EDD denied my disability claim over a missing W2. Just filed appeal. Any advice?

I found a way to solve disability claim denial issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz03J68a3Z4

Ugh, that sucks! I'm in the same boat. EDD is such a mess rn. I've been waiting since August and still nothing. Keep pushing tho, don't give up! 💪

Pro tip: Always triple check EVERYTHING before sending it in. They'll use any excuse to deny you. I learned that the hard way too.

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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather ALL your documents, including every W2 from the last 18 months. 2. Write a detailed letter explaining your situation. 3. Include medical documentation if possible. 4. Send everything via certified mail so you have proof they received it. 5. Follow up weekly by phone or email. 6. If you don't hear back in 30 days, contact your local state representative. Stay persistent! The system is designed to wear you down, but don't let it. You've got this! 💯

lmao EDD be like "you forgot to dot an i, DENIED" 🤡

Have you considered getting a lawyer? Sometimes just having legal representation can speed things up.

This happened to my cousin last year. He ended up contacting his state senator's office and they helped push things through. Maybe try that?

OP, what kind of disability are you claiming? Some are easier to get approved than others.

idk if this helps but I found this guide on the EDD website about appeals: [link]. It breaks down the process step by step.
