EDD no longer has the deli counter ticket system! They now have a QR code you scan with your phone…read morecamera, click the link and then enter your name and phone number. This way you don't have to sit in the undersized waiting room to see your number come up. You can sit in your car, go walk around, find a bathroom, all without fear of loosing your place. A text notifies you when you are close to being called so you can return and be ready. It sounds like that system went into effect on 10/7. Be aware that they are still working out some kinks behind the counter but I was called up and out of there within an hour. Today the gentlemen that helped me was patient, understanding and took the time to understand what the documents I provided were and how they applied to the issues Ive had in regard to my claim. After many interactions with apathetic, rude, and seemingly inconvenienced EDD staff, today's visit was a big step in the right direction that I hope they continue.

Apparently, according to EDD, a person can disrespect their boss/owner of business by calling them…read morea "Bitch" and still get approved for unemployment even though other factors were involved. "Calling the boss a Bitch" , to their face is not a reason to fire that person. Ummm, what's wrong with this picture? Where's the respect good Employers deserve? This is a ridiculous, immature call by the EDD to allow employees this freedom. This person deserved to get fired for other reasons, disrupting clients, being late numerous times, no shows, etc. Just saying...

At first, it was weird because as soon as you enter the office, there's a security sitting but very helpful instructed me to take a number and fill out a paper. After my number was called, I was informed that someone will call me but not sure whether to stay or leave, so I decided to leave and run some errands. In less than 30 minutes I received a call and drove back to turn in some paperwork. It was that easy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It's definitely worth a drive.

Don't try to call them! The recording will just disconnect you. You have to go to the office wait an hour (or 2) just for them to put you in the queue for a phone call with 24 hrs. You better answer when they call or else you'll have to go back to the office. After doing all that, I finally got a call... something is missing... ok cool. I fixed it. They tell me it will get processed in 14-15 days. Ugh! I went back to the office 5 times and got 5 different phone calls. Each time there's something different that the previous person did not tell me. 5 calls, 5 different issues!!!! Still no $$. It's now been almost 2 months. It's not like I have bills or anything! I hate these people with a fiery passion!!

Another bloated state agency raking in billions in taxpayer dollars -- including what the applicant paid in -- while delivering some of the worst customer service imaginable: endless phone tree loops, vague website instructions, and zero accountability. They simply don't care. A simple website update could fix most of this. If more documents are needed, just post a clear notification in the applicant's secure account (with 2SV). Instead, they force you into an endless cycle of calling, where every attempt ends with 'no one is available.' After days of that frustration, you're left with no choice but to drive 1.5 hours each way -- three times in the past week and a half -- just to get basic answers in person. You show up, take a number, wait, and then they call your cell from inside the office. It's absurd. The whole process is broken, wastes everyone's time and money, and traps people who have no other options. TLDR: To the people running this agency-Update your website to allow secure, detailed notifications and required document lists directly in the applicant's account. Stop forcing unnecessary drives and endless dead-end calls. Do better.

I always like to ask them how they are doing and if it's typically this busy for them or if it's unusual, they usually do have a reason either a big wave or two people out so short handed etc. I know that would be stressful for me if I was an employee in their shoes.
