Ugh, classic EDD bureaucracy. They always find a way to make things more complicated than they need to be. I've been dealing with them for months and it's always one thing after another.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! It's so frustrating when you think you've done everything right and then they ask for more paperwork. From reading through these comments, it sounds like the DE 2525XX form is what they're looking for. I'm definitely going to try calling my doctor tomorrow to get that sorted out. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - it really helps to know I'm not alone in this mess!

guys im so tired of dealing w/ edd... feels like im just hitting my head against a wall over n over 😫

Same thing happened to my friend last year - turned out EDD had the wrong SSN on file somehow. When you call, make sure they verify all your personal info first before diving into the wage issue. Also, if you have your employer's EIN number handy, that can help them track down your wage records faster. Don't let them brush you off - you know you worked and have the docs to prove it!

Just to clarify what others have said: Yes, you can upload the paper form through the Contact EDD portal as mentioned above. However, according to EDD policy, they still prefer the original paper form to be mailed if it was initially issued as a paper document. The best practice is to do both - upload a scanned copy for faster processing AND mail the original to the address on the form. This creates redundancy in the system and helps avoid delays. Regarding processing times: uploaded documents typically begin processing within 1-3 business days, while mailed forms can take 7-10 business days just to be entered into the system. Your benefits should continue uninterrupted as long as the form is received before your current certification period ends.

Just wanted to add my experience from last week - I was in the exact same situation with my doctor taking forever on the paperwork! I followed the advice about uploading through the Contact EDD portal and it worked perfectly. Made sure to include all the details Mateo mentioned (claim number, form name, etc.) and got confirmation within 2 days that it was processed. One tip: when you scan the form, use the highest quality setting and make sure every signature and date is crystal clear. EDD will reject blurry uploads and then you're back to square one. Also double-check that your doctor filled out ALL the required fields - mine missed one checkbox and I had to go back to get it corrected. Good luck!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

I'm dealing with something similar right now! My earnings are showing way lower than what I actually made, and it's so frustrating. Have you tried documenting everything and maybe reaching out through multiple channels? I've been keeping screenshots of all my account info and pay stubs just in case. The whole system seems broken honestly, but don't lose hope - sounds like others have gotten through this mess eventually. Keep us updated on what works for you!

lol good luck. EDD is a black hole where all logic and efficiency go to die 💀

I just went through this process last month! Here's what worked for me: log into your SDI Online account first - sometimes the form is already available there for download. If not, I called the 1-800-480-3287 number around 8:05 AM (right after they open) and got through in about 15 minutes. The rep was actually really helpful and had the form mailed to me within 3 business days. Just have your case number ready when you call. Good luck! 🤞
