Hey OP, how long has it been since you filed? Sometimes it can take up to 10 business days for them to process everything.
I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they had my old address on file. Double-check all your info is up to date!
Thanks for the tip! I'll def check that. Didn't even think about that possibility

Not to be that person, but have you double-checked that you're eligible for disability? The rules can be tricky and sometimes people apply when they don't actually qualify. Might save you some headache if you review the requirements.
Yeah, I've gone over the requirements a bunch of times. I'm pretty sure I qualify, which is why the denial is so frustrating. But thanks for checking!

This might sound weird, but try reaching out on Twitter. I've seen people get responses from EDD's social media team when all else failed. Worth a shot! š¤·āāļø
lol welcome to the wonderful world of SDI where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up š¤” but srsly, hope you get it sorted soon
Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? I hear that works sometimes š
Instructions unclear, goat ate my claim forms. Now what? šš

Congrats, you've unlocked the secret 'goat' level of SDI hell. Prepare for a 12-week delay and a request for goat-resistant paperwork š¤£

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open in the morning. The wait times are usually shorter then.
Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to understand all this disability stuff? š¤£
LOL for real tho. I'm convinced they write these policies in alien language š½

Pro tip: If you're getting an error online, try filing by mail. Yeah, it's old school, but sometimes it's the only way to get around their janky system. You can download the forms from their website and mail them in. Takes longer, but at least it works!
Snail mail in 2023? What a joke. EDD needs to get with the times and fix their online system already šš©

Anyone else feel like they're trapped in a kafka-esque nightmare dealing with EDD? It's like, you can't file online cuz of errors, can't get through on the phone, and when you do it's a different answer every time. I'm bout ready to give up fr š©
Preach! š I've been in this maze for months. Sometimes I wonder if it's all just a elaborate prank and there's actually no such thing as unemployment benefits š¤”

Hang in there! It sucks but don't give up. That's what they want - for us to get frustrated and stop trying. Keep pushing!

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that works better than online submission. also check ur spam folder for emails from edd, they like to hide there lol
This is why we need universal basic income. The whole system is a joke. š¤”
Yeah because giving free money to everyone would totally solve all our problems š Get real.

Has anyone had luck with the callback feature? I've been waiting for days and nothing.
Callback feature is a myth, change my mind

I actually got a callback once... at 3am š

Has anyone tried reaching out to their state representative for help? I've heard sometimes they can intervene if you're having trouble with EDD.
I did this! It actually worked. Took about 2 weeks, but my rep's office was able to get EDD to sort out my issue. Def worth a try if you're stuck.

Quick tip: if you're gonna try calling, use a phone that can do three-way calling. That way, if you finally get through and they need to transfer you, you can add a third line instead of getting disconnected and having to start all over. Learned that the hard way š
Here's what I've learned about ERROR E 318 and how to potentially resolve it: 1. First, make sure all your personal information is 100% accurate. Even a small typo can trigger this error. 2. Try using a different browser. Chrome and Firefox tend to work best with the SDI website. 3. Clear your browser cache and cookies before attempting to register again. 4. If possible, use a desktop or laptop computer instead of a mobile device. 5. Check your internet connection. A unstable connection can sometimes cause this error. 6. If none of the above work, you may need to verify your identity in person. You can schedule an appointment at your local SDI office. 7. As a last resort, you can try calling the SDI helpline, but be prepared for long wait times. If you're still stuck after trying these steps, you might want to consider using a service like Claimyr to get through to a representative faster. It costs money, but it could save you a lot of time and frustration. Hope this helps! Let us know if you manage to resolve the issue.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! I'll work through these steps and update everyone on what works.

This should be pinned or something. Super helpful info!

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with SDI website errors? š We could call it 'Error Code Anonymous' or something lol
LOL sign me up šāāļø I'll bring the error-themed snacks

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system? This is ridiculous. We're in 2023 and we're still dealing with paper forms and hour-long hold times. š¤”
