EDD Family Leave online application error - need help ASAP!

I've been there, it's so frustrating! Have you tried clearing your browser cache? Sometimes that helps with weird website issues. Also, make sure you're using a supported browser - I know their system can be picky.

The online system is a joke. I had to call them directly to get it sorted out. Be prepared to wait on hold forever tho 🙄

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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/DOLxZQb92wM

Here's what you need to have ready when you finally get through to an agent: 1. Your personal info (SSN, address, etc.) 2. Your spouse's medical info and documentation 3. Your employment details 4. Dates you need the leave for Having all this ready will make the process go smoother. Good luck!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

I feel your pain. The system is designed to be as difficult as possible, I swear. Keep trying and don't give up. Your family is worth it! ❤️

Pro tip: if you can't get the online app to work, you can download the paper forms and mail them in. It's old school but it works. Just make sure you send it certified mail so you have proof of when you submitted it.

Ugh, dealing with goverment websites is the WORST. Sending good vibes your way, hope you get it figured out soon! 🙏

Have you tried applying during off-peak hours? Like really early in the morning or late at night? Sometimes the system works better when there's less traffic.

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out I was using an outdated form. Double check you're using the most recent version of everything.
