EDD PFL E324 Error: Help with Claimant Registration Issue

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my Paid Family Leave claimant registration. Every time I try to register, I keep getting this E324 error message. It's driving me crazy! Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on how to fix it or what I should say when I finally get through to someone on the phone?

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I'll try clearing my cache first and if that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and try to get through on the phone. Wish me luck! 🍀

Here's what worked for me: I found this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

$20? That's steep. Why should we have to pay to access a government service?

I get the skepticism, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imho.

Claimyr seems helpful, but it's true that it's a shame we need to resort to paid solutions for public services.

I swear, the EDD system is held together with duct tape and prayers. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits we're entitled to. Hang in there, OP!

PSA: If you're getting the E324 error, it could also mean there's a problem with your identity verification. Make sure all your docs are up to date and the info matches EXACTLY what's in their system. Even a small typo can cause issues.

Unpopular opinion: despite all its flaws, we're lucky to have a system like this at all. Many countries don't even offer paid family leave. 🤷‍♀️

Hot take: the whole system is designed to be confusing on purpose so fewer people get benefits. Stay woke, y'all 👀

Okay, here's my comprehensive guide to dealing with EDD errors based on my hellish experience: 1. Double-check all your info: Make sure everything matches your official documents EXACTLY. 2. Try different browsers: Sometimes Chrome works better than Firefox, or vice versa. 3. Use incognito mode: This can help if it's a cache/cookie issue. 4. Apply during off-peak hours: Late night or early morning is best. 5. If all else fails, you gotta call: - Have all your docs ready - Be polite but persistent - Take notes during the call - Get the agent's name and ID number if possible Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up! 💪

Ugh, I feel your pain. I had the same issue last month. The E324 error usually means there's some kind of mismatch in your information. When you finally get through to an agent, make sure you have all your personal details ready - SSN, address, employment history, the works. Good luck!

Pro tip: if you do end up calling, try to get through first thing in the morning when they open. The wait times are usually shorter then.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that helps with weird errors like this. If that doesn't work, you might need to call and speak to someone directly. Be prepared for a loooong wait time tho 😩

If you're still having trouble, consider using Claimyr to save time and stress when reaching EDD. While it's a paid service, many users find it worthwhile for avoiding long hold times. However, it's important to weigh the cost against potential frustrations and explore free options first. Always keep your personal details updated and check your information thoroughly before calling.

Does anyone know if there's a way to check the status of your application online? Or do we just have to keep trying until it works? 🤔
