Ugh, ID.me is the worst! I had the same issue when I was applying. It took me like 3 days to finally get verified. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that helps.

I feel your pain! The whole system is a joke. I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from applying. Hang in there!

yall ever think about how much easier this would be if the government just gave us all UBI? 🤔

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there without notifying you.

Guys, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works.

For those looking for a structured method to address payment issues, consider the following: - Confirm the payment schedule and note any government holidays or expected delays. - Set up alerts on your phone to remind you of upcoming payments. - If your payment is consistently delayed, file a formal complaint, and include any confirmation numbers and correspondence. - Some non-profits offer assistance for those struggling with delayed disability payments. Research local organizations that specialize in disability aid.

Anyone else feel like they're trapped in a Kafka novel trying to navigate this system? It's absurd.

Anyone else notice that their system always seems to "crash" right when you're about to submit your weekly claim? 🙄 It's like they're doing it on purpose I swear

Hey OP, congrats on the pregnancy! Sorry you're dealing with this mess. Sending positive vibes your way ❤️

Plot twist: what if the info on file is actually wrong? 🤔 Maybe someone fat-fingered your data when entering it into the system.

Plot twist: what if EDD is actually run by squirrels and that's why everything takes so long? 🐿️🤔

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

Be prepared to wait. Like, a loooong time. I once spent 3 hours on hold before I got through. Bring snacks and maybe a good book lol

I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than trying to get tickets to a Taylor Swift concert 🎤

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic! This is more common than you think. 2. Gather all your EDD documents and personal ID. 3. Call EDD immediately. Be persistent, you might need to try multiple times. 4. Explain the situation clearly and ask them to verify your identity. 5. If it's identity theft, file a police report and contact EDD's fraud department. 6. Document everything! Keep a record of all calls and correspondence. 7. Consider placing a freeze on your credit as a precaution. 8. Be patient. Unfortunately, resolving this can take time. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing!

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just storm the unemployment office. They can't ignore us if we're right there in front of them! (I'm kidding... mostly 😅

Has anyone else noticed that the website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trying to gaslight us or something

Same boat here. Submitted my form two weeks ago and crickets. Starting to wonder if they even received it.
