EDD Unemployment Application Error: Can't Submit Online, Need Help

Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my unemployment application. I keep getting an error message when I try to submit it online. Has anyone else run into this problem? I've tried multiple times and it's really frustrating. Any advice on how to fix this or who I should contact? I'm worried about missing out on benefits because of this technical issue.

Have you checked if there's any scheduled maintenance on the EDD website? Sometimes they do updates that can cause issues. Might be worth waiting a day or two and trying again.

Good point! Also, you can follow EDD’s social media pages for any announcements about maintenance schedules.

Here's what you need to do to troubleshoot the application error: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try using a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) 3. Disable any ad-blockers or VPNs you might be using 4. Make sure your internet connection is stable 5. Double-check that all your information is entered correctly 6. If possible, try submitting from a different device (computer vs. phone) If none of these work, you might need to contact EDD directly. Keep trying their phone lines, and consider using the Claimyr service mentioned above if you're really stuck. Remember to document everything - take screenshots of error messages and keep track of when you've tried to submit. This can be helpful if you need to prove that you've been trying to file on time. Good luck, and don't give up!

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! I'll work through these steps and see if I can get it sorted.

This is great advice. I'd add: if you do get through on the phone, ask for a reference number for your call. It helps with follow-ups.

I would also suggest checking if your device's operating system and browser are updated to the latest versions. Sometimes, outdated software can cause compatibility issues.

The EDD system is so broken, its ridiculous. I've been dealing with issues for months now. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes talking to a real person is the only way to get things sorted out.

I've tried calling, but I can never get through. It's always busy or I'm on hold for hours. 😫

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

Source? Or is this just another false hope? 🙄

Just something I saw on Twitter, could be BS. But a man can dream, right? 🤷‍♂️

I read a similar thing on a local news site, but it's best to remain skeptical until we hear something official.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember or state senator? Sometimes they can help push things through with EDD. Worth a shot if you're really stuck.

This is actually a really good suggestion. They can sometimes expedite your case or at least get you some answers.

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD website is a total nightmare. I had the same issue last month and it took me forever to figure out what was wrong. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? That worked for me.

0 coins

Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try. Did you have to re-enter all your info after clearing the cache?

0 coins

Yeah, unfortunately you do. It's a pain, but better than being stuck in limbo. Good luck!

Hey OP, what exactly does the error message say? Might help to know the specific issue you're running into.

0 coins

It says something about a 'system error', but doesn't give any details. I've tried again and still no luck.

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

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

0 coins

$20 just to talk to someone? That's crazy! The system is so messed up.

0 coins

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

0 coins

I tried it too and it worked for me as well. It cuts down on wait time and reduced my stress level. Just a heads up, nobody should have to pay to connect to EDD, but unfortunately, the system's inefficiency makes services like these necessary.

0 coins

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to fix an issue with my claim for weeks now. The whole system needs a major overhaul. 🤦‍♂️

It's so frustrating! How are we supposed to survive when we can't even access our benefits?

Ikr? It's like they're playing games with our lives. Hang in there, we're all in this together. 💪
