Lost EDD Notice of Computation - Need help getting it resent ASAP!

Ugh, been there done that. It's such a pain when you misplace important documents. Have you tried calling the office directly? Sometimes they can resend it pretty quickly if you explain the 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/DOLxZQb92wM

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they upload digital copies of important documents there. Might be worth a look before you go through the hassle of calling.

This happened to me last year. I ended up going to the local office in person. It was a bit of a wait, but they were able to print out a new copy for me on the spot. Might be worth a try if you're close to an office!

Here's what you need to do to get a new notice of computation: 1. Log into your online account first. Sometimes they have digital copies available for download. 2. If that doesn't work, call the main office number. Best times are early morning or right after lunch. 3. Be prepared with your Social Security number, claim ID (if you have it), and current mailing address. 4. Explain that you lost the original letter and need a replacement sent. 5. Ask if they can expedite the mailing or if there's an option for email delivery. 6. If you can't get through on the phone, consider visiting a local office in person. Bring ID and any other relevant documents. 7. While waiting for the new letter, ask if they can verbally confirm any important dates or amounts over the phone. 8. Set a reminder to follow up if you haven't received the new letter within 5-7 business days. Remember, stay persistent and polite. These offices deal with tons of requests, so patience is key. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through so many hoops just to get a copy of our own info? the system is broken af 🤡

Quick question - how long ago did you lose the letter? If it's been less than 30 days, they might be able to just resend the original without you having to request a new one. Worth asking about!

Whatever you do, don't ignore this! I made that mistake and ended up missing an important deadline. Took months to sort out the mess. Stay on top of it!

I went through this exact same situation a few months ago! The online account suggestion is definitely worth checking first - I was surprised to find a PDF copy there that I had completely missed. If that doesn't work out, I'd recommend trying the in-person route if you have a local office nearby. I know it's a bit of a hassle, but in my experience they were way more helpful face-to-face than over the phone. Plus you can walk out with the document in hand instead of waiting for mail. Just make sure to bring your ID and any paperwork you still have from your claim. Hope this helps and you get it sorted out quickly!

Just wanted to add that you can also try emailing them if calling doesn't work out. I know it's slower than phone, but sometimes they respond to emails faster than you'd expect. Also, if you do end up going the in-person route, try to go mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday) if possible - I've found the lines are usually shorter then. And definitely save/screenshot any digital copies you find in your online account for future reference. Nothing worse than losing important docs twice! Good luck getting this sorted out 🍀
