I keep getting 'kicked out' of the system.
The problem you are describing could be several different issues.

Our system only supports Internet Explorer. If you are using Firefox or Safari, you will need to access our website through Internet Explorer.

You should also check your security settings and make sure that it is set as 'medium' and also clear your cache and temporary internet files.

If you are using the 'back' button on the page instead of the 'next' or 'previous' buttons in the application, the system will also kick you out of the system.

If you are still having problems with creating your account, please contact either 1-855-SPD-INHR (option 2) or visit your local WorkOne office. Someone will be happy to assist you.
