EDD id.me Verification Issues: Can't Submit Claim, Need Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through the same nightmare last month. Have you tried uploading clearer photos of your documents? Sometimes that can help. Also, make sure you're using a good internet connection - I had issues when my wifi was spotty.

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

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check all your info is correct. Even small typos can cause issues. 2. Try using a different browser or device. 3. If you have any alternative forms of ID (passport, military ID), try those. 4. Be patient and persistent. Sometimes the system is just overloaded. 5. If all else fails, try contacting your local assemblyperson's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump thru all these hoops just to get whats owed to us?? the whole systems broken smh

Has anyone tried calling the EDD directly? I've heard some people have had luck getting their verification issues resolved over the phone.

Pro tip: if ur having trouble with the selfie verification part, try taking it in natural lighting. worked for me after like 10 failed attempts indoors

Anyone else feel like they're stuck in a kafka-esque nightmare dealing with EDD? It's like, the more you try to verify your identity, the less real you become 🤣🤡
