EDD Continued Benefits Form Missing from Portal After Claim Extension Approval - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my disability benefits. My claim extension was approved, but the continued benefits form isn't showing up in my online portal. It's been over a month since the approval, and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD system is such a mess. Have you tried calling them? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get things sorted out.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.

I had a similar issue last year. Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything: approval date, when you first noticed the missing form, etc. 2. Try accessing your portal from different browsers or devices. 3. If that doesn't work, send a secure message through the portal explaining the situation. 4. As a last resort, mail a written request for the form to your local EDD office. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

This is solid advice. I'd add: take screenshots of your portal showing the missing form. Could come in handy if you need to prove you're not at fault.

Have you checked if theres a system maintenance or update going on? Sometimes that can cause forms to disappear temporarily.

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. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Yeah, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

It took about 2 hours for me, but I didn't have to sit by the phone the whole time. They just called when an agent was ready.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help expedite these issues with EDD.

Just google your city + 'assembly member'. Their office usually has a form or email for constituent services. They deal with EDD issues all the time!
