EDD account locked out - never received password reset email for family leave claim. Help!

Ugh, I had the same issue last month. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling their customer service line? It took me forever to get through, but they were able to resend the reset email.

Pro tip: Check your spam folder! Sometimes those reset emails end up there. Also, make sure the email address on file with EDD is current.

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to your phone. It costs $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried resetting your password through the EDD website? Sometimes theres a separate 'Forgot Password' link that doesn't require an email to be sent.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing them? 😂 I know it's 2023, but sometimes these government agencies are stuck in the stone age. Worth a shot if nothing else works!

Here's what worked for me when I had this issue: 1. Double-check the email address on file with EDD. Make sure it's correct and you have access to it. 2. Check all email folders, including spam/junk. 3. If that doesn't work, try to reset your password through the website. 4. If you still don't receive an email, call EDD customer service. 5. Be prepared with your personal info (SSN, address, etc.) when you call. 6. Ask them to verify your email address and resend the password reset link. 7. If all else fails, ask if there's an alternative way to reset your account or if you can create a new one. Hope this helps! The system can be a pain, but don't give up. You'll get it sorted eventually.

anyone else think its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to access our own accounts? the whole system needs an overhaul smh
