How to update EDD file with doctor's note to end disability benefits?

I found a way to solve updating EDD disability file, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab0zTFzaQ1g

I went through this last year. You need to fax or mail the doctor's note to EDD. Make sure you include your claim number on every page! It can take a few weeks for them to process it, so be patient.

Ugh, dealing with EDD is always such a headache. I swear they make everything 10x more complicated than it needs to be. Good luck, OP!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD. 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. Get a clear, legible copy of your doctor's note 2. Write your full name, claim number, and phone number on the note 3. Fax it to the EDD Disability Insurance Office at (855) 341-6309 4. Keep the fax confirmation as proof 5. Follow up by phone in about 5-7 business days if you don't see any updates online If you don't have access to a fax, you can mail it to: EDD PO Box 989777 West Sacramento, CA 95798-9777 Just remember, mailing can take longer to process. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we still gotta jump thru all these hoops in 2023? like bruh, we can order pizza with an emoji but updating ur edd file is like solving a rubiks cube blindfolded 🤡

Quick tip: If you're gonna fax, use an online fax service. Way easier than finding an actual fax machine these days. Plus you get a digital record of everything sent.

Has anyone had luck calling the EDD directly? I've been trying for days and can't get through. It's so frustrating!

Just went through this exact process last month! One thing I'd add to the great advice already given - make sure your doctor's note specifically states that you're "able to return to work" or "no longer disabled" rather than just saying your condition has improved. EDD is really picky about the wording. Also, if you have multiple medical conditions on your claim, the note needs to address all of them. Learned this the hard way when they rejected my first submission because it only mentioned my back injury but not my anxiety disorder. Hope this helps save you some time!
