Shana 1-17-12 Your response worked..... You call the number, 1-800-300-5616 press one for english, then press 1 to check your payment amount, press 3 to change your pin. Follow the prompts to enter your ss# and weekly amount. Then they will ask you to change your pin. Do nothing and after the robot goes through the motions several times you will be prompted to enter 0 to speak to someone. You are then told the wait is about 3 minutes. And a very nice person will come on and help you within that time. I had to call a 2nd time and the Vietemese trick worked too =) Vietnamese line 800-547-2058. Wait for the initial message to pause, press 6,wait for message to start, 7, wait, 3, wait, SS#, wait, 1. and the beautiful music of being qued for a representative starts, and then…… I was finished in 2 minutes, questions answered and complimented on my intelligence to navigate the maze and come out with a big piece of cheese. You only have to wait for the messages to start, you don’t have to wait through the whole message after each prompt. I got through!!

I was on hold listening to music for about 3 minutes. The agent was so helpful and kind. What a relief! Best of luck everyone. Don't give up!

This worked! I been calling EDD for 3 soild weeks now! Emailed twice! I called the number, then when it started talking I pressed, 6, wait, 7, wait, and then my social, and once he starts repeating the numbers, they sound the same as English numbers, 3. There was some pretty music and then a long silent pause, but then a guy answered and he helped and didn't question my lack of Vietnamese or anything. It was great! Never calling English line again! Lol Thank you!

No beautiful music. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Tricky thing was that the "Beautiful Music" played for a minute then the call went through. The call was still connected so I waited and eventually a Vietnamese man answered in english and was very cool about the whole situation. Follow Martins instructctions and be careful to listen for the pauses. martin permalink October 26, 2011 I don’t see my comment so I’ll try again, Vietnamese line 800-547-2058.
