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

Hey everyone, I need some help with the DE 2525XX form. I'm trying to get it mailed to me but I'm not sure how to go about it. Has anyone gone through this process before? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

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 šŸ™„

ugh, tell me about it. I spent 3 hours on hold last week just to get disconnected 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through in like 20 mins doing that!

Good idea! I'll try that next time. Thx for the tip šŸ‘

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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

idk man, paying to get through seems sketchy. EDD should fix their system instead šŸ¤”

I get the skepticism, but it seriously saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

Can you explain more about how it works? Do they garuantee you'll get through?

Sure! Basically, you choose the EDD line you need to call, pay the fee, and their system starts calling. It navigates the phone tree and waits on hold. When a real person picks up, it calls your phone and connects you. They don't guarantee it'll work every time, but if it doesn't, you can try again for free.

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

Preach! šŸ™Œ It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something

For real. In 2023, this should all be online. Why are we still dealing with paper forms?

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 šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Oh no, that sucks! How do I check if I'm eligible?

You can check on the EDD website under the disability insurance section. They have a list of requirements. Better to do that first before you start the whole process!

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

🤣🤣🤣 sad but true

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! šŸ¤ž
