Bruh, the disability office is a joke. I swear they're playing games with our lives š¤”
C'mon guys, they're probably just understaffed and overworked

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard it might be faster than mail
What year is it? 1995? š š

Laugh all you want, but it worked for me! Sometimes old school is the way to go š¤·āāļø

Quick question - did your doctor submit the extension before your current claim period ended? If there's a gap, it might cause delays.
Oh snap, I'm not sure actually. I'll have to check with them. Thanks for bringing that up!

Anybody else notice that EDD seems to process things faster at the beginning of the month? Or am I just imagining things? š¤
Quick question for the OP - did you submit your W-2 electronically or by mail? I've heard rumors that paper submissions are taking way longer to process these days.
I sent it by mail š¬ Maybe that's why it's taking so long? I didn't even know there was an electronic option!
3d
Oof, yeah that might be part of the holdup. For future reference, check their website for electronic submission options. It can save a ton of time!

Not to be that guy, but have you checked your spam folder? I almost missed an important update because it got filtered out. Just throwing it out there! š¤·āāļø
Hey, don't feel dumb! It happens to the best of us. Glad I could help! What did the email say?

They're requesting one more document, but at least now I know what's going on. You're a lifesaver!

Plot twist: EDD is actually run by clowns š¤” That's why nothing ever makes sense
LMAO š¤£ explains so much

Nah, that's an insult to clowns. At least they're trying to make people laugh š

Guys, I think we're all missing the bigger picture here. The system is DESIGNED to be confusing and difficult. They're hoping people will just give up and stop claiming benefits. Stay strong and keep fighting for what you're owed!
Preach! š We gotta look out for each other
6d
This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's 2023 and we're still dealing with these archaic processes. smh
Preach! š But let's be real, nothing's gonna change anytime soon

Hey OP, I actually work in IT for a similar agency (not gonna say which one lol). Here's what you need to know: 1. Once you submit your initial claim, changing contact info is tricky. It's a security measure to prevent fraud. 2. Your best bet is to try and reach a live agent. They can usually override the system. 3. If you can't get through on the phone, try their online chat feature if they have one. Sometimes it's faster. 4. As a last resort, you might need to file a new claim with the correct info. It sucks, but sometimes it's quicker than trying to change the existing one. 5. Always, ALWAYS save confirmation numbers and screenshots of your submissions. You'd be surprised how often their systems 'lose' info. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! This is super helpful. I'll definitely try the online chat option first. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain all this!

I'm so tired of this. Been trying to sort out my disability claim for 3 months now. Every time I call, I get a different answer. How is anyone supposed to survive like this??
3 months? Amateur hour. I'm going on 6 months now. Welcome to EDD hell, population: all of us š
6d
6 months?? Oh god, what have I gotten myself into... š°

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all showed up at the EDD office in person, they'd have to help us. Who's down for an EDD flash mob? ššŗ
LOL imagine the look on their faces! But for real, I think they closed most of the physical offices...

I'm in! We can do a choreographed dance to their hold music š¤£

have u tried checkin ur online account? sometimes theres info there that the phone peeps dont have
I'm in the same boat, OP. It's like navigating a maze blindfolded. Let us know if you figure it out!
Will do! We're all in this together, right? šŖ
2d
Oof, sounds rough buddy. Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the EDD gods yet? I hear that speeds up the process š
Haha, at this point I'm willing to try anything! š

This is why we need serious reform in our social services. It's ridiculous that people have to jump through so many hoops to get the benefits they're entitled to. Vote, people!
Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: 1. Get the DE 2525XX form (Physician/Practitioner's Supplementary Certificate) 2. Fill out the top portion with your personal info 3. Take it to your doctor - they need to complete the medical portion 4. Make sure your doctor includes: - Your diagnosis - Current symptoms - Treatment plan - Estimated recovery time 5. Double-check that both you and your doctor have signed and dated the form 6. Make a copy for your records 7. Submit the form to EDD at least 5-7 days before your current claim ends Remember, timing is crucial. Don't wait until the last minute! And if you have any issues, don't hesitate to contact EDD directly or use one of those calling services others have mentioned. Good luck!
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed guide! This is incredibly helpful. I really appreciate you taking the time to write all this out.

This should be pinned or something. Super useful info!

Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to navigate the disability system? š¤¦āāļø
For real! I'm thinking of going back to school just to understand all this bureaucratic nonsense š

Quick question for those who've gotten refunds: how long did it take for the money to hit your account after it was processed? Trying to plan my budget here...

Depends on your bank. I got mine next day, but I've heard it can take up to a week for some people.
