EDD website can't verify my identity - no changes or errors, what gives?

I found a way to solve EDD identity verification issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXIDBCAGlBI

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is such a mess. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that can help with weird website issues.

I had a similar problem last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting a bunch of people. It eventually resolved itself after about a week. Maybe try calling them directly?

Hey, 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Have you checked if there's any maintenance scheduled for the EDD website? Sometimes they do updates that can cause temporary issues with verification.

This might sound weird, but are you using any VPN or proxy? I had issues verifying my identity when I was using a VPN. Turned it off and it worked fine after that.

Alright, let me break this down for you. I've been dealing with EDD for years and here's what I've learned about identity verification issues: 1. Double-check all your info: Make sure every single piece of information matches exactly what's on your official documents. Even a slight discrepancy can cause problems. 2. Browser issues: As others have mentioned, try different browsers or clear your cache/cookies. 3. Timing matters: Sometimes the system gets overloaded. Try early morning or late night when fewer people are likely to be using the site. 4. Document upload: If you're uploading documents, make sure they're clear, not too large, and in the right format (usually PDF or JPEG). 5. Wait it out: Sometimes it's just a temporary glitch that resolves itself in a few days. 6. Contact EDD: If all else fails, you'll need to contact them directly. Use the contact form on their website or try calling (be prepared for long wait times). 7. Last resort: If nothing works, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can help with EDD issues. Hope this helps! Let us know if you make any progress.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where nothing works and we're all just clowns trying to get our benefits

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods? Might be more effective than actually using their website 🐐🔪

I went through this exact same issue a few months ago! What finally worked for me was using a completely different device - I was trying on my laptop and it kept failing, but when I switched to my phone it went through immediately. Also make sure you're not using any browser extensions that might interfere with the verification process (ad blockers, privacy extensions, etc.). The EDD system is super finicky about this stuff. If that doesn't work, try accessing the site through an incognito/private browsing window. Good luck! 🤞

I had this exact same problem a few weeks ago and it was driving me crazy! What ended up working for me was logging out completely, clearing all my browser data (not just cache and cookies but everything), then waiting about 30 minutes before trying again. I think their system sometimes gets "stuck" on your session or something. Also, double-check that your address on file with EDD matches exactly what's on your ID - even small differences like "St" vs "Street" or missing apartment numbers can cause verification failures. The whole system is super picky about exact matches. Hope this helps and you get it sorted out soon!

I had a similar identity verification nightmare with EDD last year! After weeks of frustration, I discovered the issue was that my middle initial was missing from one of my uploaded documents compared to what was in their system. Even though it seemed like a tiny detail, their automated verification system flagged it as a mismatch. I had to re-upload a corrected document and wait 3-5 business days for it to process. Also, make sure you're uploading documents during business hours - I noticed better success rates when I submitted stuff between 9 AM - 3 PM on weekdays. Their system seems to process things more reliably during those times. Hang in there, it's incredibly frustrating but you'll get through it! 💪
