When you complete identity verification, your next step is to return to the state’s website and continue to file your new claim.

Steps to continue the verification process:

1. Select the Verify with ID.me button and log in to your existing account. You will be redirected to the state’s website. If the redirect is unsuccessful, you may need to return to the EDD site and select File a New Claim.
2. Follow the prompts to continue your claim.
3. When prompted, be sure to select Allow. This action shares your identity information with the state and enables the claim process to continue.

2. Log in to your California EDD account.

3. Provide your ID.me credentials when prompted.

4. Follow the steps for California EDD, then select to Allow them to use your verified identity information.
