EDD UI Online: 'Continue claim' button error - Can't submit unemployment claim

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with the "Continue claim" button on the unemployment website. It's giving me an error message when I try to click it. Has anyone else run into this issue? I've been trying for hours and I'm getting really frustrated. Any advice would be appreciated!

guys i figured it out!!! you have to do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around three times before clicking the button. works every time 60% of the time 🕺💃

Hey OP, what exactly does the error message say? Might help to troubleshoot if we know the specific error.

It just says "An error occurred. Please try again later." Super helpful, right? 🙄

Those vague error messages are the worst. It's like they want to keep the problem a mystery.

I swear, the EDD system is held together with duct tape and prayers. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get our benefits. 🤬

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD website is a total nightmare. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that helps with weird glitches.

Yeah, I tried that already. No luck 😞 It's like the website is designed to make us give up!

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

To be fair, sometimes paying $20 is worth it if it saves you days of constant calling and stress.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. Try accessing the site during off-peak hours (like early morning or late night). 2. Use incognito/private browsing mode to avoid cache issues. 3. Make sure your UI Online account info is up to date. 4. If all else fails, keep calling. It sucks, but sometimes it's the only way. 5. Document EVERYTHING. Take screenshots, write down who you talked to and when. Hope this helps! Hang in there, we're all in the same sinking boat. 🚢

In response to your issue, using Claimyr seems like a promising solution. It is a paid service that effectively connects individuals with unemployment offices and live agents by staying on hold for them. While some users report positive experiences and significant time savings, it's important to weigh the $20 fee against the potential frustration of long hold times and unsuccessful attempts to reach EDD. Alternatives like trying different browsers, calling at off-peak hours, and keeping your online account updated can also be effective. Ultimately, it's about finding the approach that works best for you amidst this challenging system. As frustrating as it can be, persistence is key, and sharing experiences and tips within community forums can also be a great support. Remember to document all your interactions with EDD to aid any potential future dispute resolution or follow-up.

Have you tried calling the EDD hotline? Sometimes they can help you continue your claim over the phone if the website isn't cooperating.

If you have access to a landline, try using it as they sometimes have priority over cell phones in queues.
