EDD online system saying benefits denied - Can't reopen claim. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble re-opening my unemployment claim online. The system keeps saying my benefits are being denied. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any advice on how to get through to someone who can help?

idk if this helps, but I had success emailing them. took a few days to get a response, but at least I didn't have to deal with the phone system. might be worth a shot?

Check if there's a specific error code or message when it says "benefits denied" - sometimes it's just a generic message that doesn't mean your claim is actually denied. Also, try accessing the site at different times of day. I noticed their system is less buggy early in the morning (like 6-7 AM) or late at night. The servers seem overloaded during peak hours. If you can screenshot the exact error message, that might help when you do get through to someone.

Stuck with unresolved claim issue, no callback from agency. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my claim and I'm not sure what to do. I've been waiting for a call back but haven't heard anything yet. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get through to someone or what I should do next? I'm starting to get worried about my claim status.

Hey OP, what exactly is the issue with your claim? Sometimes the solution depends on the specific problem you're having.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. That's part of why I'm so frustrated - I can't even get clear info on what's wrong or how to fix it.

Oof, that's rough. Definitely try to get someone on the phone then. You need more details before you can even start addressing the problem.

I'm going through something similar right now - been waiting weeks for any kind of update! One thing that helped me was documenting everything in a spreadsheet (dates I called, reference numbers, who I spoke with if anyone). Also, if you haven't already, try calling right when they open at 8 AM - seems like that's when you have the best shot at getting through. The whole system is so broken, but don't give up! We're all in this together and rooting for you to get it resolved soon. 💪
