EDD SDI claim issues: DE-2517-16 notice, late filing, Form 4365DI required - What to do?

I found a way to solve EDD disability claim form issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnZ4_Bj0yFc

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of every interaction with EDD. Write down dates, times, names of ppl you talk to, and what they say. It'll save ur butt if theres any disputes later.

I'm in the same boat as you, OP. Filed in January, still waiting. This whole process is making me more sick than I was to begin with! Hang in there.

I've been thru this before. The 49-day thing is a pain, but you can usually get an extension if you explain why you filed late. Just be prepared to provide a good reason and maybe some documentation.

Hey OP, make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING. I mean it. Every. Single. Piece. Of. Paper. You never know when they'll claim they didn't receive something.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot!

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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.

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

Ugh, the EDD is such a nightmare to deal with. I swear they make everything complicated on purpose. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call them ASAP and ask about the DE-2517-16 notice. Make sure you understand what the date change adjustment means for your claim. 2. Get Form 4365DI from them. Ask if you can fill it out online or if they need to mail it. 3. Find out exactly how and where to submit the form. Even if there's no deadline, get it done quick! 4. Ask about how filing late might affect your eligibility. See if there's anything you can do to fix it. Good luck, and don't let them push you around!

idk about yall but i just gave up on my claim. too much hassle 🤷‍♀️

Hey OP, dealing with the EDD can be a frustrating and time-consuming process, but it's important to be persistent. The DE-2517-16 notice you received is likely related to a specific requirement or adjustment in your claim, so clarifying this with an EDD agent over the phone is crucial. When you call, have all your relevant documentation at hand and be prepared to provide a clear explanation for any delays. Form 4365DI pertains to determining eligibility, so obtaining and submitting this as soon as possible is essential. While Claimyr offers a service to bypass long hold times, it's an unfortunate reflection of the current system's inefficiencies. It's also wise to consider reaching out to your local state representative for additional support. Stay organized, keep detailed records, and remain patient throughout the process. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I'm nervous about calling them. Does anyone know if they're usually helpful on the phone?

tldr; EDD is a dumpster fire, good luck to anyone dealing with them 🔥🗑️

Hey Carmen, I went through something similar last year. The DE-2517-16 notice usually means there's a timing issue with your claim filing. Since you filed in February but they're saying it wasn't within 49 days, there might be confusion about when your disability actually started vs when you filed. For the Form 4365DI, you can usually get it from their website or request it over the phone. Even though there's no specific due date listed, I'd recommend getting it in ASAP - EDD can be unpredictable about deadlines. When you call, ask specifically about: - What date they're using as your disability start date - Whether you can get good cause for the late filing - How to submit the 4365DI form (online, mail, or fax) Also, try calling right when they open (8am) for shorter wait times. Hang in there, the process is frustrating but you'll get through it!
