Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out completely and trying again after a few minutes can help.
I'm in the same boat, been trying to register for weeks now. This ERROR E 318 is driving me crazy. Anyone know if there's an ombudsman or someone we can complain to about these ongoing issues?
You can try contacting your local state representative. Sometimes they can help push things through.

That's a great idea, thanks! I'll look up my rep now.

Listen up, folks. Here's what you need to do to get your continued claim certification sorted: • First, double-check that you're certifying on the correct day. Some people are assigned specific days based on their SSN. • If the online system isn't working, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser. • For phone calls, use this pattern: call, if busy, hang up and immediately redial. Repeat for about 30 minutes. • Consider using the UI Online Mobile app - sometimes it works when the website doesn't. • If all else fails, try contacting your local assembly member's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!
This is gold! 💯 Thanks for taking the time to write this out.

Contacting my assembly member actually worked for me last month. Highly recommend if you're really stuck!

Anyone else feel like we're living in a kafka novel? Trying to get our own money is like solving a rubiks cube blindfolded 🤡
LOL too real. Sometimes I think they make it this hard on purpose 🤔

Quick question - did you make sure to certify for benefits after filing the extension? Sometimes people forget that step and it delays everything.
Oh shoot, I didn't even think about that. I'll double check right now. Thanks for the reminder!

lol welcome to EDD hell. grab a seat, you might be here a while 🔥👹
🤣🤣🤣 ain't that the truth

Anyone else feel like they're playing unemployment roulette? Some weeks I get paid no problem, others it's radio silence 🎰
Omg yes! It's like EDD is run by a magic 8 ball or something 🎱

I'm bout ready to camp outside the EDD office until they fix my claim. Who's with me? ⛺️
Lmao count me in. We can roast marshmallows and swap EDD horror stories 😂
5M
Y'all are funny but for real, has anyone tried going to the office in person? Does it help?
5M
Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help push things through with EDD. Worked for me when I was stuck in limbo for months!
This is actually genius. Never would have thought of that. Thanks for sharing! 👏
5M
Can confirm this works. My rep's office got my issue solved in like 2 days after I spent weeks getting nowhere with EDD directly.
5M
am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to tell them we DONT need money anymore? 🤔 the system is so broken
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose or something
5M
For real. You'd think they'd WANT to know when they can stop sending checks 🤷♂️
5M
have u tried faxing them? i know it sounds old school but sometimes it works 🤷♀️
What year is it, 1995? 🤣 But seriously, that's not a bad idea. Anyone know their fax number?
5M
This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get a simple form. 😤
Preach! 🙌 Maybe we should start a petition or something?
5M
Anybody know if theres a best time of day to call? I feel like Im just playing phone tag with a robot
Early morning, right when they open. Set an alarm and be ready to dial!
5M
I've had luck calling around 2pm. Seems like thats when the lunch rush is over.
5M
OP, whatever you do, DON'T give up. Keep calling, keep trying. It took me 3 weeks of constant attempts but I finally got through and sorted my issue. Stay strong! 💪
Pro tip: If you do end up calling, have all your info ready. Claim number, SSN, address, etc. Makes the process go way faster if you get through.
This might sound crazy, but has anyone tried sending a certified letter to EDD? I did that out of desperation and actually got a response!
Old school, I like it! 📬 Might have to try this if my calls keep going nowhere.
5M
Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open or about an hour before they close. I've had better luck during those times.
Hang in there, OP! We're all in the same boat. The EDD system is a mess, but eventually, it'll work out. Just keep documenting everything and don't be afraid to be persistent.
Thanks for the encouragement! It's good to know I'm not alone in this struggle.

Guys, I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. Called hundreds of times. Here's what finally worked: I contacted my state representative's office. They have a liaison who can escalate your case. It's slow, but it works.

How do you find your state rep? Sorry if that's a dumb question 😅

Not dumb at all! Just google '[your state] find my representative'. Usually the state gov website has a tool where you enter your address.
