EDD Parental Leave: How to get Authorization for Release of Records form?

I found a way to solve EDD Authorization form request issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VwQrnKhy2E

Ugh, the EDD website is such a maze! 🤦‍♂️ I had the same issue last year. Try calling their main line and specifically ask for the Authorization for Release of Records form. They should be able to email it to you or give you a direct link.

I found a method to get someone on the phone quickly. 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you tried checking your EDD online account? Sometimes they upload forms there that aren't easily findable on the main website. Worth a shot!

Ok, listen up folks. I've been through this rodeo before, so here's the deal with the Authorization for Release of Records form: • It's NOT available on the public EDD website • You need to request it directly from an EDD representative • Call the EDD's main line: 1-800-300-5616 • Be prepared for a long wait (seriously, it can be hours) • Once you get someone, ask specifically for the "Authorization for Release of Records" form • They can email it to you or mail a physical copy • Make sure to fill it out completely and follow submission instructions carefully Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right at 8:00 AM when they open, or late in the afternoon around 4:00 PM. Sometimes the wait times are shorter then. Hope this helps! Good luck with your claims. 👍

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get a simple form? 🤡 edd needs to get their act together fr

Quick question - does anyone know if both parents need to fill out separate Authorization for Release of Records forms, or can one form cover both claims?

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you and your wife stay on top of any deadlines for submitting docs. EDD can be real sticklers about that stuff. Don't wanna see you guys miss out on benefits cause of some bureaucratic bs!

Not to be that guy, but have you tried, ya know, googling it? 🤔 Sometimes you can find PDFs of these forms floating around on other sites.

Congrats on the new addition to your family! 👶 Don't let the EDD stress you out too much. You'll get it sorted eventually. Enjoy those baby snuggles!
