Ugh, I feel ya. I just went through this nightmare last month. Make sure you answer everything honestly and consistently. They'll cross-check your answers with your previous claims, so don't contradict yourself!

AuthorThanks for the heads up! Did you have any issues after submitting it? How long did it take for them to process?

It took about 2 weeks for them to process mine. No issues, but I've heard horror stories. Just be thorough and you should be fine!

2 weeks? You're lucky! Mine took over a month and then they asked for additional info. š EDD is a mess rn

Pro tip: keep a copy of everything you submit. You never know when you'll need to reference it later. I learned that the hard way š

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about this! 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

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? Anyone else tried it?

Totally get the skepticism, but yeah it's legit. I was desperate after trying for weeks to get through. It's not cheap, but it saved me hours of frustration.

Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect with the DE 2593: ā¢ It's basically a re-evaluation of your eligibility ā¢ They'll ask about your work search efforts ā¢ Be prepared to provide info on any income you've earned ā¢ They might ask about your availability for work ā¢ Answer truthfully, but don't volunteer extra info ā¢ Double-check all dates and amounts before submitting Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any specific questions.

AuthorThis is super helpful, thank you so much! Quick question - do I need to provide proof of job searches or just list them?

You usually just need to list them, but keep records in case they ask for verification later. Better safe than sorry!

Quick question - does anyone know if gig work affects eligibility? I've been doing some food delivery on the side and idk if I should mention it š¬

You definitely need to report any income, including gig work. They can find out and you don't want to risk fraud charges!

Pro tip: set a reminder on your phone for when you need to submit this form. I totally spaced on mine and it caused a huge delay in my benefits. Don't be like me lol

Has anyone else noticed that the online system is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? š EDD needs to get it together

Friendly reminder to everyone: be patient with the EDD staff when you do get through. They're swamped and it's not their fault the system sucks. A little kindness goes a long way!

This! š I used to work for a gov agency (not EDD) and the amount of abuse we got was insane. They're just doing their jobs.

I'm going through the same thing right now! One thing that helped me was calling the DE 2593 hotline early in the morning (like 8:01 AM sharp) - way better chance of getting through than the main EDD line. Also, if you're stuck on any questions, there's a "help" button next to each section that actually gives decent explanations. Don't rush through it - I made that mistake the first time and had to resubmit. Good luck! š¤
