Need help with EDD forms - feeling lost and confused
Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my EDD forms and could really use some help. Has anyone else had issues with them recently? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I feel like I'm missing something important. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ugh, EDD forms are the worst! I've been struggling with them for weeks. What specific issues are you having? Maybe I can help since I've been through the wringer with these things.

•Thanks for responding! I'm just not sure which sections I need to fill out. There are so many different parts, and I don't want to mess anything up. Do you know if there's a guide somewhere that breaks it down step by step?

•Yeah, it can be super confusing. I found this guide on the EDD website that helped me a lot: [link]. It goes through each section and explains what info they're looking for. Hope that helps!

I feel your pain, OP. EDD forms are a nightmare. Have you tried calling their helpline? Sometimes talking to a real person can clear things up quickly.

•I've tried calling, but I can never get through. It's always busy or I'm on hold forever. Any tips for actually reaching someone?

•I found a way 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 explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

•I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. I was desperate after trying to get through for weeks. It's not cheap, but it saved me so much time and stress.

Pro tip: Take screenshots of everything you submit online. EDD has a habit of 'losing' information, and having proof of what you sent can save you a lot of headaches later.

Anyone else feel like the EDD system is designed to be confusing on purpose? 🤔 It's like they want us to make mistakes so they can deny our claims.

•Preach! 🙌 I swear they make it complicated just to discourage people from applying. It's ridiculous.

•Nah, I think it's just old and outdated. They need to upgrade their whole system tbh

Here's a detailed breakdown of how to fill out EDD forms correctly: 1. Gather all necessary documents before starting (pay stubs, ID, etc.) 2. Read each question carefully - don't rush! 3. Be honest and accurate with all information 4. Double-check dates and amounts 5. For work search requirements, keep a detailed log 6. If unsure about a question, leave a note explaining your situation 7. Before submitting, review everything one last time 8. Keep copies of all forms and confirmation numbers Remember, it's better to take your time and do it right than to rush and make mistakes. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to figure out these forms for days. Let me know if you find any good resources!

Hey everyone! I just went through this nightmare myself last month. One thing that really helped me was breaking it down into smaller chunks instead of trying to tackle everything at once. I'd recommend starting with just one section per day - it's less overwhelming that way. Also, if you're dealing with paid family leave specifically, make sure you have your doctor's documentation ready before you even start filling anything out. The medical certification forms are usually the trickiest part! Feel free to DM me if you get stuck on any specific sections - happy to help a fellow EDD survivor 😅

•This is such great advice! Breaking it down into smaller chunks sounds way less intimidating than trying to do everything at once. I never thought about tackling just one section per day. Quick question - when you mention the medical certification forms being tricky, what specifically should I watch out for? I want to make sure I don't mess up that part since it sounds pretty important!
