EDD SDI payment delayed after submitting DE 2593 form early - system still shows form needed
I'm having trouble with my unemployment benefits and I need some advice. I submitted my DE 2593 form early, but my payment hasn't been authorized yet. Usually, it's authorized on Thursday and loaded onto my card by Friday, but nothing's happened this time. I checked my account and it still says I need to fill out the form, even though I already did. I'm worried I might have made a mistake on the form that's causing the delay. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do?

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out I had accidentally put the wrong date for my surgery. Double-check your dates, especially if you had to fill out any medical info. One wrong number can throw everything off!

•omg you might be onto something. I just realized I put 4/3/25 for my surgery date instead of 4/3/24. Do you think that could be why?

•Yep, that's definitely the problem! Call them ASAP and explain the typo. They should be able to fix it pretty quickly.

•Classic EDD move 🙄 Their system should be smart enough to catch obvious typos like that. But noooo, that would be too easy 🤡

If you're still struggling to get in contact with EDD or rectify the issue, consider using services like Claimyr. This tool, while costing $20, can save significant time by navigating the phone system for you. It connects you directly to a live representative, which can be incredibly valuable if you're having difficulty resolving your issue. However, it's important to weigh the costs and benefits before using such a service. Claimyr does offer a money-back guarantee if you don't get through, so that could alleviate some concerns about the cost. Beyond Claimyr, make sure to review all information on your forms for accuracy, stay persistent when contacting EDD, and keep detailed records of all communications. Engaging local representatives as mentioned in the comments can also be a useful strategy. Remember, while the process is frustrating, staying organized and using all available resources will increase your chances of a timely resolution.

Have you tried checking your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in your account. I missed a payment once cuz they had my old number 🤦♂️

Pro tip: start documenting EVERYTHING. Every call, every email, every piece of mail. You never know when you'll need to prove something later on. I learned this the hard way 😓

Have u tried reachin out to ur local state rep? Sometimes they can light a fire under EDD's a** and get things movin. Worth a shot if nothin else works

•That could be a useful last-resort option. State reps can sometimes exert more influence to help constituents.

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

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should cut EDD some slack. They're dealing with millions of claims and probably understaffed. Mistakes happen 🤷♀️

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD system is a nightmare to navigate. Have you double-checked all the info on your form? Sometimes even a tiny mistake can cause major delays.

•Seriously, even a missing dot or wrong digit can throw everything off. Double-check everything from your name spelling to your Social Security Number.

Here's what you need to do to fix this ASAP: 1. Call EDD first thing in the morning. Like, the second they open. 2. Explain the date typo on your DE 2593 form. 3. Ask them to update it in their system immediately. 4. Request an expedited review of your case due to the delay. 5. Get the name and ID number of the rep you speak with. 6. Ask for an estimated time for when your payment will be processed. 7. Follow up with an email summarizing your call (paper trail is key). Don't let them brush you off. Be polite but firm. Remember, it's their mistake for not catching an obvious typo. Good luck!

Hey Jessica! I went through something super similar a few months ago. The date typo is definitely what's causing your delay - the system is probably flagging it as a future date and putting your claim on hold. When I called EDD about my mistake, they were actually pretty understanding once I explained it was just a typo. The key is getting through to someone who can manually update your file. It took about 3-4 business days after they fixed it for my payment to process normally again. Also, make sure to screenshot or print your confirmation when you resubmit anything - I've learned to document everything with EDD! You've got this! 💪

•This is really reassuring to hear! I'm definitely going to call them first thing tomorrow morning and explain the typo situation. It's good to know that 3-4 business days is a realistic timeframe for getting things back on track. I've been so stressed about this, but your experience gives me hope that it's fixable. Thanks for the tip about documenting everything too - I'll make sure to screenshot any confirmations going forward!

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now! My DE 2593 form got stuck in their system for almost two weeks because I accidentally entered my doctor's phone number wrong by one digit. It's incredibly frustrating how sensitive their system is to these minor errors. What I've learned is that you really need to call them as early as possible - I've had the best luck getting through around 8:05 AM right when they open. Also, when you do get through, ask them to put a note in your file about the correction so if you have to call back, the next rep can see what happened. The whole process is such a headache, but don't give up! Once they fix the date issue, your payments should resume normally.

