EDD Error Code Preventing Account Access & New Claim - Need Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment account. I got an error code and now I can't access it or start a new claim. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on how to reset my password or get around this error?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is such a nightmare sometimes. Have you tried calling their tech support line? It might take forever to get through, but they should be able to help with password resets.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been trying to call all day but no luck getting through. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You might have better luck getting through then. Good luck! š

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out my account was locked due to too many failed login attempts. I had to verify my identity again to unlock it. Maybe check if that's whats happening with yours?

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that can help with weird error codes. Also, make sure you're using a supported browser. The EDD website can be picky about that stuff.

I'll give that a shot, thanks! Didn't even think about browser compatibility.

Guys, I found a way 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. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

I was skeptical at first too, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken š¤¦āāļø

I get it, but when you're desperate and cant get through, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. It beats losing out on benefits or waiting weeks for a response.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD errors and password issues: ā¢ First, try resetting your password through the 'Forgot Password' link on the login page. If that doesn't work: ā¢ Call the EDD technical support line at 1-800-300-5616. Be prepared for a long wait. ā¢ If you can't get through, try their online contact form. Go to 'Contact EDD' on their website and select 'Unable to Access UI Online Account'. ā¢ Check if your account is locked. This can happen after multiple failed login attempts. You might need to verify your identity again. ā¢ Make sure you're using a supported browser and try clearing your cache and cookies. ā¢ If all else fails, you might need to create a new account. But only do this as a last resort, as it can complicate things. Remember, persistence is key with EDD. Don't give up!

Have you tried turning it off and on again? š 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
