SDI Account Error: Can't Submit New FMLA Claim Due to Existing Driver's License Link - Help!

I found a way to solve submitting new FMLA bonding claim, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66_ZfT1UniE

Ugh, I had the same problem last year when I tried to file for pregnancy disability! It's so frustrating that the system doesn't let you submit new claims easily. Have you tried calling the EDD directly? They might be able to help you link the new claim to your existing account.

I found a way 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your existing SDI account 2. Look for an option to 'File a New Claim' or 'Add a Claim' 3. If you can't find it, try updating your personal information first 4. If that doesn't work, you might need to call and ask them to manually add the new claim to your account 5. Be persistent! Sometimes you have to try a few different representatives before you get someone who knows how to help If all else fails, you can try submitting a paper application. It takes longer, but it might bypass the online system issues. Good luck!

have u tried using a different browser? sometimes the edd website acts up on certain browsers. also clear ur cookies and cache before trying again

This happened to me too! Turns out my old claim was still technically active even though I wasn't receiving benefits anymore. Had to call and have them close it out before I could file a new one. It's a pain but hang in there!

The EDD system is such a joke 🤡 They need to upgrade their tech from the stone age. Good luck OP, you're gonna need it lol

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They often have liaisons who can help navigate EDD issues. It's like having a secret backdoor to the system!
