EDD account locked - Forgot password AND security question. Help!

Ugh, been there done that. The EDD system is such a nightmare sometimes. Have you tried going to an actual EDD office? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things done with these bureaucrats.

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried using a different browser or clearing your cache? Sometimes EDD's website acts up with certain browsers. Also, check if you have any browser extensions that might be interfering.

This is why I always write down my security questions and passwords in a notebook. Old school, but it works 🤷‍♂️

Here's what worked for me when I was in the same boat: 1. Try calling right when they open. I mean, set an alarm and start dialing at 7:59 AM. 2. If that doesn't work, email them through the contact form on the website. Be super detailed about your issue. 3. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. 4. As a last resort, check if there are any EDD workshops or events in your area. Sometimes they have staff there who can help with account issues. Hope this helps! Don't give up, it's frustrating but you'll get through eventually.