•Wow, it's crazy how one wrong digit can mess everything up! I'm definitely going to try calling right at 8:05 AM like you suggested. That's a great tip about asking them to put a note in the file too - I never would have thought of that. It's both frustrating and reassuring to know I'm not the only one dealing with these kinds of issues. Thanks for sharing your experience and the encouragement! 🙏

I've been in a similar situation and it's so stressful! The date typo is almost certainly what's causing your delay - I made the same mistake with a wrong year on my form and it held everything up for weeks. Here's what worked for me: call EDD at exactly 8:00 AM when they open (set multiple alarms!), have your case number ready, and explain that you need to correct a date typo on your DE 2593 form. When you get through, be super specific about what needs to be changed and ask them to expedite the correction since it's preventing your payment. Also, ask for a reference number for your call and the agent's name - this saved me when I had to call back later. The good news is once they fix it, your payment should process pretty quickly. Hang in there! 🤞

•This is such helpful advice! I'm dealing with my first EDD issue and feeling pretty overwhelmed by the whole process. Setting multiple alarms for 8 AM is a great tip - I had no idea timing was so crucial for getting through. I'm also glad you mentioned getting the reference number and agent's name, that seems like it could save a lot of headaches later. It's reassuring to hear that payments usually process quickly once the error is fixed. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience - it really helps to know what to expect!

I went through this exact same issue a few months back! The date typo is definitely what's causing the hold-up - their system automatically flags anything that looks like a future date. I had put 2025 instead of 2024 for my disability start date and it took forever to figure out what was wrong. Here's what finally worked for me: call EDD right at 8:00 AM sharp (literally have your phone ready to dial at 7:59), explain it's a simple date typo on your DE 2593, and ask them to manually override the system flag. The rep I spoke with said these kinds of errors are super common and they can usually fix them on the spot. Once they corrected mine, my payment came through within 2 business days. Don't stress too much - it's fixable! Just be persistent with the calls and make sure to get a confirmation number when they make the correction. Good luck! 🍀

•This is so helpful to hear from someone who went through the exact same thing! I'm feeling much more hopeful now that I know it's a common issue and can be fixed quickly once they override the system flag. I'll definitely be ready to call at 8:00 AM sharp tomorrow - thanks for the tip about having the phone ready at 7:59! It's such a relief to know that once they fix it, payments typically come through within 2 business days. I was starting to panic thinking I'd be stuck without income for weeks. Really appreciate you sharing your experience and the encouragement! 🙏

I had the exact same issue with a date typo on my DE 2593 form! Put 2025 instead of 2024 and my payments got stuck for almost 3 weeks. What finally worked was calling EDD at exactly 8:00 AM (seriously, have your finger on the call button at 7:59:59) and explaining it was just a simple date error. The rep was able to manually override the system flag that was holding my claim. Make sure to emphasize that it's obviously a typo since you put a future date - they deal with this all the time. Once they fixed it, my payment processed within 48 hours. Also, get the rep's name and a reference number for the correction in case you need to follow up. Don't lose hope - this is totally fixable! The system is just super picky about dates. You got this! 💪

•Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's incredibly reassuring to hear from someone who dealt with the exact same date typo issue. I'm definitely going to follow your advice about calling at exactly 8:00 AM - it sounds like timing really is everything with EDD. I love that you specified having your finger ready at 7:59:59, that attention to detail gives me confidence this will work! Knowing that payments can process within 48 hours once they fix the override is such a relief. I've been so worried about being stuck in limbo for weeks. I'll make sure to get the rep's name and reference number too. Really appreciate the encouragement - it helps so much to know this community has my back! 🙌

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this frustrating situation! Based on what everyone else has shared, it definitely sounds like that date typo (putting 2025 instead of 2024) is what's causing your payment delay. The EDD system seems to automatically flag future dates and put claims on hold. I'd recommend calling them first thing tomorrow morning at exactly 8:00 AM - several people here have had success getting through right when they open. When you call, be ready to explain that it's a simple date typo on your DE 2593 form and ask them to manually override the system flag. Make sure to get the representative's name and a reference number for the correction. From what others have shared, once they fix the date error, payments typically process within 2-4 business days. Hang in there - this sounds like a very fixable issue that unfortunately just requires getting through to the right person at EDD!
