Help with EDD claim and physician's certificate issues?

Ugh, I've been there. It's such a headache dealing with all the paperwork. What specific issues are you having?

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

Pro tip: make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING. I learned that the hard way when they lost my paperwork. 🤦‍♂️

Has anyone else noticed that the online system is always down when you need it most? It's like they're doing it on purpose I swear 🙄

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: 1. Double-check all the information on your claim form. Make sure dates, names, and ID numbers are correct. 2. For the physician's certificate, ensure your doctor has filled out all required fields. Common mistakes include missing diagnosis codes or incomplete work status information. 3. If possible, submit everything online. It's usually faster than mail. 4. Keep a log of all your interactions, including dates, times, and names of representatives you speak with. 5. If you're really stuck, consider reaching out to your local representative's office. They sometimes can help expedite claims. 6. Don't forget to certify for benefits every two weeks, even if your claim is pending. 7. Join online forums or Facebook groups for your specific type of claim. Other claimants often have great insights. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
