EDD sent multiple similar forms - duplicates or separate? Help!

Ugh, been there done that. The bureaucracy is real 🙄 Best thing to do is call them directly and ask. Make sure you have all the forms in front of you when you call so you can describe them accurately.

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

Here's what I've learned from dealing with similar situations: • First, check the form numbers or titles. They should be different if they serve different purposes. • Look for any instructions that came with the forms. Sometimes they explain which ones you need to fill out. • Pay attention to the dates on the forms. If they're all the same, they might be duplicates. • If there are slight differences, they might be for different aspects of your claim or benefits. • When in doubt, fill them all out. It's better to provide too much info than not enough. • Keep copies of everything you send in! Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol welcome to government efficiency at its finest 🤡 I swear they make it confusing on purpose

Have you tried checking their website? Sometimes they have explanations for different forms there. Might save you a phone call.

I had the same issue last month. Turns out two of my forms were duplicates (they sent them twice by mistake) and the third was a separate thing entirely. Definitely call and ask - better safe than sorry!
