ID.me suspended my account, can't file SDI claim. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having a major issue with ID.me verification for my disability claim. They suspended my account and haven't responded to any of my tickets. I can't file my claim without getting past this step. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get state verification or file my claim without ID.me? I'm getting desperate here.

Ugh, ID.me is the worst! I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblyperson? They can sometimes intervene and help push things through.

•I hadn't thought of that! How do I find my assemblyperson's contact info?

•Just google '[your county] assemblyperson' and it should pop up. Most have dedicated staff for constituent services. Good luck!

•This is solid advice. My cousin got her EDD issues resolved in like a week after months of nothing, all thanks to contacting her assemblyperson. Def worth a shot!

I feel your pain, OP. The whole system is broken af. I've been trying to get my benefits for 3 months now. It's like they want us to give up 🙄

Have you tried calling the disability office directly? I know its a pain, but sometimes you can get lucky and reach a helpful person who can override the ID.me issue.

•I've tried calling so many times, but I always get stuck on hold forever and then disconnected. It's so frustrating!

•Pro tip: I found a way to actually get through on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

•Wait, seriously? That sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

•I was skeptical too, but I gave it a shot last week and it actually worked! Saved me hours of frustration.

•Idk man, paying to get through to a government agency feels wrong. Shouldn't this be free?

•I get where you're coming from, but for me, the time and stress it saved was worth the $20. Plus, I got my issue resolved in one call instead of weeks of trying.

Here's what worked for me with the ID.me issue: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Use a different browser or device to access ID.me 3. Make sure all your info matches EXACTLY what's on your official documents 4. If you have to do a video call verification, use a well-lit room and have multiple forms of ID ready 5. Be persistent! Sometimes you have to try multiple times If none of that works, definitely reach out to your local rep or try calling the office directly. Don't give up!

Have you checked if there's a local legal aid office that can help? Sometimes they offer free assistance with benefit issues.

•I hadn't considered that. Do you know how I can find one in my area?

•Try searching for 'legal aid [your city/county]' - most areas have at least one office that helps with government benefits. They might have a waiting list, but it's worth a shot!

This might sound weird, but have you tried reaching out to ID.me on Twitter? I've seen some people get help that way when nothing else worked.
