EDD Disability Claim: Need help identifying doctor's form after 30 days without payment

Sounds like you need the Physician/Practitioner's Certificate form. It's pretty common for disability claims. Have you checked the EDD website? They usually have all the forms listed there.

ugh, the EDD is such a nightmare to deal with. I've been waiting on my claim for weeks now. Good luck getting through to anyone on the phone 🤡

I found a way to actually 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to know about the Physician/Practitioner's Certificate form: • It's officially called the DE 2501 form • Your doctor needs to fill it out completely • It certifies your medical condition and inability to work • You can download it from the EDD website or get it from your doctor • Submit it ASAP to avoid payment delays • Make sure to keep a copy for your records Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

have you tried faxing the EDD? Sometimes that works better than calling or mailing stuff in. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Im in the same boat. havent been paid in 6 weeks now. this whole system is broken af

Pro tip: If you can, go to an EDD office in person. Sometimes you can get things sorted out faster that way. Bring all your paperwork with you!

Anyone know if there's been any updates to the disability claim process recently? I heard they were trying to streamline things but idk if that actually happened

Friendly reminder to everyone: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every form. It'll save you so much hassle if you need to appeal or follow up on anything.
