EDD Paperwork After 10 Weeks: Do I Fill It Out or My Doctor? How to Get Hard Copy?

I found a way to solve EDD paperwork and claim issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjiFuP8hD7o

It sounds like you're talking about the Continued Claim Certification form. That's definitely one you fill out yourself, not your doctor. As for getting a hard copy, you'll need to call EDD directly and request they mail it to you. Make sure you have all your claim details ready when you talk to them!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD! I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: When you get the form, fill it out and mail it back ASAP! Don't sit on it or you might delay your benefits. I learned that the hard way 😩

Does anyone know if theres a way to get an online EDD account if you dont already have one? Seems like itd be easier than dealing with paper forms and snail mail

I swear, dealing with EDD is like playing a game where they don't tell you the rules and change them every 5 minutes. Good luck, OP! You're gonna need it 🍀

Here's a comprehensive guide for dealing with EDD paperwork: 1. Always keep copies of everything you send them. 2. Use certified mail for important documents. 3. Set reminders for yourself to follow up if you don't hear back within 10 business days. 4. Keep a log of all phone calls, including date, time, and name of representative. 5. If possible, use their online system - it's generally faster. 6. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification if something's unclear. 7. Check their website for updates regularly - policies can change without notice. 8. If you're really stuck, consider contacting your local state representative for help. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? the system is broken af 😤

Just went through this same situation last month! The form you're talking about is likely the DE 4581 (Physician/Practitioner's Certificate) if you're on disability, or the continued claim cert if it's regular unemployment. For disability forms, your doctor needs to fill out the medical portion, but you handle the personal info sections. To get hard copies, call the main EDD number (1-800-480-3287) early in the morning - like 8:01 AM sharp. Have your SSN and claim number ready. They can mail forms to you, usually takes about a week. Don't wait too long though - missing deadlines can mess up your payments!
