EDD shows wrong return-to-work date, doctor can't access account. Help!

Ugh, classic EDD mess-up. I had a similar issue last year. You definitely need to call them and get it straightened out ASAP. The problem is actually getting through to a real person... 🙄

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 you need to do: 1. Keep calling EDD until you get through. Use the 1-800-300-5616 number. 2. When you finally reach someone, explain the situation clearly. 3. Ask them to update your claim with the new end date from your doctor. 4. Request a confirmation number or reference for the call. 5. Follow up with a written request through your EDD online account. If they give you any trouble, ask to speak with a tier 2 representative. They have more authority to make changes. Also, make sure you have a copy of the doctor's note extending your leave. You might need to fax or upload it to your account. Good luck! The system's a mess, but persistence pays off.

have u tried faxing the doctors note directly to EDD? sometimes that works faster than calling

EDD is such a joke. They never update anything on time and then we're the ones who suffer. 🤡 system fr

Quick question - did your doctor submit the updated disability form (DE 2501) to EDD? Sometimes the issue is on the medical provider's end, not EDD.

Hot tip: call right when they open. I usually have better luck getting through early in the morning. Also, Wednesdays seem to be less busy for some reason 🤷‍♂️

OMG I'm dealing with the EXACT same thing rn. Following this thread for advice. Solidarity, OP! 💪
