To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
Another option is to check any old paperwork or mail you received from EDD when you first applied - your account number should be printed on award letters, determination notices, or other official correspondence. If you can't find any paperwork, you can also try logging into UI Online with your SSN and see if it automatically pulls up your account, or use the "Forgot Account Number" feature on the login page.
If you're still having trouble after trying the online portal, another tip is to check if you have the EDD mobile app installed on your phone. Sometimes the app stores your account info even if you can't remember it. Also, if you've moved recently, make sure to update your address with EDD first before trying to access your account, as mismatched addresses can cause login issues. The customer service lines are usually less busy early in the morning (around 8 AM) if you need to call.
Great tip about calling early in the morning! I've been trying to get through for days and hadn't thought about timing it right. The mobile app suggestion is smart too - I didn't even know EDD had an app. Quick question though - if I moved but haven't updated my address yet, should I do that online first or call to update it? I'm worried about creating more complications with my account access.
@Brooklyn Foley I d'recommend updating your address online first if you can access any part of your EDD account, even if it s'just the basic profile section. If you can t'get in at all, then definitely call to update it - having the wrong address on file can definitely block account access. When you call, have your SSN, old address, and new address ready. Also, try the early morning tip - I called right at 8 AM last week and got through in about 15 minutes instead of the usual hours-long wait!
@Brooklyn Foley I d'recommend updating your address online first if you can access any part of your EDD account or through the portal that @Katie Lopez mentioned earlier.

The key is to update the address before trying to recover your account number, since they use address verification as a security measure.

If you re'completely locked out, then calling might be your only option, but definitely try the online route first since it s'faster. Just make sure to have proof of your new address ready like (a utility bill or lease in) case they ask for verification. The address mismatch is probably what s'blocking your account access, so fixing that should resolve the login issues.
