The data you submitted resulted in validation errors.

- Answer “Do you have an additional employment activity to enter?” question yes or no.
- Account for your employment activities, without breaks, for the previous 10 years. Do not list employments before your 18th birthday unless to provide a minimum of 2 years of employment history.

I went through 5 times i have no break in my employment then i click no i have no more employment to submit and the error keeps popping back up I dont understand.

The only thing I can suggest is to make sure that your dates are entered correctly. Just double check them. If there is even a little bit of gap between dates it may throw it off.

It’s the dates they have to match up so if left a job 9/10/19 your next entry has to start 9/11/19

I also am having this issue and it is EXTREMELY infuriating, what’s worse is it’s doing the same thing for my living location as well and keeps giving me errors.

I certainly hope the new equips aren’t asking for exact days now? Month/Year is hard enough for people to remember. Have you answered the physical work location question? "Is you physical work location different than your employers location? " It’s frequently overlooked.

You probably have gaps, which is not allowed. overlap your months, example is 9/17 left, 9/17 started.  
Also, you can not leave blanks in the questionnaire for verifiers, their address, zipcodes, etc.

The more time you take to ensure your questionnaire input is correct and accurate, the more you help your timeline.

You have to list unemployment or employment **from the day you turned 18 and onward.** Ex: Lets say I turned 18 years of age in the month of January in 2014 (01/2014) and was unemployed but was employed for the first time 02/2015. On my E-Qip I would HAVE to list that I was unemployed from 01/2014 to 02/2015.

If you mean eQip (or its current edition), you lose access to the site after a short period. You would not be able to make changes once you submitted your information.  
You need to check with your future employer instead.

You normally cannot change your eQip once the eQip is released to the government. You have the option to print/save your submission when you submit your eQip. You can make a FOIA request for a copy of your eQip submission.

Do not create overlap unless you worked 2 jobs at once because we will make you explain every single overlap and it will make your interview take more time than needed. It SHOULD be  
Current 08/2022 to present  
2nd job 04/2022 to 08/2022  
3rd job 07/2021 to 04/2022  
Unemployment 03/2015 to 07/2021.  
This eliminates any overlap and accounts for all time periods. The system will allow overlaps but each must be explained in the interview. The more mistakes in the paperwork and the more items that need explanation, the longer the interview will take.
