EDD Error Code When Starting New Claim - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble starting a new claim on the EDD website. I can log in just fine, but when I try to start a new claim, I keep getting an error code. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any tips on how to get past it? I really need to file this claim ASAP.

Ugh, classic EDD website issues. 🙄 Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that helps with weird glitches.

•This worked for me last time! Also, try using a different browser if clearing cache doesn't help.

I had the same problem last month. Turns out it was because my claim year had ended and I needed to file a new claim instead of reopening my old one. Might be worth checking if that applies to you?

The EDD website is such a joke. I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from filing claims. 😤

•Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something.

•Cmon guys, its not that bad. At least we have an online system. My cousin in another state has to do everything by mail!

•@profile 6 Just because it could be worse doesn't mean it's good enough. We deserve better.

Here's what worked for me when I had this issue: 1. Log out completely 2. Clear browser cache and cookies 3. Restart your computer 4. Log back in and try again 5. If it still doesn't work, try using a different browser or even a different device if possible If none of that works, you might need to call them directly. Good luck!

•Saving this for later. The EDD website is so finicky, it's good to have a troubleshooting guide handy.

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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

•Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

•$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken.

•I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Sometimes you gotta pay to play, ya know?

•I've used it too. Felt kinda weird paying for it, but man, it was worth every penny when I finally got my issue resolved.

Have you checked if there's any scheduled maintenance on the EDD website? Sometimes they do updates that can cause temporary issues.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar problem and it turned out my account was flagged for identity verification. Might be worth checking if that's the case for you too.

•Oh man, I hope that's not it. How did you find out your account was flagged?

•I got a message in my EDD inbox about it. If you don't see anything there, you're probably good.

I had this exact same issue a few weeks ago! What finally worked for me was logging in during off-peak hours (like early morning around 6-7 AM). The EDD system seems to get overloaded during busy times and throws random error codes. Also make sure you're using Chrome or Firefox - I noticed Safari gave me more problems. If you're still stuck after trying the browser fixes everyone mentioned, the early morning login trick might be your best bet. Hope this helps!
