Late DE 2593 form submission causing delay in SDI payments - need help!

I found a way to solve late disability payment issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTFtejrMEek

Ugh, I feel your pain! The EDD system is such a nightmare to navigate. I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblyperson's office? They can sometimes help expedite these things.

I found a method to 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

Here's what you need to do: 1. Fill out the late form ASAP if you haven't already. 2. Call EDD first thing in the morning (8:00 AM sharp) for the best chance of getting through. 3. If you can't get through, try the online contact form and explain your situation. 4. Document everything - dates you called, forms you submitted, etc. 5. If all else fails, contact your local assemblyperson or state senator's office. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but keep at it and you'll get your payments sorted out.

lmao welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🤡 where the rules are made up and the deadlines don't matter

Have you checked if theres any updates to the disability forms? I heard they changed some stuff recently and it's been causing all sorts of issues.

I'm in the same boat rn. Been waiting on payments for over a month. This whole system is broken af 😤

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you to the right person. I got lucky with the tax department once.

Anyone else notice how they never seem to have issues when it comes to taking money FROM us? But when we need help, suddenly everything's broken 🙄

Hey Joshua, I went through something similar a few months ago. The key is to stay on top of it and don't let them brush you off. Here's what worked for me: 1. Submit that late form immediately if you haven't already - better late than never 2. When you call, ask specifically about "expedited processing" for late submissions due to hardship 3. Keep detailed records of every call, including rep names and case numbers 4. If they give you the runaround, escalate to a supervisor immediately The good news is that once they process your late form, they should backdate your payments to cover the gap. It's frustrating but hang in there - you'll get through this! Also, definitely try that assemblyperson tip that others mentioned. They have direct lines to EDD that can cut through a lot of the red tape.

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - missed a deadline on some paperwork and now my payments are stuck in limbo. It's so stressful when you're already dealing with a disability and then have to navigate this bureaucratic maze on top of it. One thing I learned from my case worker is that you can request a "good cause" review for late submissions, especially if you can document that you didn't receive proper notice or had circumstances beyond your control. Might be worth mentioning when you call. Also, don't feel bad about the late submission - their notification system is terrible and so many people miss these deadlines. You're definitely not alone in this struggle!

I've been through this exact same nightmare! Late DE 2593 submissions are unfortunately super common because their notification system is basically non-existent. Here's what saved me: 1. Call the disability line at exactly 8:00 AM - set multiple alarms if you have to 2. When you get through, immediately ask for a "hardship expedite" on your late form processing 3. Mention that the delay is causing financial hardship (they have special protocols for this) 4. Get the rep's name and a case/reference number for everything The frustrating part is they'll likely backdate your payments once processed, but it can take 2-3 weeks. I know that doesn't help with immediate bills, but at least you'll get everything you're owed. Also, if you have any documentation showing you didn't receive proper notice of the deadline (like email confirmations, mail delivery issues, etc.), mention that too. They can sometimes waive late penalties with good cause. Hang in there - this system is broken but you WILL get through it! 💪
