I checked for weeks and my claim status was set for automatic payments. No actions needed. I checked today to make sure my payment was being processed as every other Wednesday is my processing day and it’s now saying I need to submit a continued eligibility questionnaire, however no forms are available to me online. The form needed is DE 2593. Rent is due Friday! I am frustrated that the form needed is not available and I have no idea how long it’ll be before they can upload the form or if I’m going to have to mail it in and wait.

I found a way to solve reaching California Disability representatives, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKhkugmsSqQ

Reach out to EDD to address the missing DE 2593 form. It’s likely a system issue if you haven't received any prior notifications. It's likely they tried to mail it to the address they have for your account. It could be a glitch if it's supposed to be online. Be patient, as phone lines are crazy busy this week. Meanwhile, let your landlord know about the delay - they may be flexible given the situation. Also, look into local emergency assistance for rent support. Keep records of all your communication with EDD for future reference. Hope this gets resolved quickly for you.

To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Disability. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this stress, especially with rent due so soon! This is unfortunately a common issue with EDD's system. A few suggestions that might help: 1) Try calling the disability line early in the morning (around 8 AM) - the wait times are usually shorter then. 2) Check if you can access the form through your SDI Online account rather than the main portal. 3) Some local disability advocacy organizations have copies of forms or can help you navigate the system. 4) If you absolutely can't get the form online, you might need to visit a local EDD office in person. Document everything - take screenshots showing the form isn't available online, as this could help if there are any delays in processing. Hang in there, and I hope this gets resolved quickly for you!

I'm really sorry you're going through this - the timing couldn't be worse with rent due Friday! This exact thing happened to my neighbor last month. Here's what worked for her: She called the EDD disability line at exactly 8:00 AM (1-800-480-3287) and pressed 1-2-1 to get through faster. She also found that sometimes the DE 2593 form shows up under a different section of the online portal - try checking "Forms" instead of your main claim page. If all else fails, you can actually email your local assemblyperson's office - they have EDD liaisons who can often get forms released or issues resolved within 24-48 hours. Also, definitely let your landlord know what's happening - most understand that EDD delays aren't your fault. Keep screenshots of everything showing the form isn't available as proof. You've got this!

I'm so frustrated for you - dealing with EDD system issues when you have rent due is incredibly stressful! I've been through similar situations with missing forms. A few things that have helped me: First, try logging out completely and clearing your browser cache, then log back in - sometimes forms appear after a fresh login. Also, check if there's a "Pending Actions" or "To Do" section that might have the form linked differently. If you have a smartphone, try accessing your account through the mobile browser too - I've had forms show up on mobile that weren't visible on desktop. As a backup plan, you might want to call your county's social services department - they sometimes have emergency rent assistance programs for situations exactly like this where government benefits are delayed through no fault of your own. Document everything with timestamps and screenshots. This really does sound like a system glitch since you went from "no action needed" to needing a form overnight. Hang in there!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this nightmare situation! Having been through EDD disability issues myself, I know how panic-inducing it is when your benefits suddenly get held up, especially with rent looming. Here's what I'd suggest: First, try accessing your account from a completely different device or network - sometimes EDD's system has weird glitches that only affect certain connections. Also, call the disability customer service line at 1-800-480-3287 first thing tomorrow morning (like 7:58 AM) and have your claim number ready. When you get through, ask them to email you the DE 2593 form directly - they can often do this even when the online portal is acting up. In the meantime, contact your local Community Action Agency or 211 (dial 2-1-1) for emergency rent assistance resources - they're designed exactly for situations where government benefit delays threaten housing stability. Also, most landlords are familiar with EDD delays, so definitely give yours a heads up with documentation showing the form isn't available online. This really sounds like a system error since it changed overnight from automatic to requiring a form. Document everything with screenshots and timestamps - EDD often needs to see proof of their own technical issues. You've got this, and don't let their broken system make you feel like this is your fault!

I'm really sorry you're going through this stress! This situation is all too common with EDD's system unfortunately. A few quick suggestions that might help: Try calling 1-800-480-3287 right at 8 AM sharp - the hold times are usually shorter first thing in the morning. Also, sometimes logging out completely, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in can make missing forms appear. If you're still stuck, try accessing your account from your phone's browser instead of desktop - I've seen forms show up on mobile that weren't visible on computer. In the meantime, definitely contact your landlord to explain the situation - most understand that EDD delays aren't your fault. You might also want to reach out to 211 for emergency rent assistance resources while this gets sorted out. Document everything with screenshots showing the form isn't available - this will help if there are processing delays later. This really does sound like a system glitch since it changed from automatic payments to needing a form overnight. Hang in there - you're not alone in dealing with EDD's technical issues!
