EDD website can't verify my identity - stuck in limbo, need help!

I found a way to solve EDD identity verification issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxy1wOnKn8o

Ugh, I've been dealing with the same thing for weeks! It's so frustrating. Have you tried uploading clearer copies of your documents? Sometimes that helps.

I found a way to actually 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

The EDD system is such a joke. They need to hire more people or upgrade their tech or something. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Use a desktop computer, not mobile 3. Make sure all your docs are in PDF format 4. Double-check that your name matches EXACTLY on all documents 5. If you have a middle name, include it on everything 6. Try uploading during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) If none of that works, you might need to call and speak to a rep directly. Good luck!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

I swear, dealing with EDD is like playing a game where the rules keep changing and nobody tells you 🤡

Has anyone else noticed that the verification process seems to be extra strict lately? I wonder if they're cracking down because of all the fraud cases from last year.

Anybody know if contacting your local assembly member helps? I've seen some people mention it worked for them.
