I swear, the EDD website is held together with duct tape and prayers. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to access our benefits. The whole system needs an overhaul!

Hey OP, any luck fixing the issue? Keep us posted!

Anyone else notice that the SDI website is always "down for maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

I heard they're implementing a new system soon to speed up claims. Anyone know if that's true or just another rumor?

OK, let me put on my tech support hat 🧢 Here's a step-by-step guide that might help: 1. Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) 2. Clear your cache and cookies 3. Disable any ad-blockers or VPNs 4. Make sure your internet connection is stable 5. Try incognito/private browsing mode 6. If possible, use a different device (phone, tablet, another computer) 7. Double-check that you're entering all information correctly 8. If all else fails, try during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) If none of these work, you might have to bite the bullet and call. Good luck!

lol welcome to the club 🤡 been trying to fix an issue for 3 months now. The system is a joke

I've heard rumors that they're updating the system soon. Maybe that'll make things easier? lol who am I kidding, it'll probably make everything worse 😂

Has anyone tried reaching out to their local representative? I've heard some people have had success that way.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🎪🤡 where everything's made up and the error codes don't matter

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😂 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out completely, waiting a bit, and then trying again can help. EDD's system is held together with duct tape and prayers I swear

This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's a joke that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to. Anyone else feel like were living in a dystopian nightmare? 🤡

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open in the morning. I got through after only a 30 min wait last week. Good luck!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 grab a seat, you'll be here a while

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but I've heard some people have had success that way. Apparently some offices still prioritize faxes 🤷‍♂️

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🎢 where everything's made up and the dates don't matter 🤡

Here's what you need to do to fix this ASAP: 1. Call EDD first thing in the morning. Like, the second they open. 2. Explain the date typo on your DE 2593 form. 3. Ask them to update it in their system immediately. 4. Request an expedited review of your case due to the delay. 5. Get the name and ID number of the rep you speak with. 6. Ask for an estimated time for when your payment will be processed. 7. Follow up with an email summarizing your call (paper trail is key). Don't let them brush you off. Be polite but firm. Remember, it's their mistake for not catching an obvious typo. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat, been trying to figure this out for weeks. Anyone know if they're still doing those extra federal payments on top of regular unemployment?

Pro tip: if you're having trouble with the online system, try accessing the website during off-peak hours. I had much better luck filing my claim at 2 AM when the site wasn't being hammered.

OP, what's your zodiac sign? Mercury is in retrograde rn, might be affecting your payments 🔮✨

Anyone else think its weird that we pay into this system our whole working lives, but when we actually need it, its like pulling teeth to get help? The whole things a joke tbh
