I understand this may be overwhelming, especially with EDD's convoluted processes. It's crucial to understand that the supplemental certificate is specifically required for ongoing verification of your eligibility for benefits. The DE 2525XX form is typically the one they're looking for in such cases. While EDD's protocols can be frustrating, understanding the requirements for documentation can prevent delays in processing your claims. It's beneficial to have your doctor fill out this specific form as soon as possible to streamline the process. Also, engaging services like Claimyr could be a worthwhile investment if you're struggling to reach EDD by phone. However, ensure you're comfortable with the fee before proceeding. Lastly, keeping detailed records of all interactions with EDD can safeguard against miscommunications or lost paperwork. Always advocate for yourself within these systems and don't hesitate to seek help from external sources like local representatives if needed.

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD. Worth a shot!

I had a similar experience! It's like they don't even look at what you've already submitted. Have you tried calling them to clarify? Good luck getting through tho 🙄

have u tried faxing the docs? sometimes that works better than online submission. old school but effective 📠

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD. 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

Okay, let me break this down for you because I've been through this rodeo before: 1. The medical update your doctor sent is probably the general medical info EDD needs. 2. The supplemental certificate they're asking for is likely the DE 2525XX form. This is specifically for ongoing eligibility for disability benefits. 3. Your doctor needs to fill out this form separately. It's annoying, but that's how EDD works. 4. Call your doctor's office and ask them to fill out the DE 2525XX form. Make sure they know it's different from what they already sent. 5. Once you get the form, submit it to EDD ASAP. You can usually do this online through your EDD account. 6. Keep ALL your paperwork and correspondence. EDD is notorious for "losing" things. 7. If you don't hear back within a week of submitting the form, start calling EDD. Yes, it sucks, but persistence is key. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is frustrating, but hang in there!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🤡

Ive been in the same boat, friend. EDD is a mess rn. Took me 3 months to get my claim sorted. Hang in there!

The supplemental certificate is different from the regular medical update. It's stupid, but they use it to verify ongoing eligibility. Your doctor needs to fill out a specific form for this.

This is why I always say document EVERYTHING when dealing with EDD. Screenshot confirmations, save emails, write down who you talked to and when. It's saved my butt more than once.

Ugh, classic EDD bureaucracy. They always find a way to make things more complicated than they need to be. I've been dealing with them for months and it's always one thing after another.
