EDD Application Submission Issues - System Keeps Timing Out

Ugh, I feel your pain! The application system has been a total nightmare lately. What specific error are you getting? I had to try like 5 times before mine finally went through last week.

I found a way to actually 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/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried submitting late at night or early in the morning? Sometimes the system is less overloaded during off-hours. Might be worth a shot!

I've been dealing with this for WEEKS now. It's ridiculous how broken the whole system is. I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from applying. 😡

Here's what worked for me after struggling for days: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Use Chrome or Firefox (avoid Internet Explorer) 3. Disable any ad blockers or VPNs 4. Fill out the form in one sitting without long pauses 5. Double-check all your info before submitting 6. If it fails, wait 30 minutes before trying again Hope this helps someone! It's a pain, but persistence pays off. Good luck!

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get basic help? smh

Pro tip: if you keep getting errors, try taking screenshots. Sometimes you can use those as proof that you attempted to apply if you need to appeal later. Learned that the hard way 😓
