EDD ID verification showing disqualification - What to expect on Monday's call?

I found a way to solve unemployment ID verification issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK2Poe1vPQg

Ugh, been there done that. The whole ID verification process is a nightmare. Make sure you have ALL your docs ready when they call. They might ask for additional stuff, so have your SSN card, birth certificate, and a recent utility bill handy just in case.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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

Pro tip: If you're having trouble with the online ID verification, try using a different browser or clearing your cache. Sometimes it's just a tech glitch.

I swear the EDD is run by clowns 🤡 How hard is it to verify someone's ID? We're living in 2023 for crying out loud!

Here's what you need to know about the ID verification process: • Make sure all your documents are clear and legible • Double-check that the name on all documents matches EXACTLY • If you've changed your name recently, you might need to provide additional proof • Sometimes they ask for a selfie holding your ID - make sure it's well-lit • If you're using [ID.me](http://ID.me), try to do a video call if possible - it's faster • Keep an eye on your email and spam folder for any communications • If you get disqualified, appeal immediately! You usually have 30 days • During the call, ask for a direct number or extension for follow-ups Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? 🤔 submit docs, get disqualified, call for hours, repeat...

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblyperson? They can sometimes cut through the red tape and get things moving.

OP, whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! I was in the same boat last year. Took me 3 months to get it sorted, but I finally did. Stay persistent!
