EDD SDI login error for pregnancy disability claim - info doesn't match, need help!

Has anyone else had trouble logging into their EDD account to file a disability claim? I'm pregnant and trying to apply for disability benefits, but every time I try to log in, I get an error message saying my information doesn't match what's on file. It's so frustrating because I know all my info is correct! I've double-checked everything multiple times. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice on how to fix this?

Here's what you need to do to resolve this issue: 1. Double-check all your personal information: Make sure your name, address, SSN, and other details are exactly as they appear on your official documents. 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies: Sometimes, old stored data can cause login issues. 3. Try a different browser or device: If the problem persists, it could be a browser-specific issue. 4. Contact EDD directly: If none of the above work, you'll need to speak with an EDD representative. Be prepared with all your documents and explain the exact error message you're receiving. 5. Request a manual account review: Ask the representative to verify and update your information in their system. 6. Consider filing by mail: As a last resort, you can download the disability claim form and submit it via mail. Remember, persistence is key when dealing with government systems. Don't give up!

tldr: EDD's website is a dumpster fire, water is wet, and the sky is blue. 🔥💦🌈

Hey OP, have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They sometimes have direct lines to EDD and can help push things through.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: If you're having EDD issues, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your attempts to log in, calls, emails, etc. It might come in handy if you need to escalate your case.

Hey OP, I totally understand your frustration. **Claimyr** is indeed a helpful service for navigating through the bureaucratic maze of the EDD. It can be a real lifesaver when phone lines are clogged and you desperately need assistance. The service costs money because it automates a process that typically demands hours of patient waiting. However, it is essential to weigh the cost against what you can afford or see the value in saving your time. That said, it's healthy to maintain caution when using third-party services. While many people have had success stories with Claimyr, it's always advisable to check for reviews or testimonials to ensure its legitimacy. Additionally, some people might prefer resolving issues directly to avoid sharing personal information with third-party platforms. Always be sure to read through their privacy policy and terms of service before signing up. Moreover, consider contacting local legal aid or consumer advocacy groups. They can sometimes offer assistance or even intervene on your behalf without any costs. Balancing various options, including both paid and free resources, can help you make the best decision in tackling the issues with EDD. Hang in there, and I hope you find a resolution soon!

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out my address had an extra space in it in their system. Took forever to figure out, but once they fixed it, everything worked fine.

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

Have you tried calling them directly? I know it's a pain, but sometimes talking to a real person is the only way to sort out these tech issues.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold that way.

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