E314 Error When Submitting Claim Online - Help!

Ugh, I hate when that happens! Have you tried clearing your browser cache? Sometimes that helps with weird errors like this.

I had the same issue last week! It turned out I had some incorrect information in my claim. Double-check all your entries, especially dates and social security number. One wrong digit can mess everything up.

Have you tried using a different browser? Sometimes I have better luck with Firefox than Chrome for these government sites.

E314 error is the worst! 😡 I've been dealing with this for days. Called the helpline but surprise surprise, no one picks up. Anyone know if there's a way to submit the claim by mail or in person?

Hey guys, I found a method that actually works 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Alright, let me break this down for everyone dealing with the E314 error: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try a different browser (Firefox or Edge if you're using Chrome) 3. Double-check ALL your information for accuracy 4. If possible, try submitting during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) 5. Disable any ad-blockers or VPNs you might be using 6. Make sure your internet connection is stable 7. If all else fails, try using a different device (like your phone instead of computer) If none of these work, you might need to contact them directly. The phone lines are a nightmare, but keep trying. Sometimes the website issues are on their end and you just have to wait it out. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to submit a claim? the system is broken af

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about these ongoing issues? Maybe if enough of us complain, they'll finally update the system.

Pro tip: take screenshots of every step and error message. If you end up having to call, it helps to have evidence of what went wrong.

I've been dealing with this same E314 error for the past week! What finally worked for me was using an incognito/private browsing window. Something about the regular browser session was causing issues. Also make sure you're not copying and pasting any info - type everything manually. The system seems really picky about formatting. Good luck!

I had the exact same E314 error last month and it was driving me crazy! What ended up working for me was a combination of things - first I cleared my cache like others mentioned, then I made sure to use a wired internet connection instead of WiFi (the connection seemed more stable that way). But the key thing was I discovered I had accidentally been entering my SSN with dashes, and once I removed them it went through immediately. Also try logging out completely and logging back in before attempting to submit again. The system seems to get stuck sometimes. Hope this helps and you get it sorted soon! 🤞

I've been struggling with the E314 error too and finally got through yesterday! What worked for me was a combination of several suggestions here - I cleared my cache, switched to Firefox, and most importantly made sure I was entering everything without any special characters (no dashes in SSN, no parentheses in phone number, etc.). Also, I noticed the system seemed to work better around 6 AM when fewer people are probably trying to access it. The whole process is incredibly frustrating but don't give up! Keep trying different combinations of these fixes and hopefully one will work for you too.

Just wanted to chime in as someone who's been lurking here for a while and finally decided to create an account because this E314 error has been making my life miserable! I've tried about half the suggestions mentioned here so far - cleared cache, tried different browsers, double-checked all my info - but still no luck. The incognito window tip from @Miguel Silva is interesting, I haven't tried that yet. Also going to test the early morning approach since it sounds like the system might be less overloaded then. It's honestly wild that we all have to become IT troubleshooters just to file for benefits we've earned. But I'm grateful this community exists because at least I know I'm not alone in this struggle! Will report back if any of these new methods work for me. 🤞

I've been battling this E314 error for about 3 days now and I'm at my wit's end! Reading through everyone's suggestions here has been super helpful though. I tried the cache clearing and different browsers but still getting the same error. The formatting tips are really interesting - I definitely had dashes in my SSN so I'm going to try removing those next. Also planning to wake up super early tomorrow to try during off-peak hours like some of you suggested. It's honestly ridiculous that we have to become tech support specialists just to file a basic claim, but I appreciate everyone sharing what worked for them. This community is a lifesaver! 🙏

Just wanted to jump in here since I've been dealing with this exact same E314 error! After reading through all the great suggestions, I finally got mine to work yesterday. What did it for me was a combination of using Firefox in incognito mode AND making sure to disable all my browser extensions (especially my password manager and ad blocker). I also followed the advice about removing all formatting from my SSN and phone number - no dashes, no spaces, no parentheses. The early morning timing tip is spot on too - I submitted mine at around 6:30 AM and it went through instantly. It's frustrating that we have to jump through all these hoops, but don't give up! Keep trying different combinations of these fixes. This community has been incredibly helpful in figuring out workarounds for these technical issues. Good luck everyone! 🍀

I just wanted to add my experience for anyone still struggling with the E314 error! I was getting this error for almost two weeks and was about ready to give up. What finally worked for me was actually a bit different from what others have tried - I used Microsoft Edge (which I normally never use) and made sure to turn off all auto-fill features. I also noticed that when I was copying and pasting my info from a document, it was including some invisible characters that were causing issues. Once I typed everything manually and super carefully, it went through on the first try. Also, definitely try the early morning approach - seems like 5-7 AM is the sweet spot when their servers aren't overwhelmed. Don't lose hope, everyone! This system is terrible but we can beat it with enough persistence and the right combination of workarounds. Sending good vibes to everyone still fighting this battle! 🙏✨

Just wanted to add another solution that worked for me after struggling with E314 for days! I was getting nowhere with the usual browser tricks, but then I realized I was using a VPN which was probably making the system think I was accessing from outside California. As soon as I disconnected my VPN and tried again, it went through immediately. Also want to echo what others said about the early morning timing - I submitted mine at 5:45 AM and had zero issues. It's crazy how many random technical things can interfere with these government sites, but at least we've got this community to help troubleshoot! For anyone still stuck, definitely check if you have any VPN or location-masking software running. Hope this helps someone! 🤞

I've been lurking on this thread and finally decided to join because you all have been SO helpful with troubleshooting this E314 nightmare! I just wanted to share what ended up working for me after trying almost everything mentioned here. The winning combination was: Firefox in private browsing mode, VPN completely off, manually typing everything (no copy-paste), removing all dashes/spaces from SSN and phone number, and submitting at 6 AM sharp. But here's the kicker - I also had to turn off my antivirus real-time protection temporarily because it was apparently blocking some of the form submissions! Once I disabled it for just long enough to submit, everything went through perfectly. Just remember to turn your antivirus back on afterward! It's honestly insane that we need to become cybersecurity experts just to file unemployment claims, but this community has been a lifesaver. Thank you all for sharing your solutions - we really are stronger together! 💪✨
