EDD maze!


Its like winning the lottery! I have been attempting to contact the Employment Development Department by phone. Yesterday I called 273 times and was able to get into the phone tree 11 times, resulting in "there are more calls than they can handle, GoodBy" every time. I have them on speed dial. They open their office at 8:am, so I started calling at 7:55am. 24 attempts and finally I got through, it was a chance of a lifetime, to actually talk to a real person! I explain my circumstances; I lost a form. She asks me about fourty questions over a period of 32 minutes, and tells me she will submit the request. OK it is now a waiting game again. I wonder how many other applicants just give up. I would be willing to volunteer to answer calls for EDD if it would help others like myself. What a pain.
