This is why we need to overhaul the entire system. It's a joke that people have to jump through so many hoops just to get the benefits they're entitled to. š¤¦āāļø
Preach! š The whole thing is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point.

ikr? its like they want us to give up

Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation when your doc submitted the cert on Dec 3? Might be worth following up with them to make sure it went through on their end.
That's a good point. I didn't get anything... I'll give their office a call tomorrow. Thanks!

Quick question - did you recently start any part-time work or have any change in your medical condition? Sometimes that can trigger a review of your case.
Nope, nothing's changed on my end. That's why I'm so confused about this sudden stop in payments.
2M
Ugh, the EDD strikes again! š I swear they do this on purpose to save money. Hang in there, OP. You're not alone in this mess.
This happened to me last year. Turns out my doctor hadn't sent in the medical certification. Double check with your healthcare provider!
Oh no, I didn't even think of that. I'll call my doctor's office tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!
2M
This happened to me last year! Turns out the doctor made a mistake in their report. Definitely appeal and get a copy of the doctor's notes if you can. It took a few months, but I eventually got it sorted out. Don't give up!
That's encouraging to hear. Did you have to get a lawyer or anything?
2M
Nah, I managed without one. But if your case is complicated, it might be worth consulting with a lawyer who specializes in disability claims.
2M
pro tip: start documenting EVERYTHING. every call, every letter, every interaction. youll thank me later if you need to appeal š
PSA: Always keep some cash stashed away for emergencies like this! Learned that lesson the hard way š
This is the way šÆ I keep an emergency $100 hidden in my sock drawer lol

Have you checked if there's been any suspicious activity on your account? Sometimes banks block cards if they detect potential fraud. Log into your online banking and review recent transactions.
The whole system is rigged against us, I swear. They make it so complicated on purpose. Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same sinking boat. š¢š
preach š its like they want us to give up
2M
Nah, don't buy into that negativity. The system's overwhelmed, but keep pushing. You'll get there!

Quick question - when you say "multiple medical forms," what exactly did you submit? There might be a specific form they're looking for that you missed.
I submitted the DE 2501 Claim for Disability Insurance Benefits and a doctor's note. Should I have included something else?
2M
Ah, gotcha. Make sure you also have the DE 2525XX Physician/Practitioner Certification filled out by your doctor. That's often the missing piece!
2M
am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get our benefits? š¤” system is broken af
Preach! š It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible.
2M
Fr fr. feels like a full time job just dealing with this bs
2M
Quick tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I've had better luck getting through early in the morning.
Thanks for the tip! What time do they usually open?
3M
8am in most states, but double check for yours. Set an alarm and be ready to dial!

Ive been dealing with edd for months now and let me tell you. its a nightmare. good luck getting this fixed quickly
Same here. It's like they're playing whack-a-mole with our claims š¤
3M
Quick question - how long ago did you submit the form? If it's within 14 days, you might have an easier time getting it corrected.
It was just yesterday actually. Does that make a difference?
3M
Oh that's great news! Yeah, the sooner you catch these things, the easier they are to fix. Definitely try to get through to them ASAP!
2M
have u tried turning it off and on again? š jk jk... but seriously, EDD needs to get its act together. We're not asking for much, just the money we're owed to survive!
Unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for a job instead of waiting for a handout? š¤·āāļø
Ok boomer š

Just saying what everyone's thinking. Don't hate the player, hate the game. š

Here's what I know about EDD refunds based on my experience and research: ā¢ Once processed, refunds typically take 7-14 business days to appear in your account ā¢ The method of refund matters - direct deposit is fastest, checks take longer ā¢ If you had multiple issues on your claim, it might take longer as they process each separately ā¢ Always keep your confirmation number from when they say it's processed ā¢ If it's been more than 3 weeks, definitely call back ā¢ Make sure your address and banking info are up to date in the system ā¢ Sometimes, refunds can be applied to outstanding overpayments without notice ā¢ If you're really stuck, contacting your local assembly member can help speed things up Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Glad it's helpful! And no, weekends don't count in the business days. It's just Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
