EDD Certification Issue: Page Freezing Up, Need Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my certification process. I tried to certify but ran into an issue. Has anyone else experienced problems certifying recently? Any tips on how to fix it or get through to someone who can help?

Ugh, certification issues are the worst! I've been there too. What exactly happened when you tried to certify? Did you get an error message or something?

Thanks for asking. I didn't get a specific error message, it just wouldn't let me complete the process. The page kept freezing up on me. So frustrating!

That sucks! Have you tried using a different browser or clearing your cache? Sometimes that helps with weird website issues.

I swear the certification system is designed to make us fail. Its like they dont want us to get our benefits 🙄

Preach! 🙌 Sometimes I wonder if they're trying to save money by making it so hard to certify that people just give up.

Guys, lets not assume malice. The systems probably just overloaded with all the claims. Still sucks tho

I found a method to 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds interesting, but $20? Is it really worth it?

For me it was. I spent hours trying to get through on my own. This saved me so much time and frustration.

Idk, seems kinda sketchy. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but it's legit. They even have a money-back guarantee if you don't get through.

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at the unemployment office can get their attention faster than calling.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with certification issues for the past few months: 1. Try certifying at off-peak hours (like early morning or late night) 2. Double-check all your answers before submitting 3. Keep a record of your work search activities 4. If the website isn't working, try the phone system 5. Be persistent! Sometimes it takes multiple attempts Hope this helps someone out there. We're all in this together! 💪

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try certifying during off-peak hours.

anyone else feel like they need a degree in computer science just to navigate the unemployment system? lmao 🤣

LOL for real tho. I'm convinced the website was designed by a team of evil geniuses 🤡
