EDD Account Lockout Nightmare: Tips to Stay Logged In and Certify for UI Benefits?

I've been trying to call for days but can never get through. It's so frustrating!

Calling is useless. I spent 3 hours on hold only to get hung up on. The system is broken af 🤬

I finally got through after 2 hours one day. Keep trying, the system is overwhelmed but sometimes you get lucky.

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

Wow, really? Can you give more details about how it worked for you?

@profile 7 I get the skepticism, but it's 100% legit. I was desperate and took the chance. @profile 8 Sure! You just go to the site, pick the EDD line you need, pay, and they start calling. When an agent picks up, your phone rings. Saved me hours of frustration.

I looked into Claimyr and it seems like they have good reviews. Some people say it's worth the money considering how much time you save not being on hold.

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try these tips. You're a lifesaver! 🙏

This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit tbh. Great info!

number 3 is key! autofill has screwed me over so many times lol

Lol yeah right. They've been saying that for years. I'll believe it when I see it 🙄

Fair point. Guess we shouldn't hold our breath 😅

System updates can be a double-edged sword too. They often fix some problems but introduce new ones.

This is actually genius. Gonna try it tonight!

The fact that we have to do this is ridiculous. EDD needs to get it together!

Late night logins are a life hack for many overwhelmed sites. It's sad but practical in these situations.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's good to hear firsthand accounts. I might give it a try since I'm getting nowhere with EDD on my own.

Lol, classic IT advice! But seriously, EDD's issues go way beyond technical glitches.

For real tho. It's almost like they don't want us to get our benefits 🤔

Conspiracy theory: maybe it's intentionally bad to discourage people from claiming benefits 👀

Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. EDD is just a hot mess

Government websites often have to deal with outdated systems and limited budgets, unfortunately.

Oh man, I hadn't even thought of that. How would I know if it's flagged?

If your account is flagged, they usually send a notification via email or mail. Check your inbox or mailbox just in case.

Thanks for the positivity! We need more of this in the world 🌈

Appreciate the kind words. It's nice to know we're not alone in this struggle

Yes! Let's all support each other through this. It's not easy but we're stronger together!

Clearing the cache is a good one. Also, make sure you're not using any VPNs or proxy settings as they can sometimes cause login issues too.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try Chrome next time. Fingers crossed 🤞

Chrome didnt work for me. Firefox seems to be the only one that lets me in consistently. EDD needs to get there act together smh

I found that using a mobile browser sometimes bypasses the issue. If you haven't tried that yet, it might be worth a shot!
