Can't log in to EDD account - forgot employment dates. Help!

Ugh, the EDD system is such a nightmare! I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling their tech support line? Sometimes they can verify your identity another way.

I found a way to actually 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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you tried going to an EDD office in person? Sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things done with these bureaucrats.

This is why I always keep a detailed work history document updated. Saves so much hassle when dealing with unemployment stuff. Maybe start putting one together for the future?

Ok, here's what you need to do: 1. Gather any old tax documents, W-2s, or pay stubs you can find. These might have the dates you need. 2. Check your email for any correspondence from previous employers or EDD. 3. If you have a MySSA account, log in there. It might have your employment history. 4. As a last resort, contact your previous employers directly. They should have records of your employment dates. 5. For the last unemployment check date, check your bank statements if you used direct deposit. Once you have this info, try the password reset again. If it still doesn't work, use one of the methods others suggested to speak with an EDD rep directly. Good luck!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where nothing works and everyone's confused

Have you tried using the 'Ask EDD' feature on their website? Sometimes you can get a response faster that way than calling.

I'm in the same boat, been trying to sort out my claim for weeks. This system is so broken, it's ridiculous.

Hey OP, just a heads up - be careful about sharing too much personal info when you do get through. There's been a lot of EDD fraud lately.
