Hey everyone, I'm having trouble verifying my email with EDD for my Paid Family Leave claim. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on how to get it sorted out quickly? I've been trying to reach them but no luck so far.

Ugh, I feel your pain. EDD's email verification system is a nightmare. I had to call them like 50 times before I finally got through. Keep trying, and maybe try early in the morning when they first open?

•50 times?! That's insane. The system is so broken 🤦♂️

•I've heard that Tuesday mornings are the best time to call. Less traffic apparently.

Have you tried using the online portal to verify your email? Sometimes it's faster than calling. Just log in to your account and look for the email verification option in your settings.

I found a way to get someone on the phone quickly. 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, double-check that you entered your email correctly when you applied.

Ive been dealing with this exact issue for weeks now. Its so frustrating! I finally got it resolved by going to my local EDD office in person. They were able to verify my email on the spot. Might be worth a shot if you have one nearby.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Log into your EDD account 2. Go to 'Contact Us' section 3. Select 'Email Verification' as the reason for contact 4. Explain your issue in detail 5. Submit and wait for a response (usually within 5-7 business days) If that doesn't work, try calling the technical support line at 1-855-327-7057. They're sometimes easier to reach than the main line. Hope this helps!
