EDD Disability: DE2593 form missing, payments stopped. Help!

Ugh, classic EDD nonsense. I swear they make it as difficult as possible on purpose. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that's the only way to get things moving.

I had a similar issue last year. What worked for me was sending a message through the online portal. Make sure to include all the details - dates, form numbers, everything. It took about a week, but they finally sent me the form.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes those forms end up there. Also, double-check that they have your correct mailing address on file.

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when your doctor submitted the DE2525 and all your attempts to contact EDD. 2. Try faxing a request for the DE2593 form. Sometimes old school methods work better. 3. Reach out to your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can cut through the red tape. 4. If all else fails, file a complaint with the state ombudsman. It's their job to investigate these issues. 5. Keep certifying for benefits even without the form if possible. You don't want to miss out on backpay. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but you'll get through this.

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? the whole systems a joke tbh

Have you considered going to your local EDD office in person? Sometimes face-to-face interaction can resolve these issues faster.
