EDD disability extension date error - doctor put wrong year, how long for correction?

I found a way to solve disability paperwork date correction issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjILQ56MSW4

Ugh, I feel your pain! I had a similar issue last year. It took them about 3 weeks to process the correction for me. Make sure you keep calling and checking on the status. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

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 tried faxing the corrected paperwork directly to their office? Sometimes that can speed things up a bit. Just make sure to keep the confirmation page as proof!

This happened to me too! It's like they make the system confusing on purpose 🤬 I ended up having to go to my local EDD office in person to get it sorted out. It was a pain, but at least it got fixed faster than waiting on the phone.

Pro tip: Always, ALWAYS keep copies of everything you submit. I learned that the hard way. Also, send everything certified mail if you can. It's a pain, but it saves so much hassle in the long run.

I work in HR and deal with this stuff all the time. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the EDD and explain the situation. Get a reference number for your call. 2. Have your doctor fax AND mail the corrected form. Make sure they write 'CORRECTION' in big letters at the top. 3. Follow up with EDD every week until it's resolved. 4. If it's not fixed within 30 days, contact your local state representative's office. They can often help speed things up. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of bureaucracy 🤡 where nothing makes sense and everything takes forever

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team can be surprisingly helpful. Worth a shot!

I went through this exact same situation about 6 months ago! My doctor put 2023 instead of 2024 on my extension paperwork. It was such a headache. Here's what worked for me: I had my doctor's office submit the correction with a cover letter explaining the error, and I also called EDD myself to flag it in their system. The whole process took about 2.5 weeks, but my payments weren't interrupted thankfully. Make sure you get confirmation numbers for everything you submit - it really helps when you have to follow up!

I had a similar experience last month! My doctor wrote the wrong start date for my extension and it caused a huge delay. What really helped was getting my doctor's office to call EDD directly while I was on a three-way call. They were able to explain the error immediately and flag it as urgent in the system. It still took about 10 days to fully process, but having that direct communication seemed to speed things up. Also, make sure your doctor includes their medical license number on the correction - I noticed they processed it faster when all the credentials were clearly listed. Hang in there, it's frustrating but it will get sorted out!

I'm dealing with a similar nightmare right now! My doctor put the wrong end date on my extension form - off by a whole month. I called EDD yesterday and they said it could take 2-4 weeks to process the correction, which is absolutely ridiculous. In the meantime, I'm stressed about whether my benefits will be affected. Has anyone had luck escalating these issues to a supervisor? I feel like the front-line reps don't really understand the urgency of these situations when people are depending on these payments to survive.

I'm going through this exact same issue right now! My doctor accidentally wrote 2023 instead of 2024 on my disability extension paperwork and I've been waiting almost 2 weeks for them to process the correction. It's so stressful not knowing if my benefits will be affected. I've called twice already but just keep getting told to "wait for it to be reviewed." Reading these responses is really helpful - I think I'm going to try the three-way call approach with my doctor's office that someone mentioned. Has anyone had success getting a timeline estimate from EDD when they call, or do they always just say "we'll review it"?
