EDD Forms DE 2517 & 4365DI in email - How to respond?

Ugh, the EDD and their endless forms! 🙄 I've been there, buddy. Here's what you need to do: 1. Write down all your questions about both forms 2. Gather any related documents you have 3. When you call, explain you got these forms by email and can't access them physically 4. Ask how to respond without having the actual forms 5. Get clear instructions on next steps Good luck! The EDD can be a real pain, but stay persistent!

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

bruh why cant the EDD just make this stuff easier? its 2023, we shouldnt have to jump through hoops just to fill out some forms 🤦‍♂️

Have you tried logging into your EDD account online? Sometimes they have digital versions of the forms you can fill out there. Might be worth checking!

Protip: If you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes you can catch them with shorter wait times. Also, Wednesdays tend to be less busy in my experience.

im in the same boat rn... these forms are driving me CRAZY! feels like im learning a new language just tryna understand what they want 😭

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you respond to these forms ASAP. I once missed a deadline and it was a HUGE headache to sort out. Don't be like me, stay on top of it!

Oh wow, this is so timely! I just went through something similar last month. For the DE 2517 form, you can actually download a fillable PDF version from the EDD website if you search for it directly. As for the 4365DI, that one's trickier - I had to call and ask them to walk me through it over the phone. Pro tip: when you call, have your Social Security number and case number ready. They'll ask for it right away. Also, don't hang up if they put you on hold again during the call - I made that mistake and had to start all over! The whole process is frustrating but you got this! 💪

Thanks for sharing your experience @Zainab Ali! That's super helpful. I've been dealing with EDD forms too and it's such a maze. Quick question - when you downloaded the DE 2517 PDF from their website, did you have to create an account or log in? I'm wondering if I can access it without going through all the online portal setup. Also, did they email you a confirmation after you submitted everything? I'm always paranoid about whether they actually received my stuff! 😅
