How to request DE 2525XX form from EDD? Need help ASAP!

I found a way to solve DE 2525XX form request issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCsol9suKVE

I went through this last year. You need to call EDD directly and request the form. Be prepared to wait on hold for a while tho, their phone lines are always jammed 🙄

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the wait. 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 for more info: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to know about the DE 2525XX form: • It's the Continued Claim Form for disability insurance • You should receive it automatically if you're already on disability • If you haven't received it, you can request it online through your SDI account • Alternatively, you can call EDD at 1-800-480-3287 to request it • Make sure to fill it out completely and accurately to avoid delays • Return it promptly, even if you're not sure about some answers - you can always update later • Keep a copy for your records Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to get a form? The whole system needs an overhaul smh

Has anyone tried faxing a request for the form? I heard that sometimes works faster than calling or mailing.

Just a heads up, make sure you're eligible for the DE 2525XX before you request it. I wasted weeks waiting for a form I didn't even qualify for 🤦‍♂️

lol good luck. EDD is a black hole where all logic and efficiency go to die 💀

I just went through this process last month! Here's what worked for me: log into your SDI Online account first - sometimes the form is already available there for download. If not, I called the 1-800-480-3287 number around 8:05 AM (right after they open) and got through in about 15 minutes. The rep was actually really helpful and had the form mailed to me within 3 business days. Just have your case number ready when you call. Good luck! 🤞

Just wanted to add that if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, you can also try visiting a local EDD office in person. I know it's not ideal, but sometimes they can help you request the form right there or give you a paper copy if they have it available. I did this when I was desperate and couldn't get through on the phone after multiple attempts. The wait wasn't too bad and the staff was pretty helpful. Make sure to bring your ID and any relevant paperwork just in case!

I actually had success requesting the DE 2525XX form through the EDD website's "Contact EDD" feature. You can submit a request online and they usually respond within 5-7 business days. It's not the fastest option, but it saved me from sitting on hold forever. Just go to the EDD website, find the "Contact EDD" section, select "Disability Insurance" as your topic, and explain that you need the DE 2525XX form mailed to you. Make sure to include your full name, SSN, and current address. They'll usually email you back with a confirmation that they're processing your request. Worth a try if the phone lines are too busy!

Another option that worked for me recently - you can also request the DE 2525XX form by mailing a written request to EDD. I sent a letter with my full name, SSN, mailing address, and specifically requested the DE 2525XX form. Mailed it to their disability insurance department and got the form back in about 10 business days. Not the fastest method, but it's reliable if you're not comfortable with online requests or can't get through on the phone. Just make sure to keep a copy of your letter and maybe send it certified mail so you have proof they received it. Sometimes the old-school approach actually works! 📬

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! I'm definitely going to try multiple approaches - starting with checking my SDI Online account first (didn't even know that existed!), then maybe trying the online Contact EDD feature if the form isn't there. The early morning calling tip seems like solid advice too. Really appreciate this community coming together to help each other navigate the EDD maze! 🙏 Will update once I get my form sorted out.

Hey Evelyn! I just went through this exact same situation a few weeks ago. Here's what I learned: definitely start by logging into your SDI Online account first - mine was actually already there waiting for me and I had no idea! If it's not there, I had good luck calling the 1-800-480-3287 number right at 8 AM when they open. Took about 25 minutes to get through but the rep was super helpful. Also, make sure you have your case number handy when you call - it speeds things up a lot. The form arrived in my mailbox about 4 days later. Don't stress too much, you'll get it sorted! Let us know how it goes! 😊

I just want to echo what everyone else is saying about checking your SDI Online account first - that's definitely the easiest route if the form is available there. If not, I'd recommend trying the Contact EDD online feature that @CosmosCaptain mentioned before spending hours on hold. I actually used that method for a different form request and it worked great. The 5-7 business day timeline is pretty accurate in my experience. Also, don't forget to check your spam/junk folder if you submit an online request - sometimes their automated responses end up there. Hope you get this sorted out quickly!

I just want to add one more option that hasn't been mentioned yet - if you're really stuck and none of the other methods work, you can also try reaching out to your local state assembly member's office. They often have staff who specialize in helping constituents navigate EDD issues and can sometimes expedite requests or get you connected to the right person. I had to do this for a different EDD issue and they were surprisingly helpful. It might seem like overkill for a form request, but if you're dealing with time-sensitive disability payments, it could be worth a shot. Just another tool in the toolbox! 🛠️

Just wanted to share my recent experience with getting the DE 2525XX form! I was in a similar situation a couple months ago and here's what worked for me: I tried the SDI Online account first like everyone suggests, but the form wasn't available there. So I ended up using the Contact EDD online feature and it took exactly 6 business days to get a response with instructions on how to access the form. What I learned is that sometimes they don't actually mail the physical form anymore - instead they send you a secure link to download and print it yourself. Make sure you have a printer or access to one before you submit the online request! Also, keep checking your email obsessively because the link expires after 30 days. Hope this helps someone else going through the same thing! 📄✨

Just wanted to add another tip that helped me recently - if you're having trouble with any of the online methods, try clearing your browser cache and cookies before accessing the SDI Online portal or Contact EDD feature. I was getting weird error messages when trying to log in, and it turned out to be a browser issue. Also, make sure you're using a supported browser (Chrome or Firefox work best in my experience). Sometimes the simplest tech fixes can save you hours of frustration! And definitely bookmark this thread - so much good info here from everyone's experiences. This community is awesome! 💪

Just adding to all the great advice here - I recently discovered that if you're already receiving disability benefits, the DE 2525XX form is also sometimes automatically included with your benefit payment stub or mailed separately around the time your claim period is about to end. I almost went through the whole request process before I realized it was sitting in a stack of mail I hadn't opened yet! 🤦‍♀️ So maybe check any recent EDD mail you might have received before going through all the request steps. Could save you some time and hassle. But if you don't have it, definitely follow all the excellent advice everyone's shared here - this thread is like a master guide for getting EDD forms!
