EDD Account Locked Out: Can't Verify Identity or Reach Support - Help!

I found a way to solve EDD account lockout issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VO65dq9vOw

PSA: If you're having trouble with EDD, make sure you're not using Internet Explorer. It's 2023, people! 🦖💻

Seriously tho, the EDD system is more outdated than my grandma's flip phone. They need to upgrade that dinosaur ASAP!

Same boat here. The whole system is a joke. I've been trying to get through for months. Good luck, you're gonna need it 🙄

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week!

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 the URL: https://claimyr.com

Plot twist: what if the whole EDD system is just one overworked guy named Steve trying his best with an old Windows 95 computer? 🤔💻

I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than getting into Fort Knox. Anyone else feel like they need a PhD in bureaucracy to navigate this mess? 🤦‍♂️

As frustrating as it is, Claimyr has proven to be a useful tool for many who are struggling to connect with EDD. For a $20 fee, they navigate the phone queue for you, which can save invaluable time and reduce stress. However, it's important to weigh the cost versus benefit for yourself. If you're trying Claimyr, ensure you use it during times when the call volume is lower to maximize effectiveness. Additionally, check out if they have user reviews or any money-back guarantees for peace of mind. Remember, while Claimyr offers a helpful service, trying other free methods first, like calling early or contacting your local representatives, is advisable. Persist through, and don't hesitate to seek help from various channels. Everyone's experience can be different, but the key is to find what works for your specific situation.

Hey OP, any luck yet? Dont leave us hanging, we're invested in your unemployment saga now 👀

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to the EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things done.

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out completely and waiting a few hours before trying again can help

guys i finaly got through!!! took 3 weeks, 47 calls, 2 mental breakdowns, and a sacrfice to the EDD gods, but im in! there is hope!

Has anyone tried hacking into the mainframe? I've seen it work in movies, just need someone who can type really fast while saying "I'm in" 🕵️‍♂️💻

Here's a comprehensive guide to unlocking your EDD account and verifying your identity: 1. First, try the basic steps: - Clear your browser cache and cookies - Use a different browser or device - Double-check that you're entering the correct login info 2. If that doesn't work, go through the ID.me process: - Have your government-issued ID ready - Be prepared for a possible video call - Make sure you have good lighting and a stable internet connection 3. If ID.me fails, try these alternatives: - Use the DocuSign option if available - Mail in physical copies of your identification documents (last resort) 4. Contact EDD directly: - Try calling first thing in the morning or late afternoon - Use the online contact form and be very specific about your issue - Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're desperate 5. Reach out for additional help: - Contact your local assembly member or state senator - Check if there are any EDD assistance events in your area Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up, and document all your attempts in case you need to prove your efforts later. Good luck, and let us know if you make any progress!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was locked out for weeks! Have you tried using the ID.me verification process? It's a pain, but it worked for me eventually.

I went through the exact same nightmare last month! Here's what finally worked for me: I had to completely start fresh with ID.me verification. Delete any existing ID.me account you might have created, then start the process over from scratch. Make sure you have your Social Security card, driver's license, and a recent utility bill ready. The video call took about 45 minutes to connect, but the actual verification was only 5 minutes. Also, try using Chrome browser in incognito mode - seemed to work better than regular browsing. Don't give up, you'll get through this! 💪
