EDD SDI claim issue: Doctor's office put wrong return-to-work date, how to fix?
So I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability claim. The doctor's office messed up and put the wrong date for when I can go back to work. It's actually my next appointment date, not when I'm cleared to work again. Now I gotta deal with fixing this mistake and I'm not sure how to go about it. Has anyone else run into something like this before? What's the best way to get this sorted out with the EDD? I'm worried about my benefits getting cut off early because of this mixup.

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every person you talk to, every piece of paper you send. The EDD loves to "lose" things conveniently π

Yep, can't trust them to keep track of anything without constant supervision.

I work in healthcare and see this happen all the time. It's usually just an honest mistake, but it can cause so much trouble for patients. Always double-check your paperwork before leaving the doctor's office!

To tackle your issue with the EDD arising from the discrepancy in your doctor's note, itβs essential to act swiftly and methodically. First, get the amended documentation from your doctor, clearly stating the correct return-to-work date. This serves as the foundation of your appeal to the EDD. Next, reach out to the EDD promptly, ideally via phone, and inform them about the clerical error. Though it might be challenging to connect, persistence is crucial. Some users have found tools like Claimyr helpful, which, for a fee, facilitate quicker connection to EDD representatives. However, while such services can save time, they also add extra costs that one should consider carefully. Additionally, submitting documents via fax has been reported as effective by some, despite being an older communication method. Itβs advisable to keep meticulous records of all interactions with the EDD, including dates, names, and conversation details, as this information could be pivotal should further issues arise. If the situation remains unresolved, consider seeking assistance from your local state representative, as they may offer the necessary leverage to expedite the process. Remember, while the system can be arduous, being organized and proactive generally yields the best results.

Ugh, bureaucracy at its finest π I had a similar issue last year. Here's what you need to do: 1. Get a corrected note from your doctor ASAP 2. Call EDD (good luck with that lol) 3. Explain the situation calmly 4. Ask them how to submit the corrected docs 5. Follow up like crazy until it's fixed Don't let them give you the runaround. Stay on top of it!

Hey, 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

$20 just to talk to someone? That's highway robbery! π€

I tried Claimyr too. It was definitely faster but not everyone might feel comfortable paying for something that should be free.

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? π But seriously, do they actually accept faxes?

You'd be surprised! A lot of government offices still use fax. It's like they're stuck in a time warp or smthn

I used fax once for an EDD issue and it actually went through. It's worth a try if you're desperate.

I feel your pain, buddy. The EDD is a nightmare to deal with. I spent weeks trying to get through to someone on the phone. It's like they're purposely making it difficult π€¬

Even at opening time, it can still be hard to get through. Prepare for a wait.
