Where's the EDD SDI office in San Diego to get disability forms?

You don't need to go to a physical EDD office to file for SDI! Everything can be done online or through your doctor. Your doctor should provide you with the DE 2501 form (Doctor's Certificate) and you can file your claim online at edd.ca.gov/SDI_Online. If you're filing for work-related injury, you should actually be applying for Workers' Compensation instead of SDI since you mentioned it happened at work.

i went thru this last month. dont waste ur time going to an office. ur doc needs to fill out the form and YOU submit it online. took me 2 tries to figure out the website but its not that bad once u get it

The previous answers are correct that you don't need to visit an EDD office, but they missed something important. Since you said this was a work injury, you likely need WORKERS' COMPENSATION, not State Disability Insurance (SDI). These are completely different programs! Talk to your employer about filing a workers' comp claim first - they should have given you a DWC-1 form within one day of reporting your injury. SDI generally doesn't cover work-related injuries unless your workers' comp claim is denied.

If you DO still need to talk to someone at EDD for whatever reason, GOOD LUCK!!! I spent TWO WEEKS trying to get through on their phone lines last year when my disability claim was pending. Called 47 times in one day!!! The system is COMPLETELY BROKEN and they don't care about helping injured workers!!

I had trouble reaching EDD last month too, but I used this service called Claimyr that got me through to an actual person at EDD in about 20 minutes. Saved me days of frustration. You can see how it works at https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd and their website is claimyr.com. If you end up needing to call EDD about your claim after you figure out whether it's workers comp or SDI, it might help you avoid the endless busy signals.

To summarize for you since there's a lot of information here: 1. If this is a work injury, you need WORKERS' COMPENSATION first - talk to your employer 2. If workers' comp is denied or doesn't apply, then you can apply for SDI 3. For SDI, everything is done online at SDI Online - no need to visit an office 4. Your doctor provides the medical certification (DE 2501) for SDI claims 5. There is indeed a 7-day waiting period before SDI benefits begin Hope this helps clear things up!

I actually went to the EDD office in San Diego last year thinking the same thing! The office I found was at 303 A Street in downtown, but they just redirected me to do everything online. Waste of a trip and parking $$. Do what everyone else said and handle it online or through your employer for workers comp. Good luck with your injury!
