EDD Fax Issues: Paperwork Not Going Through to Doctor - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with faxing my paperwork to the EDD doctor. It's not going through and I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end or theirs. Has anyone else had issues with this? Any tips on how to make sure the fax gets through?

Ugh, faxing is such a pain! Have you tried calling the EDD to see if they have any issues on their end? Sometimes their fax machines are down or overloaded.

I had the same issue last month. Turns out my fax machine was acting up. Try using an online fax service instead - worked like a charm for me!

I used FaxZero. It's free for a certain number of pages per day. Just make sure to double-check all the info before sending!

Here's what I've learned about faxing to EDD: 1. Always include a cover sheet with your name, SSN, and reason for faxing. 2. Use a high-quality scanner if possible. 3. Try faxing during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening). 4. Keep your fax confirmation as proof. 5. If it doesn't go through, try calling their tech support line. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info.

Have you tried emailing instead? Sometimes they accept scanned documents via email now.

Guys, I found a method to 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
