What is the best way to get help signing into an old EDD online account?I tried to reset my password, but it wants my last unemployment amount received.
September 20, 2024
That was 4 years ago and BOA can’t give me any info because EDD don’t deal with them anymore. I tried UI online and they want my 3 digit number from the back of my card. I no longer have my card, since the BOA accounts were all closed May 15, 2024.
I try to call but their call volumes are always full.
I need to apply for temporary disability.
A) Unfortunately, I cannot directly help you sign into your old EDD online account due to privacy and security concerns. However, I can guide you through the steps and provide resources to assist you in the process:
- Gather Information: Gather as much information as you can about your old EDD account, including:
- Your full name
- Social Security number
- Date of birth
- Last known mailing address
- Any previous claim numbers or benefit amounts you remember
- Contact EDD Directly: EDD is the primary source for assistance with accessing your account. Here are the ways you can contact them:
- Phone: Call the EDD toll-free number at 1-888-465-6687. Be prepared to wait in line, as call volumes can be high.
- Online Chat: Visit the EDD website and look for the online chat option. You may be able to speak with a representative through chat.
- In-Person: If possible, visit an EDD field office in your area. You can find their locations on the EDD website.
- Provide Necessary Information: When you contact EDD, be prepared to provide the information you gathered in step 1. They may ask you additional questions to verify your identity.
- Follow EDD’s Instructions: EDD will guide you through the process of resetting your password or regaining access to your account. Follow their instructions carefully and provide any requested information.
- Alternative Options: If you are unable to access your old EDD account, you may need to create a new account. You can find information on how to do this on the EDD website.
Additional Tips:
- Be patient and persistent. It may take time to resolve the issue.
- Keep detailed records of all your interactions with EDD, including dates, times, and the names of any representatives you speak with.
- If you are unable to resolve the issue through EDD, you may want to seek assistance from a legal or financial professional.
I hope this information helps!
