Disqualified after EDD doctor appointment - What now?

Ugh, that sucks man. I've been there before. Did they give you any specific reason for the disqualification? Sometimes its just a misunderstanding or paperwork issue.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic! This happens more often than you'd think. 2. Call EDD immediately and ask for a detailed explanation of your disqualification. 3. Request information on the appeal process. You usually have 30 days to appeal. 4. Gather all your medical records and any other relevant documents. 5. Consider getting a second medical opinion if possible. 6. Write a clear, concise appeal letter explaining why you believe the decision is incorrect. 7. Submit your appeal and all supporting documents before the deadline. 8. While waiting, continue to certify for benefits if you're able to work. Remember, many people successfully appeal these decisions. Stay calm and be persistent!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD. 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

the edd is such a joke lmao 🤡 they probably lost ur paperwork or smthn. wouldn't be surprised if they just flip a coin to decide who gets benefits 🙄

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!

Oof, rough break dude. I swear the EDD system is designed to be as confusing as possible. Hang in there!

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!

pro tip: start documenting EVERYTHING. every call, every letter, every interaction. youll thank me later if you need to appeal 👍
