly what I needed to hear! I missed my callback this morning and have been freaking out all day thinking I'd have to wait weeks to get another one. I had no idea you could try calling back using the number from your log - that's such a game changer! I'm definitely going to try that first thing tomorrow morning. The tip about setting multiple alarms is brilliant too, I only had one reminder and of course that's when I stepped outside. Really appreciate you taking the time to share what worked for you, it gives me so much hope that this isn't a complete disaster. Going to get everything organized tonight so I'm ready if I do get through!
If you missed your callback, don't stress too much! Here's what you should do: 1) Check your log immediately and try calling that exact number back - sometimes you can reach the same department or rep who called you. 2) If that doesn't work, the main line (1-800-300-5616) right away since your case might still be active. 3) If neither works, you'll need to request a new callback through their automated system. For next time, keep your phone on loud, stay nearby during your callback window, and have all your info ready (claim number, ID, etc.). I know it's frustrating, but many people successfully get through on their second or third attempt. You've got this!
This is such helpful advice, thank you! I'm new to dealing with and honestly had no idea what to do if I missed a callback. The step-by-step approach you laid out makes this feel so much more manageable. I especially appreciate the tip about calling back using the exact number from the log - I never would have thought of that! It's reassuring to know that many people get through on their second or third attempt. I've been so anxious about the whole process, but your encouragement really helps. Going to save this comment for reference!
