I just went through this same process last week! For the DE 2525XX form, I had to dig around a bit but found it under the "State Disability Insurance" section, not just general forms. Make sure you're looking specifically for disability forms. As for payment status, besides checking your online account, you can also call the SDI customer service line at (800) 480-3287 - the wait times are brutal but they can give you real-time updates. Also, if you submitted your claim recently, it typically takes 14 days from when they receive your completed form to process payment. Hope this helps!

Just wanted to add my two cents here - I recently had success getting my DE 2525XX form processed faster by making sure I included ALL supporting medical documentation upfront. Don't wait for them to ask for additional paperwork! Also, if you're dealing with a complex disability case, consider reaching out to your local assembly member's office. They have constituent services that can sometimes help push things through the bureaucratic maze. It's a free service that not many people know about. I got a response within 48 hours after weeks of getting nowhere on my own. Sometimes you need someone with more clout to advocate for you!

I've been dealing with missing payments for MONTHS. It's a nightmare. I feel your pain, OP. Hang in there.

Carlos, I went through something similar a few weeks ago. Here's what worked for me: First, check if your payment method changed or if your bank flagged anything suspicious. Sometimes the payment gets rejected on the bank's end and EDD doesn't notify you right away. Also, try logging into your account at different times of day - their system updates weird hours and sometimes info appears that wasn't there before. If you still don't see anything after checking those things, definitely call ASAP. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to trace what happened. Keep us posted on what you find out!

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at EDD today! For anyone with the same problem, I ended up using that Claimyr service that someone mentioned above, and it actually worked. Got connected to an EDD rep in about 25 minutes. Turns out there was a discrepancy between the dates on my doctor's certification and what my employer reported as my last day worked. The rep was able to fix it right away and said my payments should start processing within 48 hours. Thank you all for your help and suggestions! This forum was a lifesaver when I was feeling completely stuck.

Congratulations on getting through, Chloe! Your success story gives me hope. I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - been trying to reach EDD about my disability claim for over two weeks. The date discrepancy issue you mentioned is really helpful to know about. I'm going to double-check with both my doctor and employer to make sure their dates align before I try calling again. Thanks for sharing your solution and for updating everyone - it's so frustrating when people post problems but never follow up with what worked!

Update: I FINALLY got through this morning! For anyone else struggling, I followed the advice to call exactly at 8:00am, and after trying 6 times in a row, I actually got into the queue instead of getting hung up on. Waited about 45 minutes but finally spoke to someone. The agent was actually super helpful once I got through. Turns out my doctor sent the certification to the wrong department (???), so the agent transferred me to someone who could help sort it out. They're sending a new certification form to my doctor and putting a note on my claim. I'm still going to ask my doctor to resubmit anyway just to be safe. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions! This system is absolutely broken, but at least I have some direction now.

Wow, what a journey! So glad you finally got through and got some answers. It's absolutely ridiculous that it takes this much effort just to check on a legitimate disability claim. The fact that your doctor sent the certification to the wrong department really shows how confusing this whole system is - even healthcare providers who deal with this regularly get mixed up! For anyone else reading this thread, Dyllan's experience really highlights why it's so important to follow up on everything with EDD. Things get lost, misdirected, or stuck in the system all the time. Always ask for confirmation numbers, case notes, and don't assume anything was processed correctly just because someone submitted it. Hope your claim gets resolved quickly now that you have someone actively working on it!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this stress, Isaiah! Payment delays are unfortunately way too common with EDD. From my experience, here's what I'd recommend: First, log into your EDD portal and check EVERY section - History, Inbox, Notifications, Claim Summary - not just the main dashboard. I missed a pending ID verification request for weeks because it was buried in the History section. Second, verify your banking info is still correct - sometimes banks update account details without us realizing. Third, check your email spam folder for any EDD notices you might have missed. If you still can't find the issue, try the secure messaging system through your portal instead of calling - it's slower but you'll get an actual response. And if it's been over a week, definitely contact your assembly member's office like others mentioned - they have EDD specialists who can often resolve these issues much faster than normal channels. I know waiting when you need money for bills is absolutely terrible, but most of these delays do get sorted out eventually. Keep us updated on what you find! 🤞

I'm dealing with this exact same situation right now - my payment is 6 days late and I'm starting to panic about rent! Reading through all these responses has been incredibly helpful though. I had no idea there were so many sections to check in the EDD portal beyond just the main dashboard. I've been guilty of just refreshing that same page over and over getting more anxious. Going to log in tonight and do a thorough check of the History, Inbox, and Notifications sections like everyone suggested. It's both frustrating and comforting to see how common this problem is - the system really needs to be fixed, but at least we're not alone in dealing with it. Thanks for asking this question Isaiah, and thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and advice! Definitely going to try the assembly member route if I can't figure it out through the normal channels. 🙏
