EDD claims I owe money for disability overpayment, but I never returned to work. Can't find required form 4365DI online. Help!

Ugh, the EDD is such a mess 🤦‍♂️ I had a similar issue last year. Here's what I did: • Call them ASAP. Like, yesterday. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every form you submit. • If you can't get through on the phone (which is likely), try contacting your local assemblyperson's office. They can sometimes help push things through. • Keep submitting appeals and explanations in writing. • Don't panic about the overpayment notice yet. Often, these get resolved once you explain the situation. As for the lawyer question, I'd say hold off for now. Try to resolve it yourself first. If it drags on for months or they start threatening wage garnishment, then yeah, maybe consider legal help. Good luck, OP! The system is broken, but don't give up!

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

have you checked your online account? sometimes the forms are buried in there. also, try calling right when they open - thats when i finally got through

Bruh, the EDD is playing games with all of us 🤡 I swear they make it confusing on purpose

Whatever you do, DON'T ignore this. My cousin did and ended up owing way more because of penalties. Keep pushing until you get answers!

This happened to me too! Turns out it was a glitch in their system. Took forever to fix, but keep at it. And yeah, document EVERYTHING

idk if this helps, but have you tried faxing them? sounds old school but sometimes it gets faster responses than online stuff

Hey Paolo, I went through something similar last year! The form 4365DI you're looking for might be called something slightly different now - try searching for "disability overpayment appeal form" or "work and wage statement" on the EDD site. Also, since you mentioned cashing out sick leave during the waiting period, make sure you have documentation of that - pay stubs, HR records, anything that shows those weren't wages from returning to work. The EDD sometimes confuses different types of payments. One thing that helped me was writing a detailed timeline of everything that happened during your disability period, including dates you were off work, when you cashed out sick leave, and when (if ever) you actually returned. Having it all laid out clearly made it easier to explain to them. Don't give up! Their system is definitely broken but you can get through this 💪
