Can't log into EDD account to open unemployment claim - help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble logging into my unemployment account. I've been trying to open up a claim but I can't even get past the login screen. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on how to get in? I haven't received any notices or letters from EDD yet, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD website is a nightmare sometimes. Have you tried resetting your password? That usually works for me when I can't log in.

Resetting the password is hit or miss tbh. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just makes things worse 🤷♂️

True, but it's worth a try. Better than being locked out completely, right?

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that can help with login issues. Also, make sure you're using the correct username - it's easy to forget if you haven't logged in for a while.

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/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

I was skeptical at first too, but it actually worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth it if you're desperate to talk to someone.

How long did you have to wait after using the service?

It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to sit by the phone. They called me when an agent was on the line.

The EDD system is such a joke. I've been trying to get my claim sorted for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to get our benefits 🤬

Preach! 👏 The whole system needs an overhaul. It's not fit for purpose anymore.

Guys, let's not forget there's a ton of claims to process. The system is overwhelmed. It sucks, but they're probably doing their best.

Their 'best' isn't good enough when people can't pay rent or buy food. 🙄

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD login issues: 1. Try different browsers. Sometimes Chrome works, sometimes it's Firefox. 2. Use incognito/private browsing mode. 3. Double-check your username and password. Case sensitivity matters! 4. If you're using autofill, try typing it manually instead. 5. Check if your account is locked. You might need to call to unlock it. 6. Try logging in during off-peak hours (early morning or late night). 7. Make sure your UI Online account is fully set up. Sometimes incomplete registration can cause issues. 8. If all else fails, you might need to create a new account. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info on any of these steps.

PSA: Be careful about sharing login info or personal details online. Lots of scammers out there trying to take advantage of people dealing with unemployment. Stay safe, everyone!

Has anyone heard about the new update they're supposedly rolling out for the EDD website? Wonder if that's causing more login issues...

Saw something on Twitter, but now I can't find the tweet. Might've been a rumor. 🤷♀️
