Ugh, the EDD paperwork is such a pain! I went through something similar last year. My advice? Keep calling your doctor's office every day until you get that info. Also, gather ALL your other docs while you wait. Trust me, they always ask for more than you think they will. 🙄

I feel ya, OP. The waiting game with EDD is the worst. Have you tried faxing the form to your doctor's office? Sometimes that gets a faster response than leaving a voicemail.

Pro tip: 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/DOLxZQb92wM

Hey OP, sorry youre going thru this. EDD is a total clusterf***. One thing that helped me was getting my state rep involved. They have staff dedicated to helping with this stuff. Might be worth a shot if things keep dragging on.

Listen up, because I've been through the EDD wringer and come out the other side. Here's what you need to do: • Call your doctor's office every single day. Be polite but persistent. • While waiting, gather every possible document related to your case. Birth certificate, medical records, pay stubs, everything. • Set up an online account with EDD if you haven't already. Sometimes you can upload documents there. • Keep a detailed log of every interaction with EDD and your doctor's office. • If you don't hear back within a week, consider reaching out to your local state representative. • Double and triple check every form before submitting. One tiny mistake can set you back weeks. • If possible, fax your documents instead of mailing them. It's faster and you get a confirmation. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself. Good luck!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD 🎪🤡 where the rules are made up and your time doesn't matter

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD seems to be even slower lately? I filed a claim 6 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back. Is this normal now?

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you're super careful about the dates on that Part D form. I messed mine up by one day and they made me start the whole process over. The EDD doesn't mess around with that stuff.

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to get the benefits we've paid into? The system is broken af
