Need help getting DE 2525XX form sent to SDI online account for benefit extension
Hey everyone, I need some help extending my SDI benefits. I've been told I need to get the DE 2525XX form sent to my SDI online account inbox. Has anyone gone through this process before? Any tips on how to make sure it gets done quickly? I'm getting a bit anxious about the whole thing.

I've been through this before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the EDD office directly. Make sure you have your account number and claim ID ready. 2. Ask specifically for the DE 2525XX form to be sent to your SDI online account inbox. 3. Be polite but persistent. Sometimes they might try to send it elsewhere, so make sure they understand you need it in your online inbox. 4. If possible, get the name of the person you spoke with and a confirmation number for the request. 5. Follow up in a few days if you don't see it in your inbox. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

AuthorThank you so much for the detailed response! This is really helpful. Do you remember how long it took for the form to show up in your inbox after you called?

No problem! In my case, it took about 3 business days. But I've heard it can vary. If you don't see it after a week, definitely call again.

This is great advice! I'd add one thing: take notes during the call. Write down everything they tell you. It's come in handy for me before when there were mix-ups.

I feel you. The system is so broken. Have you tried calling right when they open? I heard that can help.

Hang in there! It's frustrating but keep trying. Took me almost a month to get through, but I finally did. Don't give up!

Quick question - are you sure you need the DE 2525XX form? When I extended my SDI, they sent me a different form. Might be worth double-checking that's the right one for your situation.

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

Wow, that sounds too good to be true. Does it really work? $20 seems steep but I guess it's worth it if it saves hours of frustration.

Yeah, it really does work! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate after trying for weeks. It connected me in about 30 minutes. Definitely worth the $20 for me.

Idk man, paying to talk to a government agency we fund with our taxes? Seems kinda messed up. 🤔

I get where you're coming from, but for me, time is money. I'd rather pay $20 than waste hours on hold. Plus, it's not like the money goes to EDD - it's for the service that does the waiting for you.

Have you tried faxing your request? Sometimes old school methods work better with these government agencies lol

AuthorFaxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I didn't even think of that. Do you know if they have a fax number for these requests?

Haha, I know right? But yeah, they do have a fax number. It's on their website somewhere. I'll try to find it and post it here later.

Just a heads up, make sure your healthcare provider is ready to fill out the form quickly once you get it. Mine took forever and it almost messed up my extension. 😓

@Dmitry Popov I just went through this exact same process last month! A few additional tips that helped me: 1) When you call, ask them to email you a confirmation that they've processed your request - some reps will do this if you ask nicely. 2) Make sure your SDI online account contact info is up to date before calling. 3) If the first rep says they can't help, politely ask to speak with someone else or call back later - different reps sometimes have different capabilities. The whole process was stressful for me too, but once I got the right person on the phone it was actually pretty straightforward. Good luck! 🤞
