EDD Account Access Issues: Can't Log In to File PFL Claim - Help!

I found a way to solve account access for paid leave, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YZ0jSUfgnw

Ugh, been there done that. The system is such a pain sometimes! Have you tried the 'Forgot Password' option on the login page? That's usually the first step.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out my account was locked due to too many failed login attempts (wasn't even me!). Had to call them directly to sort it out.

Pro tip: Always keep a physical copy of your login info somewhere safe. Learned that the hard way 🤦‍♂️

Hey guys, 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.

Have you tried contacting them through social media? Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive than phone or email.

Here's what I'd recommend based on my experience: 1. Try the 'Forgot Password' option first. If that fails: 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. 3. Check if your account is locked due to too many login attempts. 4. Try accessing from a different device or browser. 5. If all else fails, you'll need to contact them directly. Options include: - Phone (be prepared for long wait times) - Social media (Twitter: @CA_EDD) - Visit a local office if possible Remember to have your personal info ready (SSN, previous address, etc.) as they'll need to verify your identity. For future reference, use a password manager or keep a secure physical record of your login info. And don't forget to update your contact info regularly! Hope this helps, and good luck with your claim!

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to access our own accounts? The system needs a serious overhaul 😤

I went through this exact same nightmare about 6 months ago! Here's what finally worked for me: I had to call the technical support line (not the regular claims line) at 1-833-978-2511. They have a separate team that handles just account access issues. The wait was still long, but they were able to reset my account on the spot. Make sure you have your SSN, date of birth, and the email address you originally used to create the account. They might also ask for your previous employer info to verify your identity. Don't give up - it's frustrating but totally solvable! 💪
