EDDCAN registration error: info doesn't match. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble registering my EDDCAN number. I got it in the mail, but when I try to enter it online, the system says the info doesn't match. Has anyone else run into this? Any tips on how to get it to work?

Ugh, I had the same issue! Make sure you're entering it EXACTLY as it appears on the letter. I mean like, to the T. No extra spaces, no missing dashes. It's super picky.

Thanks for the tip! I'll double-check and try again. It's so frustrating when these things don't work right 😤

Yeah, and sometimes the system is just down. I had to try like 5 times before it finally worked. Keep at it!

Have you tried calling them? I know it's a pain, but sometimes talking to a real person is the only way to get these things sorted out.

I've been trying, but the hold times are insane. I'll keep trying though, thanks!

Pro tip: call right when they open. You might have a better chance of getting through.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? 🤔

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. Saved me hours of hold time.

$20 tho? That's kinda steep just to talk to someone...

I get it, but for me, it was worth not having to sit on hold all day. Time is money, ya know? 💁‍♂️

This whole system is so broken. Why can't they just make it work properly? We're already stressed about unemployment, and then we have to deal with this nonsense. 🤦‍♂️

Here's what worked for me: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Use a different browser (I switched from Chrome to Firefox and it worked) 3. Try entering the number without any dashes or spaces 4. Double-check your personal info (address, SSN, etc.) to make sure it matches exactly what EDD has on file 5. If all else fails, try again early in the morning or late at night when the system might be less busy Hope this helps someone! Hang in there, we're all in this together. 💪
